Review on ๐Ÿ”† SUNLU UV Curing Standard Photopolymer: Top-grade Additive Manufacturing Solutions by Jeremy Bradford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Impressive! The footprints are strong. The bottle is neat. The first attempt worked great.

Love this brand. I bought their PLA filament for my FDM printers and wanted to try their resin on my Elegoo Mars Pro. Bottle and packaging convinced me immediately. It arrived in a plain cardboard box but the bottle was entirely air formed to avoid damage in transit. It has a tear-off seal that keeps the lid in place during transit, although it has teeth if you remove the tear-off tape. So be careful not to tear your gloves when removing the lid. There's also a stopper that seals the bottle so the resin doesn't leak out and it's reusable so you don't have to worry about it leaking out of the cap in the first place. The consistency of the resin is not as viscous as the standard Elegoos resin. just an observation. How did you print? Check out the photos! I wanted to use a lot of build space, so I printed 3 elements at once. I chose 55 seconds for the bottom layer and 8 seconds for the exposure on the layers. All of the supports I used to print the 3 Eevee printed solidly and I had no issues with them sticking to the FEP or peeling off the build plate. I immediately noticed that it was already very hard right after assembly (I was able to reduce the exposure time to 7 seconds). I removed the supports, washed them with 99% IPA, let them dry and placed them in my curing station. I dried the prints for 5 minutes on one side, then flipped them over and continued for another 5 minutes. I love this resin! Great price and it works. The prints seem to be a little stronger than the standard Elegoo I've used and I can't wait to print something heavier than Torture Test. I will continue to enter and update this as needed. So far I can't complain, it prints exactly how I wanted it to. UPDATE: I have the clear blue and it looks amazing. Increased the curing time by half a second and voila. Prints look great!
