Recycling IPA - Distillation for Resin 3D Printing
Is it possible to recycle resin saturated IPA back into its crystal clear form?
In this video, we delve into one method of reclaiming IPA via a common water distiller. A couple of safety tips for the distillation are presented to minimize fire risk. We also discuss the recovery efficiency and perform a cost analysis.
I highly recommend using a distiller with a temperature controller.
