RPU 130

overview rpu 130 is a strong, tough, and heat resistant material with an impact resistance of 76 j/m and a heat deflection temperature of 119°c made with 30% bio based susterra® propanediol, it balances performance and sustainability its properties make it comparable to unfilled thermoplastics like nylon and polypropylene notes not compatible with the m1 printer ; compatible with m2, m3, m3 max and l1 printers m2 printer requires a c5 heated cassette and c5 connector cable requires a cox dual drive dispenser smart part washer compatible with dpm (di(propylene glycol) methyl ether; cas 34590 94 8; 99+% purity) not compatible with vf 1 solvent sustainability 29 5% plant based material u s customers only contact carbon support to complete one time only epa regulatory paperwork to purchase rpu 130 resource links https //www carbon3d com/materials/rpu 130 material overview and uses cases https //docs carbon3d com/files/technical data sheets/tds carbon rpu 130 pdf ``mechanical properties and data https //www carbon3d com/stewardship login required protocol sheet this downloadable handout provides important usage information, including instructions about compatible hardware, storage, resin dispensing, washing and curing print it out and bring it into the lab english spanish/español german/deutsch design if attempting feature sizes smaller than the docid\ t94pr a c0pihy6ljswk7 , note the following for rpu 130 thin walls are especially susceptible to deformation after washing with dpm solvent handle thin features with extra care in the green state before baking holes and engravings (negative features) may be difficult to fully clean due to the high viscosity of the liquid resin digital prep stability supports suction and resin flow forces will be higher at the beginning of a print as the cassette is still heating up orient parts to keep thin/delicate features later in the print and/or utilize more docid\ doba4qkkoxpi 52yw3ncr on thin/delicate features m2 printer project estimates print stats & project analysis can be run in the printer ui for estimation purposes with or without the c5 cassette installed access the print controls tab under the cassettes cassettes pull down menu, select the m2c5 option run analysis for estimation purposes on the project analysis tab please note the c5 cassette must be installed for printing selecting a cassette type for analysis will not effect the cassette type you ultimately print with print control cassette drop down menu thermal processing some resins may crystallize or freeze at lower temperatures requiring a thermal processing step, also known as incubation, prior to dispensing reference this downloadable pdf for instructions dispensing c5 cassette on m2 printers, rpu 130 requires the use of a heated cassette, type c5, and a c5 cable the m3 and l1 printers have built in heating components to accommodate rpu 130 for more information about the c5 cassette, please see docid\ l2pjeufznhenpztdqfvzv film on surface rpu 130 will develop a film on the surface of the liquid resin after dispensing this is normal and will not affect the print washing washing on platform strongly recommended to prevent warping wash parts as soon as possible after printing for best results expect more touch up if parts are waiting for washing this is especially true for overnight prints blue sheen and film a blue sheen and film on parts before washing is normal if blue sheen remains after washing further touch up of parts via swabbing may reduce the surface finish inconsistency the blue sheen is surface only and will not affect material properties blue sheen on unwashed parts blue sheen on unwashed parts blue sheen on parts after washing blue sheen on parts after washing scratches washing parts on platform recommended washing multiple parts off platform will lead to scratching in an orbital wash allow parts to fully dry before handling air dry on platform or dry more quickly by utilizing the compressed air cabinet warping washing parts on the platform is strongly recommended to prevent solvent warping curing rpu 130 is less susceptible to sagging than other resins during thermal curing
