Disaster at Battledown #3

Managing Nova3D Washable Mecha Resin

This stuff has a mind of its own.

Lattice and handrails warped.
The whole part also twisted.

This is what it does to models designed with mostly thin plate sections and how to manage it.

1. Within minutes off the build plate it will steadily warp significantly. It does not matter if supports and rafts are removed or not.

2. Whilst wet from the wash cure it slowly in day/sun/light on a windowsill for a day, occasionally rotating for all surfaces to cure. Within a few hours it will regain its designed form.

After a few hours curing 
it regains its desired shape.

3. After cure there may still be minor warping evident in places. Heat the warp using a hair dryer for 5 to 10 seconds. Bend to the required form and hold in place until set.

Can't say I would use this resin again for models with mostly thin plate sections. I'd prefer a washable resin that has some pliability but with less warping. 

Nova3D Washable Mecha Resin used here is best for maximum pliability, from reviews I have seen.
