Product Usage Instructions
Printing
- Blu Nylon Mecha is a tough and wear-resistant resin suitable for different types of 3D printers. It is specifically designed for MSLA/LCD printers, but it can also be printed on some 405nm SLA and DLP printers with exposure control.
- For optimal results, it is recommended to use slicer profiles tailored to your printer model and software. You can download slicer profiles for Chitubox and Lychee slicers from this link: https://siraya.tech/pages/print-settingsdownload
Cleaning
Here are some tips for cleaning your printed parts:
- Make sure to remove any excess resin from the printed part using a soft brush or cloth.
- Rinse the part with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to remove any remaining uncured resin.
- Allow the part to air dry or use compressed air to speed up the drying process.
Post Curing
Blu Nylon Mecha reaches its optimal strength when the printed part is post-
cured with UV light after cleaning. Follow these steps for post-curing:
- Ensure the printed part is completely cleaned of any resin and there is no alcohol residue.
- Use a 395-405nm UV light source for curing.
- Submerge the printed part in water during the curing process to increase curing efficiency.
- Cure the part for approximately 15 minutes.

Work Flow
Printing
- Blu Nylon Mecha is a tough and wear-resistant resin, and it is a versatile material that can be used with different types of 3D printers. It is specially designed for MSLA/LCD
- printers yet, it can also be printed on some of the 405nm SLA and DLP printers if you have access to exposure control.
- Blu Nylon Mecha is a thick resin best prints over 25C. Due to its unique Mecha low surface, its bottom exposure time is much higher than one would expect.
- To achieve optimal results with Blu tough resin, you need to use the appropriate slicer profiles for your printer model and software. You can download the slicer profiles for
- Chitu box and Lychee slicers from this link: https://siraya.tech/pages/print-settings-download
Clean
Here are some tips for cleaning your printed parts:
- Use a painter brush (or any brush made with hair) to remove excess resins on the printed part.
- Use 95% concentrated Ethanol (preferred) or IPA to clean. Some form of methanol should work but make sure it does not contain acetone.
- Do not submerge the parts in alcohol for more than 5 minutes.
- After cleaning, remove alcohol as soon as possible with a hair dryer or air blower. For complex parts with lots of cavities, it may be a good idea to clean/dry multiple times.
- You can check by touching the dried surface of the part to see if it is still sticky. If the dried surface is still sticky, wash some more and dry again.
Post Curing
Here are some tips for post-curing your printed parts:
- Blu reached its optimal strength when the printed part was post-cured with UV after cleaning. Use 395-405nm UV light and cure for about 15 minutes.
- Make sure the resin is completely cleaned off, and there is no alcohol left (it needs to be dry) on the print before curing.
- Curing by submerging the object in water will significantly increase curing efficiency.
