Review on EPAX Printers: Versatile and Efficient General Purpose Printers by Tom Beland

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fast curing, low odor, great detail

This is fast becoming one of my favorite resins for quick general use. As a professional miniaturist, I have used this resin to print coasters for large models as well as small miniatures for personal use. The detail is excellent even on an old Elegoo Mars printer and I am pleasantly surprised by the durability, smell and curing time of this resin. It's the fastest drying resin I've personally used, but it didn't result in a noticeable reduction in durability. After fully drying it looks very plastic which makes me confident that some parts won't break by hand. It's also the least smelly tar I've ever used, which is a big concern when family members are concerned about the smell of tar coming from a study. Tolerances between parts are very important to my use, as is part shrinkage. As far as I can tell, this resin hasn't had any issues with adjustment or overall shrinkage. Tolerance between parts made with a different EPAX resin was top notch as can be seen in the above image of the kite (printed in EPAX Hard Gray) - it fits perfectly into the recesses on the base printed with General Purpose Rapid resin was printed. I will definitely be ordering more of these for personal and professional use.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
