Review on ๐Ÿ”ด ELEGOO ABS-Like 3D Printer Resin - LCD UV-Curing Photopolymer Resin 405nm, CLEAR RED, 1000G by David Butterfield

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reluctant excellent rating. let me explain.

This is a reluctant review because I don't want anyone to know how good this stuff is for the price. Every time I find a great resin, the price skyrockets. I've consistently printed on my Anycubic Photon with layer thickness settings of 0.05, 11 second exposure, 1 second pause, 5 bottom layers in 95 seconds. I had no dips through the whole bottle. I saw in one of the reviews that someone mentioned it being liquid. Well it is. In my experience, fluidity means easier cleaning of the model and less resin debris sticking to the model and build plate. Sticky resin is difficult to remove. I typically rinse the finished model in hot water to remove the liquid resin, and then rinse with 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol. With sticky resin I have to do this more than once. Not with this product. The cleaning process consists of rinsing a little under hot tap, rinsing in alcohol, then rinsing with alcohol, drying with a paper towel, and then holding under a UV nail oven for a few minutes. Ready. If ELEGOO reads this, please feel free to send me swatches of different colors so I can try them out for you. I usually only use gray because I paint my models, but I'd love to try other colors and write some reviews. Many Thanks.
