Review on 🎯 Maximize Precision and Quality with SainSmart Printer's General Photopolymer Printing Technology by Shawn Bass

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fast cure, low odor, excellent detail thanks to Mars

We have purchased both the clear and gray SainSmart resins. suitable for a dime. We loved the details of this resin so much that we ordered a 1000ml bottle when we ran out of 500ml. Clarity: This resin was pretty amazing. It cures faster than SainSmart Gray Resin and looks great. Detail on clear resins is harder to see, but that can be solved with a little paint. I am starting to use this resin for miniature transparent coasters that we have printed with opaque resins. The fact that it is transparent makes it easier to spot printing problems early on (cured resins on the plate are slightly less transparent/have a different refractive index than the liquid form so you can see them when printing). You have to be careful with the curing time, as the clear coat will start to yellow if you leave it in the UV and water bath for too long. This seems to be a common problem with transparent resins. It heals very well in natural light, but there isn't much of it at this time of year.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
