What if you had an unlimited supply of alcohol? We use a lot of alcohol (isopropyl, IPA, or denatured) in resin 3d printing, specifically to clean parts. And what do you do with it after its dirty with resin? In this video I try out a ceramic gravity filter to see if it can clean alcohol so we can reuse it. I had mixed results. Is it worth the hassle? Tell me what you think in the comments.

Thanks to Phodontist for letting me borrow his idea. Go check out the video that gave me the idea and give it a like:    • DIY Gravity Filter for Isopropyl Alco...  

That article in Slate about prohibition and why we have denatured alcohol: https://slate.com/technology/2010/02/...

I think he was using this one: https://amzn.to/3MrTjmH

But his are taller and probably you need a bigger bucket and to run more alcohol through each time. You can probably use any ceramic filter.

I don't have a link to the buckets. Honestly they'd be too expensive on amazon. It's better to get ones from Ace or Home Depot.
