Review on NOVA3D 3D Printer Resin 405Nm LCD Rapid Resin Standard Photopolymer Resin For LCD 3D Printing Black 500Ml by Robert Howell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High resolution, medium cure time, long lasting resin

This is one of my favorite resins I have ever tried. It's on the thinner side, which usually allows for thinner supports (which is a very good thing). It is somewhat flexible, which provides greater durability and reduced risk of model breakage when removed from the work platform. Depending on the post-cure time, the model can either become quite stiff or retain its flexibility while losing its residual tack (which is minimal even without post-cure). I've found that the resin turns yellow when overcured. Printed on Anycubic Photon S. Photon users will experience longer curing times as the light source has less power. I've found that my times tend to be 66-75% faster than Photon's published times, so just multiply my times by 1.33 or 1.25 to get a decent baseline if you have this model. Settings: Z Resolution: 0.050mm Normal Exposure: 8.0sec Off Time: 2.0sec Underlayers: 6 Underside Exposure: 45.0sec Z Lift/Retract Speed: 3.0/3.0mm/sec Post cure for 2-4 minutes with 60w UV lamp.

Pros
  • Excellent stability
Cons
  • Not sure
