Sealing Up Rapid Prototype parts
Sealing Up Rapid Prototype parts
(OP)
We recently purchased a Dimension 3D ABS Plus printer. The pieces were coming out great size wise but they leaked like seives. Dimension wanted $80 for a handball can size container of sealer.
Someone told us to try MEK, methyl ethyl keytone. IT WORKS GREAT!
In general brush it on and it disolves a small amount of the ABS and it will skin over when it dries. Add more coats for a better seal. You can also glue pieces together if you use enough of it and moderate pressure.
Hope this helps someone.
