Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ SainSmart IPA-Free UV Curing Printers with Washable Surface by Kyle Kriglstein

Odor! Suitable for 3D printing Consumables

Before trying this material, I used Elegoo water-washable resin, which is a bit cheaper. I decided to give it a try, mainly because Elegoo plastic bottles keep breaking on me. cap in particular. Even if I shake it, the resin gets caught in the threads and drips into the bottle if not cleaned. So what does the premium price of the Sainsmart version get you? Well, the aluminum floor of course. But wait, this bottle also has a cork under the cap to seal the resin! Okay, maybe nobody cares but me. The other big difference, however, is the smell. Elegoo has a distinct smell. Not very annoying but noticeable when typing, even with the filter on the exhaust fan. beingsmart? no Odor. Nott. Is it worth the extra cost? Maybe not decided for me yet. In terms of pressure, both brands are about the same. Very little difference in exposure time on my system (Photon). The print quality is no different between the two I see. Cured at the same time, sanded at the same time, etc.

Pros
  • 3D printing liquid
Cons
  • Damaged
