Review on πŸ”΅ RICH-OPTO 3D Printer Resin: High Precision UV-Curing Photopolymer for LCD 3D Printing - Blue 1000G by Zach Flores

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing resin! best consumables for 3D printing

For reference, I have an Anycubic Photon Mono X with a flexible build plate. I changed the default printer settings from 1.5 seconds per shift to 2 seconds per shift with a one second pause and 7mm stroke. These settings resulted in super sharp and clear models. I had some issues with the first bottle, I contacted customer service and they sorted everything out for me with super fast response times. I'm a bit of a night owl and wanted to play email tags with them for a few days but that didn't happen. Despite back and forth everything was done in an hour. Like most clear resins, it becomes slightly cloudy after washing. I found that spraying with an air hose after the print came out (in a closed box) removed the excess resin without clouding the IPA. The water model and the navy were not washed, just pickled. They came out very clear. Lots of detail in the mechanisms and mechanics of the costume. I washed the bench and label in Anycubic Wash and Curve and the results are a lighter but more opaque blue. So if you want a lighter and less pure blue, wash it first and then cure it. However, if you want ultra-clear prints, simply spray off excess resin with an air compressor or air can. Just make sure the print is covered a bit so you don't spray uncured resin all over the place. Overall this resin is fantastic. It is not inferior to more expensive resins. I admit it was the price that made me buy it. I also bought a clear green Anycubic. This resin works just as well for almost $10 less per kg. I will continue to buy this brand. I'm also currently testing their ABS-like resin. So far, this brand seems to be at the top. Love it!

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No power
