Amazing resin, affordable price

So I took some time to test this resin in different print sizes and details to get a good idea how it works. This resin was recently released by Rich-Opto. I tried their regular Clear Green and their regular Clear Blue. Both were incredible. I left my settings the same as for the transparent blue resin. Great hold on my flexible magnetic build plate. I'm using Anycubic Photon Mono X. The only settings I changed from stock are that I increased the layer time from 1.5 to 2 seconds and changed the bottom layer from 40 to 50 seconds. Otherwise all standard settings for speed and lift height. This resin is amazing. It's cheaper than most other ABS-like resins. The finish is nice and smooth after throwing it through the wash and cure station. The supports pop out a bit and leave ripples when removed, but I was just impatient and ripped them all off instead of cutting them off. Since their pure green color is almost indistinguishable from any cubic transparent green, I haven't tried any others. ABS like resins but I think this one will work too. to be more durable if you need such things in your prints. I still can't say your prints will be indestructible, but I think they will be slightly stronger with this resin than with standard resin. Tank for a while, you probably shouldn't leave it alone and pour it back into the bottle. As for the clear resins, I left them in the bath for a couple of weeks and then just agitated them a bit before starting a new print. With that I left it in the vat for a while and when I removed the lid it came off badly. It took a lot of effort to mix it back into the vat. I recommend putting it back in the bottle so you can shake it well. Overall I am very happy with the result of using this resin. A little skeptical when there were no reviews but I understood they had just released this variant of their resin. Since I've had so much luck with their regular resins, it wasn't hard to give this one a shot. The results were great. High level of detail, easy removal of support structure, excellent finish after washing and curing. There should still be a primer on top of the paint, it took several coats to evenly cover.
