In this video I show how I print UV resin on a standard FDM printer. This has two main challenges: pumping the resin and curing the resin. I chose to use a peristaltic pump so the mechanics don’t come in contact with the resin, but I had to solve the pulsating problem of this type of pump. For curing the resin, I use standard low power lasers.
