tourmalinex Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 It takes about 6 hours to print out the masks. Then they are cleaned in 99% Isopropyl alcohol, I have a washing machine for the parts. They are washed as a batch for 30 minutes. Then they are placed in an area to airdry. The next step is that all the masks are placed in a UV chamber and cured for 30 minutes. After this the masks are primed for painting, each mask is dipped in a custom dyed food grade resin, that is used to make cutting-boards. Then the masks are cured with dry heat for 72 hours. The last step is to use a pen-knife to remove anything, from around the mask’s connecter pegs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
