Review on ESUN ABS Photopolymer Printing Materials with Advanced ABS Properties by Andrew Dickens

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Excellent material, unfortunately it breaks when exposed to moisture.

Absolutely fantastic resin. Prints very firmly and quickly (3 sec. exposure for 50 µm layer on Phrozen Mini 4k). Starch is much better than cheap stuff. I even tried making a screwdriver bit, it failed as expected, but it's fun to push the limits. A very nice color too. It is very easy to print with nFEP film. The first time the default assist size "light" was used in Cheatbox and SFSG.EDIT (3 months later) changed from 5⭐ to 3⭐. I used this resin to print some slow water spikes to attach to water bottles. The object is used in a planter box and underground, so it is exposed to moisture from the soil and the water it transports. After using it for a couple of weeks, I unscrewed it from my water bottle and it just fell apart. Also, part of the tip became flexible like soft noodles. I would like this question to be clarified. I would still buy it, but I wouldn't spend a tad on inappropriate causes. It's still a good strong resin that prints easily. It's also a little difficult to rework and usually remains tacky despite a long cure or thorough wash. Good luck and happy printing.

Pros
  • High precision and low shrinkage
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
