Printing Tips
- Level your build plate.
- If it’s your first print with this resin, print something small first.
- Find initial printing settings here: AmeraLabs resin settings.
- Use support column thickness of 1.5-2mm, support tip thickness of 0.2-0.6mm.
- Use attachment layer.
- Hollow your models.
- Use slower lift speeds. 5mm/min for bottom layers, 40-60mm/min for normal layers.
Printing Speed
Tailored for optimal performance on low-powered MSLA/LCD 3D printers using LED light sources emitting 365-420nm UV light. XVN-50 is compatible with both colour and monochrome LCD 3D printers, including models such as Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K, Elegoo Saturn, and Anycubic M5. Moreover, it consistently delivers outstanding results on DLP 3D printers like Asiga, Elegoo Mars 4, and Anycubic Photon D2.

Surface
After post-curing, XVN-50 prints have a non-sticky, touch-friendly finish. Featuring a durable surface with a hardness of 82 shore D, the prints are resistant to scratching. Thanks to their non-brittle nature, supports can be easily cut with a hobby knife. These 3D prints can be effortlessly sanded, drilled, tapped for threading, and painted. XVN-50 resin is meticulously pigmented, available in a sleek solid black colour.
Moisture & Chemical Resistance
XVN-50 demonstrates moisture resistance, with only 3.12% water absorption over 24 hours (ASTM D570). This feature guarantees minimal deformation or changes in mechanical properties when exposed to humidity or brief liquid contact. However, it’s advisable to avoid prolonged contact with water, organic solvents, or other liquids for objects printed with XVN-50.

Cleaning Procedure
XVN-50 features a low-medium viscosity, which calls for cleaning to avoid resin entrapment in small model gaps. For Wash and Cure stations, immerse the print in IPA for 15 minutes, repeating as needed. If using standard IPA baths, follow this 4-step process:
- Submerge the print in IPA for 10 minutes.
- Actively swirl the IPA with the part for 1 minute.
- Allow the part to stand submerged for an additional 10 minutes, then change to fresh IPA.
- Actively swirl the bath for another 1 minute.
For ultrasonic cleaners, place the part in a sealed IPA container within the cleaner for 10 minutes, not exceeding 20 minutes. Avoid prolonged submersion (over 1 hour) to prevent model damage and preserve polymer properties.
Post-Cleaning Procedure
While it’s easier to remove supports pre-post-curing, you can alternatively post-cure prints with supports intact for potential geometric improvements. Post-curing time, ranging from 5 minutes to 1 hour, depends on your curing station. Immediate post-curing after cleaning and drying is crucial. Achieving a non-sticky, resilient surface for XVN-50 prints requires thorough post-curing, rendering them resistant to scratching.
