Review on 1KG White Hard Resin For LCD 3D Printers By EPAX - Optimized For High-Quality Prints by Tom Reasons

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not my preferred, pigment separates quickly

I have an Epax X1-K mono screen printer. I previously only used Siraya Tech Fast Grey (STFG) or other Siraya Tech Blu & Clear.This resin work well and does print fine details however I will be sticking with STFG. The Epax Hard is significantly darker grey and the pigments separate quickly just sitting in the vat even just for 20-30 min. I a kwsys stir my vat btw prints to check for any failed print bits that will affect my next print. With the Epax stirring reveals the pigment settles to the bottom and it takes going over it repeatedly to get it off the bottom and remixed. You can see these areas in my attached video. Once you do this the prints are fine but I have also had more minor tiny failures with this Epax resin than the same object printed with STFG. I precisely dial in my exposure setting for every resin I use. Any resin with pigments can separate which is why you need to thoroughly shake the bottles and stir the vat per the manufacturers recommendations but I have never had this same issue with visible clumps forming on the bottom of the vat with STFG. Maybe I got a bad batch of Epax but will not use again.
