Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Yousu LCD Resin 3D Printer by Tutcht Cobb

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Prints well but clarity isn't perfect

I bought this on a lightning deal. I'm new to SLA printers and have an Anycubic Photon Mono SE. So far I've only had experience with Elegoo and Anycubic resin, so keep that in mind. Printing with this resin was an easy task. I didn't change any of the slicer settings I used with the Mono SE and the first 3 prints came out perfect. Problems arose when I wanted to clean/treat the print. I usually do a quick IPA bath, rinse, dry in my UV box for a minute and I'm ready to paint. But this resin required a much more aggressive bath to remove the most obvious resin stains from it and 6 minutes of curing to get rid of MOST of the tack (not ideal). Big difference to Elegoo material. The next step was painting, and that too was far from outstanding. The paint didn't want to stick at all. I ended up having to use a matte white spray primer to leave something other brands don't require. Will i buy it again? Maybe, depending on the purpose. But I don't think I'll try thumbnails any time soon. The extra work required to get a good starting point for painting wasn't worth the savings.
