How do I properly dispose of resin after 3D printing?

  1. Allow the resin to fully cure: After 3D printing, allow the resin to fully cure and harden. This may take a few hours to a few days, depending on the type of resin used.

  2. Dispose of solidified resin: Once the resin has fully cured, it can be disposed of as solid waste. Check with your local waste management facility for specific guidelines on how to dispose of solidified resin.

  3. Do not pour uncured resin down the drain: It is important to never pour uncured resin down the drain as it can be harmful to the environment and can clog pipes.

  4. Use a resin disposal container: Some 3D printing enthusiasts use a dedicated resin disposal container to collect and store used resin. Once the container is full, it can be sealed and disposed of according to local regulations.

  5. Follow local regulations: Different areas may have specific regulations for the disposal of resin and other 3D printing materials. Be sure to check with your local waste management facility for guidance on proper disposal methods.

  6. Consider recycling options: Some resin materials may be recyclable, so it is worth exploring recycling options in your area for proper disposal of resin after 3D printing.
