Good prints that don't warp too much

This is my first experience with ABS-like resins and I'm very impressed so far. After calibrating with Anycubic's RERF file, I started printing my regular materials. I don't print a lot of bells and whistles and had a big learning curve with resin printers (from FDM). My recent stress test was a long, flat piece that I printed out. It should be perfectly flat even though it's almost 9 inches long. This ABS is truly the flattest and least deformable polymer I have ever used. To be clear, it *really* still deforms a bit. Get some of that by using more inside backs and maybe adjusting just a little more backs. The color is nice and even and the pigments blend well and stay mixed well over 10 hours of printing. resin smell. It still stinks a bit. especially when they are freshly printed. But after two weeks of waiting, the finished prints don't stink at all. They retain a nice combination of stiffness but not stiffness. The bottle arrived with no leaks but after one use, the cap was cracked at the top and has a slight warp. It is strange. I need to find a way to store resin in another bottle. Taking off a star because everything still works. You decide. Final Verdict: Very suitable for resin. Easy to print and consistent. 1/2 star deducted for B Rockin Cap. I've bought a lot of resin but this has never happened so I'm willing to assume this is an anomaly.

Pros
  • Broad applicability
Cons
  • No automatic printing
