Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ LAFVIN Printer: Advanced Photopolymer Printing Technology for High-Quality Results by Ahmed Rowe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High quality resin - I highly recommend this resin - it works perfectly

First of all this resin is very well packaged. The bottle was wrapped in airtight plastic and placed in bubble wrap and then placed in a carton. The bottle itself is a standard, light-tight plastic bottle with a screw cap. This type of bottle is convenient as it is easy to pour and fill with a funnel/filter and is easy to clean with a quick wipe with a paper towel. The resin itself was a bit more viscous than other resins I've used. but it seemed neither negative nor positive, just something to consider. I used resin in my Anycubic Photon and printed out some files I used before and some new ones. I went with the factory settings and used Photon Workshop to cut the files. The resin worked flawlessly and the prints adhered very well to the print bed. I had no problems at all with the resin sticking to the FEP. I actually think this resin was better than the factory resin that came with my printer! The excess resin left on the print after printing was very slight and was easily washed off with a quick isopropyl bath. I dried prints for different times at my drying station. I scanned small prints in 6 minutes and large numbers in 8 minutes. You will notice that the white resin will yellow slightly when air cured, which is a natural by-product of curing in an oxygen rich environment. You can solve this by curing in a water bath (which contains a lot less oxygen than air) if you need to make sure the resin doesn't turn yellow. After curing, I asked my son to paint the models (he is 5 years old) with Testor's Pollyscale Paint (this is my favorite color, unfortunately no longer available since 2013, currently in stock). The color can also be applied very well without a primer. My son has been playing with the characters he has drawn for three days, so you can be sure that the LAFVIN resin will absorb and hold the color. Resin brand or can't find your standard, go to the brand, this option can also be a good choice for you. I highly recommend LAFVIN resin.
