Review on πŸ”§ Curing Resin for Non Brittle ABS Like 3D Printing by Chris Horton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unbelievable! - 3D Printing Fluid

Updated after I received a bad bottle. It was replaced for free and I've since bought a pair with no leaks. AMAZING!*** Well, this resin was recommended by the source, so I went with it. I painted many miniatures for him that were printed with this resin and I really liked how they came out. So I ordered a bottle and it's a fantastic resin. My issue is that when I ordered the second bottle it arrived with a broken seal and most of the contents ended up in the product packaging. What? A mess. I am not going to bomb this product with a 1 star rating because the resin is really awesome if you are willing to flip a coin when you get some lol. It's also worthless that the caps on the bottles were different, so I think I may have gotten a bottle with a new cap design (you can find many other reviews here that they also have holey bottles) and a bottle. with old cover design. The only sealed bottle I received arrived safe and sound and in perfect condition, filled to the brim with that sweet sweet gray wizard juice. Overall I would say my experience was unique and Revain will happily refund my money or exchange the resin. free for me. TL; DR - Fantastic resin, poor packaging on old bottles causing leaks but new bottle caps keep everything intact just hoping you get a good bottle. :) A few tips and tricks for resin newbies: Use denatured alcohol instead of isopropyl alcohol. IPAs are almost impossible to find right now, and you're limited in the amount you can buy due to COVID-19. Denatured works just as well (maybe even a little better), it costs a little more volume, but I haven't clouded it as much as when I tried cleaning my prints with IPA, leading me to believe a little denatured alcohol is going on. a long way compared to IPA. With this resin I really had to UV cure for about 5 minutes on most miniatures I printed, if longer and it started to get brittle. In a test where I exposed the resin to direct UV radiation for 18 hours, there was no color change.
