Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ High-Quality ELEGOO Water Washable 3D Printer Resin - Standard Photopolymer Resin 500Gram Black by Jesus Baker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Resin is easy to handle, not easy to use

My experience with this resin is quite mixed. I still gave it 4 stars because I'm absolutely certain I wouldn't have encountered the problems Iran has had the kinks or intended use been better advertised. That being said, the good are: Low odor Easy to clean Nice color Default cure settings Bad: Very brittle/weak - I used the Photon S test object which is a lattice cube and halfway through the pressure it cracked at the base due to to enforce liability. Again, FEP film was used in the tub as I haven't been able to use PET before. The brittleness of the material after curing or during the printing process makes the cost prohibitive for users who want 100% successful printing with little effort. Cost, or "experiment" with the settings. This also causes all standard prints to take longer (when the solution is to simply increase the curing time from 12 seconds versus 8 seconds). That being said, a well printed end product is beautiful and ideal for solid prints that are not thin or fragile like busts, details, hard miniatures, etc. It is not ideal for lattice designs or too thin. structures, so it would be ideal for supports. I suppose after writing this that sounds like a 5 star rating, but for the cost and genuine apps that can really customize, it's not *quite* a 5 star rating. If it wasn't for the brittleness issues I would give 5 stars, no further complaints!

Pros
  • Works great for me
