    I've recently bought some 3D printed resin kits, what is the best and safest way to clean the parts ?

    Looking forward to those kits, Allan @kalamazoo
    Unfortunately I don't have that much experience on resin kits, just a few smaller parts which I cleaned a bit by sanding.

    Also looking forward to your 3D printed kits, Allan (@kalamazoo). I have been printing some 3D parts on a small printer that I got a year ago. I use alcohol to clean my parts after printing. Alcohol should be safe, or water and soap should also work.

    I use soapy water and then rinse with warm water. Last model was an M777 howitzer I built last year from Vargas Models. Incredible detail you can achieve with resin 3D these days and the printers are not even expensive. Only drawback is the clumsy cleaning after the job... @kalamazoo

    Thank you for your replies, John, George and Michel, I've only tried a couple of versions of soapy water so far, will try IPA next !
