Review on ELEGOO Washable UV Curing Photopolymer 3D Printing Supplies by Aaron Parish

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Problems after curing: 3D printing liquid

I've been using Elegoo for many years and haven't had any problems. I've recently switched to water washing and I have a few environmental issues that I'm trying to fix by finding ways to harden and strain/filter the resin in the post-cure steps. I do worry about the quality though: if left under UV cure for too long it tends to warp quickly and even before full post-curing occurs. (Larger parts usually take a little longer to cure in the post-cure process). Honestly I would advise the average hobbyist not to use this product as any uncured resin, washed off or improperly disposed of, seriously harms the environment and the particles are so small and finite that there is no guarantee that sewage treatment plants can capture them and/or they even make it to the sewage treatment plant before getting out into the raw outdoors. as expected from Elegoo, except for the post-treatment deformation.

Pros
  • 3D printing liquid
Cons
  • Sparse instructions
