TGM-7 resin - AmeraLabs
Crafted for the precise needs of tabletop gaming enthusiasts, the TGM-7 resin from AmeraLabs stands out as a low-odor solution that swiftly cures to perfection. Tailored specifically for the creation of durable gaming miniatures, this resin boasts an impressive blend of characteristics. With a hard surface measuring between Shore 75-85 D, it ensures intricate details are impeccably captured while offering a non-sticky, scratch-resistant canvas that welcomes paint effortlessly.
Much like the AMD-3 resin by AmeraLabs, the TGM-7 resin prides itself on delivering parts that are dimensionally accurate and stable, exhibiting a fine balance between flexibility and resilience. With mechanical properties revealing a tensile strength at break of 35-40 MPa (ISO-527, post-cured) and an elongation at break of 42-52% (ISO-527, post-cured), rest assured your miniatures are fortified against the rigors of gaming.
The final (post-curing) properties of miniatures 3D printed with the TGM-7 resin may differ when subjected to severe circumstances such as excessive humidity, extremely arid atmospheres, and elevated temperatures (over 60 ºC) over extended durations. Thus, this resin is not suitable for applications involving continual exposure to water, organic solvents, and similar substances. If those properties are needed, please take a look at the AMD-3 resin by AmeraLabs.
The TGM-7 3D resin is compatible with both MSLA (Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K, Anycubic Photon M5, Zortrax Inkspire, etc.) and DLP (Anycubic Photon Ultra or Photon D2) resin 3D printers with 365-420 nm light sources.
However, it's important to note that the TGM-7 resin cannot be used with laser-based resin 3D printers which utilize VAT trays lined with PDMS silicone (e.g., Formlabs 3D printers). 3D printing profiles for this resin can be consulted here.
As far as washing and post-curing, the recommended parameters will largely depend on the washing and curing equipment used. A comprehensive guide for the TGM-7 resin is available on the manufacturer's website. In this guide post-processing is discussed in detail.
Parts 3D printed with the TGM-7 resin by AmeraLabs can be further post-processed once washed and post-cured. Since this resin was designed for gaming purposes, the miniatures can be painted with great results. The resin is compatible with primers, coatings and paint and will allows users to create highly customized tabletop gaming miniatures. Alternatively, colorants can be added to the resin before printing to directly print colorful details.
On the AmeraLabs website the user can find a detailed guide on how to 3D print with the TGM-7 resin to achieve optimal results. For those who are only beginning their adventure with resin 3D printing, we recommend reading the Beginner's Guide to AmeraLabs resins as well as referring to the troubleshooting guide prepared by AmeraLabs in case any problems occur while 3D printing with the TGM-7 resin.
Parts 3D printed with the TGM-7 resin will achieve their specific properties only after being subjected to post-processing by washing and curing.
AmeraLabs recommends using IPA alcohol for the washing and the washing time will largely depend on the washing equipment used. If a washing station is used, the average washing time is 12 minutes and a second wash if 6 minutes if required. If an ordinary bucket system and manual cleaning are used, the parts should be submerged for 10 minutes, swirled for 1 minute, submerged for another 10 minutes in clean IPA, and swirled again for 1 minute. Since the TGM-7 resin has slightly higher viscosity than most 3D printing resins, parts 3D printed with it should not be left submerged in solvents for longer 40 minutes as it may damage the models or the part's final properties.
Once washed, the parts 3D printed with the TGM-7 resin must be dried and cured immediately either with the help of a curing station (with or without supports). The recommended curing times will depend on the used equipment but can range from anywhere between 5 to 60 minutes (until the surface of the part is not sticky anymore). The rule of thumb is that parts should be cured until not sticky anymore.
Certain precautions must be taken when working with 3D printing resins. The user must ensure that the working space is adequately ventilated, and that protective goggles, gloves and garments are worn at all times. The TGM-7 resin should be stored in a tightly closed container/resin vat to avoid resin deterioration due to UV exposure. The container/vat should be kept in a cool, well ventilated area away from heat, sparks and open flame. To get a better idea of how to work with the AmeraLabs resins safely, please read the manufacturer's blog post on the most common resin safety myths.
