ANYCUBIC 3D Printer Resin, 405nm UV Plant-Based Rapid Resin, Low Odor, Photopolymer Resin for LCD 3D Printing,1kg Grey

My wife and I just got our 3D printer in October for making sewing jigs and gaming pieces. We deliberately bought a bottle of regular resin first, so that we would know the difference when we moved to low odor resin. We made that switch a couple weeks ago and...we cant tell the difference. Ive cleaned the vat, made sure there are no spills anywhere, there should be no source of the previous resin smell. But when I go into the room with the printer, it smells exactly the same as before. Its a thick, oily smell that coats the back of your throat and follows you out of the room. As for print quality, thats also the same as the regular resin. Details are crisp, lines are smooth. I did have a few problems early on, because I didnt adjust my settings to accommodate the new resin. This product says you dont need to, but dont be fooled, you have to adjust for ANY new bottle of resin, even if its the same stuff you were just using. Thats just a fact of printing, and I didnt knock any stars off for that, just for the lack of any benefit vs regular resin. If it had cost more, I wouldve taken another star away, but getting the same amount of smell for the same cost is still worth 4 stars.

Ive been 3d printing for years, and since I started using this stuff, Ive had almost no print fails and they come out looking fantastic. No more bad looking dnd minis for me

If you purchase this resin, make sure you have a very good ventilation system in place or lots of windows you can open. My Mono X and Mono SE are in a self-contained heated compartment complete with ventilation and dedicated air purifying system. And yet the smell permeated the house and made further printing impossible. It also brought on an amazing headache that went away once the vat was emptied, cleaned up and the used resin poured into a sealed container. Though the print quality is very good, I will not be using it anymore.

I print minis.

We ar so happy with this Organic Resin. It dries clear and is fluorescent under a black light.

Paid for a full 500g of resin, received maybe half that. Ordered a bottle of transparent resin. Received it the other day, tried to use it today. Went to pour the resin into the vat, (carefully as always) had to tip farther than usual, thought maybe it was thicker than other resins. Nope, the bottle started to pour just fine and when the bottle was empty the vat wasnt at the max fill line. I have a small machine with a max capacity of 260ml, meaning there was less than 260ml of resin in the bottle. I understand that weight and volume are not the same measurement. I poured the resin back into the bottle and weighed them. The bottle AND resin combined only weighed 328g. I dont know what an empty bottle weighs, but it isnt zero, and there certainly wasnt more than a few grams of resin loss from pouring it into the vat (100% will of course never pour back out as it clings to surfaces), but even if there was 10% loss, the bottle and resin combined should have weighed at least 500g. 500 and 328 are quite a bit different. I would be wary of which seller you purchase from, or purchase from Anycubics website directly, or risk getting screwed.

I like this eco resin better than their standard offering due to the smell. After curing, this resin is a little more flexible, so should be more durable.

No where in any documentation on the store page or the instruction manual does this device detail how toxic and dangerous 3D printing can be. It can cause cancer, illness, and other issues. Do not recommend.

I am currently printing a base, at 50%. Print is on plate and there is little to no odor coming from the resin. I will be purchasing more.

Recently I switched over to Eco UV Resin as I wanted to be a good citizen of the planet, and thought that moving to a plant-based product that is water-soluble was the right thing to do. I’m on my third Kg container of this product, and I’m beginning to have my doubts, but perhaps I should back up. In March I installed my Elegoo Mars 2P 3D resin printer, and have consumed at least 10kg or more of standard resin in at least four colors, so I’m not your typical noob anymore. Back then I also picked up an Elegoo Mercury Plus wash station, and typically wash 20-40 prints per gallon of 97% alcohol. Sure the alcohol becomes discolored after a few washes, but I don’t switch colors much and the prints are always clean, smooth, and free of any residual resin after washing. In fact, the rapid resin stays in suspension in the alcohol between print jobs, sometimes a week or more without ever settling out. Some suggest that you cure suspended rapid resin in the wash tank by leaving it out in the sun for a bit, then filter it. Recently, I started using translucent clear plant-based ECO resin, and the experience is considerably different. When I finish printing with translucent clear ECO resin, I put the build plate with all my printed parts into a tank of soapy water and run the wash station for twenty minutes. With standard rapid resin, six minutes is typically enough. The build plate is then removed, parts are separated from it then scrubbed to remove any trapped resin the wash station missed. Next, the supports are snapped off. One further scrub, some light sanding, and another rinse then on to curing. Seriously, I’m probably consuming a few gallons of water per print, and wash my hands several times thoroughly throughout the process, no I don’t wear gloves, and this has never been a problem for me as I’m extremely careful. After I’m done, I then need to wash and scrub out the wash tank and build plate. This is far more labor-intensive than alcohol-soluble rapid-resin. Unless I receive some amazing feedback this review, I’ll likely return to rapid-resin after this new container is consumed, perhaps sooner if holiday gifts drive me to use other colors.
