Great resin! in additive manufacturing products

This resin is amazing! It does have some downsides, but they seem like a compromise for the features you might need. Because of this, it can lack detail, not-so-sharp corners may print without supports (30% or less can look pretty bad), the base and unsupported areas may be warped or slightly melted. While it's really not very noticeable with the right settings, and while it's a bit bumpy, it has a glossier finish than most. So make sure you have enough supports and possibly thicken them up. For this reason, I do not deduct points for these compromises. This resin is more flexible than abs, much like nylon 230 for those you know, or the translucent plastic used in water jugs. It's very strong and durable but it will break, I bent the 2mm strip in half before it broke. It also seems great for mixing, I made a 50/50 mix with this and the standard Elegoo resin and this might be my new favorite. It was similar to the plastic used in beverage bottle caps, it was stiffer than before but still very durable, it also looked very good and was easier to type on. Pros: Strong, durable and flexible. Very high impact resistance. Great for mixing. a little hard to type. There was approximately 0.1 mm overgrowth in XY dimensions. Notes: Settings I used for Elegoo Mars. layer height 0.05. Exposure time 9 sec. As an example of durability I made various 3/8 centrifugal cartridges with 1mm wall thickness, 2mm wall thickness and solids. I was able to shoot them all (although I only shot them once) with full power and point-blank range without collapsing.
