Good resin, easy to print

This is red resin. Let's get the obvious out of the way: it's more tangerine than red. It prints light, it's semi-flexible, it prints sharp detail. Heat especially helps release support with this resin, but it comes off cleanly even without (I purposely ripped the torso off with cold to test this). This was a pre-maintained file and had no crashes, seems pretty handy for pre-support. The metal bottle is reminiscent of some other companies, but it's not a new sticker on the same bottle. I also have Reprapper201 and Saint Smart Resin which use the same vial but have a different liquid. Very low viscosity, which is good, not much thicker than water. One of the thinnest resins I've used (around 30). The smell is unique, I've never heard anything like it. It's not very good, but it's also far from the most annoying thing I've ever used. It appears to be a low pigment/alcohol dye mix and leaves no white particles in the vat or on the model at all. I recommend gentle mixing in a vat between prints. Very easy to clean with alcohol in no time, no scrubbing required. Just dip, soak for 30-60 seconds, take out and blow dry, done. Non-tacky reprint in green condition. This is a resin with a long exposure time, which is a positive, not a negative. With the performance of some MSLA mono-screen printers, due to some speeds, layer times of less than 1 second, times are now becoming absurdly low, which can lead to uniformity problems and unpredictable print defects. Printed on Uniz IbeeLayer Height: 50ฮผm Layer Time: 4.2 seconds Base Layer: 3 Base Layer Time: 11 layer Lift Speed 80 mm/m Base Lift Speed 40 mm/m Retract Speed 150 mm/m Printed at 72ยฐF ambient temperature The base was printed flat on the build plate, without a notable kick of an elephant, so the base time is a good 11, but not too long Would I buy again: yes Recommend: yes
