Review on PHROZEN Aqua Gray: Unbreakable UV Curing Photopolymer for Resilient Prints by Peter Sullivan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I call it Sex on the Beach Green

Did that catch your eye? Well! uncomfortable pieces of some vitality. For comparison - Aqua Gray 4K has an elongation of 7% and while not particularly durable, it gets the job done. - Siraya's Tenacious Flex Resin requires 50% elongation. To be honest I'm not sure how elongation is measured but I do know that diluting Siraya 50/50 with standard resin still gives long lasting results so maybe 21% would be fine too. The settings for this print were: [PHOTON MONO X] Power 80% (Default) Antialias 8Gray/Blur 0Layer Height 30umLift Speed 80mm/min. Retraction speed 200 mm/min. Processing time lower layer 30 s (5 layers) Normal shift time 0.8 s. This is not a typo, 0.8 s per layer! It prints as fast as Aqua Gray 4K. I can do 0.7s too, so maybe you can too, depending on your setup. In my rough test, I simply flexed the lekku ("head-tail") shown until they broke, and Aqua Green definitely flexes more than Aqua Gray. 4K It doesn't really matter which resin you use for a static object like a head, but the extra flexibility comes in handy when printing thinner things like thin weapons or character armor to prevent accidental tearing or breaking during attachment. them in shape. Considering that it costs about the same as resins like ABS, is about 6-3 times more flexible, prints much faster, and has great colors, I would recommend it for general printing. However, I sell resin prints for figures (heads, bags, weapons, etc.) and customers prefer grey/black/white over everything else. They generally don't like such bright colors because if the paint ever scrapes off the item the bright green resin underneath will be very noticeable.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good
