Review on Enhance Your Printing Experience with the DR 3D Acrylic Transparent Printer by James Townsend

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Prints very well with a slight blue cast

I have no complaints about the print quality achieved with Dr.3D resin on the Nova3D Elfin 3 Mini "Mono” printer. The details are excellent and the print is as clear as an ice cube. However, it has a slight bluish tint, which I found odd. but may be desirable in some prints. The attached photo shows prints made with three different resins. On the left is 3DMaterials SuperPP, in the middle is Dr.3D Clear and on the right is Nova3D High Transparency. You can see that the 3DMaterials resin is slightly yellowed (very common with clear resins) and has a slightly hazy appearance. Both Dr.3D and Nova3D are very transparent, but Nova3D remained transparent for two months when placed in the south window and had no tint at all. Dr.3D turned noticeably blue right out of the printer. As for durability, it's hard to say, but it doesn't seem fragile at all.

Pros
  • Low shrinkage and high accuracy
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
