Review on πŸ–¨οΈ ESUN 405nm LCD 3D Printer Rapid Resin: Enhanced Biodegradable Photopolymer Resin for Photon UV Curing LCD 3D Printer by Bobby Plymell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good resin, with some problems.

First of all the resin prints well and appears to be of excellent quality. I've noticed that it actually smells WORSE than the others I've used (Anycubic, Elegoo) which aren't eco-friendly." Of course, it's all about perception. It definitely doesn't have the "lack of smell" like it does some have reported. It could also be related to the color - at the moment I'm using grey. The real problem is the bottle design which is awful. First you have to remove the insane plastic security seal that leaves sharp points/jagged edges around the bottle which perfect for ripping off protective gloves It catches and holds any drips of resin that spill out and flow for days!The plastic/rubber gasket in the screw cap doesn't come loose properly (at least I didn't). Unlike similar gaskets, stays put when retracted of the ring does not retract a hole while pulling the entire plastic and rubber seal assembly out of the bottle The pull ring itself broke b ei my first attempt to pull it out, so now I have to pry it all the way out with a scraper blade to get to the resin. Be sure to put everything back when you're done, because without them the bottle won't close at all. I made the mistake of putting the cap back on and shaking the bottle and the resin spilled out everywhere. I like the aluminum bottle itself, but the whole cap really needs an overhaul. This is dangerous and wasteful. If anyone else has this problem - one thing that really helped was cutting off the bottom of the fork with a razor blade. Not perfect, of course, but at least the bottle is usable now. (My funnel barely fits in the hole.)

Pros

Cons
