Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great resin, great value

This resin printed perfectly on my Elegoo Mars. I've primarily used it to print 28mm minifigures from Artisan Guild and Rocket Pig Games Patreons. I only mention thumbnail sources to say that one set is very detailed and needs a few supports while the other isn't and is a bit less detailed. This is important as the resin prints equally well with either type. It also doesn't have a strong smell (it still has a hint of smell, but that's not too bad). Also, the resin cures under UV light in less time than the ABS resins I've used in the past. The only issue I had was that this resin is quite brittle once dry. One notices that all resins become brittle. Well, this one seemed a bit more fragile than the others I tried (Anycubic and Elegoo). This is not a real problem, just an observation to be aware of. Another difference of this resin was its bottle. The bottle looks like aluminum and has a drip-free spout for pouring, while most of the other resins I've worked with only come in plastic bottles with regular spouts. (This is neither good nor bad, just different). I will 100% use this resin in the future, I also bought the gray color if that matters.

Pros
  • Fast UV curing keeps printed parts stable and reduces shrinkage. This resin offers high durability and hardness of the prints.
Cons
  • small items
