Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Unlock Precision Printing with HATCHBOX 3D Printer Resin Additive Manufacturing Products by Cornelius Mosley

Reliable printing resin with little flexibility

I've been using Hatchbox filament in my FDM printer for years with good results so decided to give this a try, their foray into resin. Flexibility, which is actually good for small, highly detailed models - this is probably to prevent small parts from breaking. and yellower). Printed on the Phrozen Sonic Mighty 4K, the resin was able to reproduce my test model (you can tell) accurately and flawlessly on the first try. BTW this test model is about 1/2 inch and I print it in batches of 36 to check for flaws in a specific part. This resin gives 100% complete models with no errors. Removal was easier than some other resins. I've tried fairly light scraping with a spatula and moderate tapping. What was nice to see was that the main pieces (tiny little fingers) didn't chip or stick to the base (I did this on purpose to test bed adhesion versus tensile strength). I was able to bend the ears of little groghu without breaking them, which I couldn't do with my other resin tests. For reference here are the machine settings - layer height 0.030mm - 6 bottom layers - exposure time 2.5s - bottom exposure time 15s - 6 transition layers - light off delay 7s - light off delay 9s - stroke speed 50mm/min All photos are taken after the following post-curing process - Soaking in 91% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) - 5 minutes ultrasonic bath in water with a drop of detergent - 7 minutes e UV curing on a rotating SunLu curing platform (9 models per curing batch). I'll probably buy this resin again (full disclosure, I got the first bottle in exchange for this review) as I've been mixing blue and green resin lately. to get that particular color. I hope you find this review helpful - if so please let me know.

Pros
  • FDM VS. RESIN: While thermoplastic filament is used in many applications, resin is growing in popularity due to its performance characteristics. With every print, you'll enjoy a level of detail that filament simply can't match, as well as a tensile strength (46 MPa) that makes it durable.
Cons
  • New Competitors Arrive
