Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ IForm LCD 3D Printer Resin: Next-Level Additive Manufacturing Products by Patrick Burns

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Prints well but cleaning not perfect

I bought this on a lightning deal. I'm new to SLA printers and have an Anycubic Photon Mono SE. So far I've only had experience with Elegoo and Anycubic resin, so keep that in mind. Printing with this resin was an easy task. I didn't change any of the slicer settings I used with the Mono SE and the first 3 prints came out perfect. Problems arose when I wanted to clean/treat the print. I usually do a quick IPA bath, rinse, dry in my UV box for a minute and I'm ready to paint. But this resin required a much more aggressive bath to remove the most obvious resin stains from it and 6 minutes of curing to get rid of MOST of the tack (not ideal). Big difference to Elegoo material. The next step was painting, and that too was far from outstanding. The paint didn't want to stick at all. I ended up having to apply a matte white primer as a spray to leave something that other brands didn't require. Will i buy it again? Maybe, depending on the purpose. But I don't think I'll try thumbnails any time soon. The extra work required to get a good starting point for painting wasn't worth the savings.
