Using this specific product
Formlabs Grey Resin V5 is listed here as the SLA photopolymer version for maker resin. For casting resin, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.
Before you start
- Confirm the package says SLA photopolymer; related versions can use different timing.
- For maker resin, pay particular attention to accurate mixing, mold material, mass and room temperature.
- At manufacturer-stated conditions; temperature, humidity and film thickness can change drying time.
How to check readiness
Check the casting itself for flex or tack before demolding. Confirm the surface is dry and ready before continuing. Post-cure for the manufacturer-specified time; a common Grey Resin schedule is 30 minutes. Lift or move the item gently and avoid twisting the bond or pressing finished faces together.
Avoid this mistake
Demold time is not necessarily full mechanical cure.
