Revainrating 5 out of 5

The more I use this resin the more I like it

I think this is my first Revain review out of hundreds of purchases. I'm writing this review because the more I use this resin, the more I like it. I've been printing with resin for over 3 years, first with the Phrozen Shuffle and now with the Phrozen Sonic Mighty. I have used Monocure, Phrozen and Siraya resins. I have been using the monocure for 95% printing for a long time so I bought 2 5kg canisters. When you compare the Rich Opto resin to all the other resins I've used, this resin is on par and for the price, you can't beat this resin. 2.8 seconds for normal shifts. I use denatured alcohol to clean my prints and after 30 seconds of mixing there is almost no print left, for really detailed prints I also use a brush. I print miniatures and silicone molds, masters and details. So far I have not been disappointed with the level of detail in my Rich Opto resin prints. First I tried rich opto resin for some colors. I am very happy with black, grey, white and blue. The yellow was too pale for what I wanted, it was more of a buttery yellow and I was hoping for something closer to traffic light yellow. I may have also received a bad bottle as it failed to adhere to the baseplate after 30 seconds of base coat. In the end I settled on the yellow Eryone for almost twice the price. The transparent red was also disappointing, I was hoping for something closer to the transparent red of a traffic light, instead the transparent red is a few shades darker. In the end I settled on Dr3D red, again almost double the price. If Rich-Opto would make the colors yellow and red more opaque and traffic light colors, I would be happy. I haven't tried purple and pink yet, but I might skip purple because I want an opaque purple, but the shade looks something like this. . If Rich-Opto made a translucent base I would try to make purple, red and yellow with the 3DRS CMYKW set.
