ELEGOO ABS-Like 2.0 3D Printer Resin 1kg Grey, Rapid Precise Printing Resin 405nm LCD UV-Curing for LCD 3D Printer

The clear blue resin has become my new go to resin for everything. Strong, low odor and it looks so dang cool on the build plate that Ive found more and more excuses to make clear things.

Ive tried about a dozen different resins and this one really is the gold standard. It is priced well, has great mechanical properties (flex, detail, etc), prints great, and cleans really well with just a soak in 90% IPA. I really like the grey -- it is a great color to see the detail and it is easy to make out what is what on the build plate. For settings, I do 2.6s on a Mars 2 Pro and that has worked flawlessly. Attached is a photo of how well it holds detail (primed).

Still horrible support removal ease; but much better than their standard resin, which is garbage. Fairly durable, but extremely water absorbent, which leads to warping.

So I got the clear resin……. This stuff is hot garbage. Maybe I got a bad batch or something. I noticed there wasn’t very many reviews on it so maybe not enough people have used it. And I’m printing on the Mars 3, Elegoos own brand of printer, so this should be formulated to work great with their printer, right? Wrong. Anyway…… I started out not being able to get good quality prints, I mean it was bad. They were either completely failing, supports would stop printing or not print at all, or I was getting waves of globs of resin randomly in my print. Almost like it was running down the part and extra UV light was curing it as it dripped down. So I assumed I had an exposure time issue. So I set up the Resin Exposure XP2 Validation Matrix test print to figure out the correct exposure settings. Elegoo calls for around 12s of exposure. I set up validation matrix test prints from 6s all the way to 15s……. 6, 7, and 8 seconds didn’t look too bad, and 9-15s actually looked pretty darn good. I determined 12-15s was best. So I printed models I have printed great before within these exposure ranges multiple times, I was starting to get actual full prints off the print bed, but was still getting the globs of cured resin, and any fine detailed areas, and areas with supports close together were just becoming globs themselves. Needless to say, I went through an entire bottle and days wasted trying to get this stuff right. $38 in resin gone with nothing to show for it, except garbage. I switched to Anycubic’s clear resin, all prints came out perfectly. I won’t be buying this stuff again.

Prints well and shows good detail on the models.

I keep picking elegoo ABS-like for my toy printing needs. It has a nice spring to the final print that keeps them from breaking too easily. For example, a sword on a DnD mini printed with this resin (on a Mars2Pro) can bend about 15-20 degrees before snapping, as compared to some more rigid resins. Cleanup is easy with IPA. Smell is moderate. This resin is compatible with alcohol resin inks, although with the white resin it takes a LOT of dye (20-30 drops) to achieve even a pale pastel color, so for coloring one might consider a pre-tinted resin as a base. For stronger toy prints, consider mixing with 20% siraya tech blu or tenacious to lend rigidity or flexibility to the final print - these resins mix nicely! Shipped quickly and securely. Will happily buy again!

Love this resin!! It has good detail and strength and looks fantastic!!

Would have loved to print with it but most of it was in the bag because it wasnt sealed correctly when manufactured. Im extremely disappointed. On the phone with amazon to see what we can do about it.

I use this and mix it with regular resin to strengthen up my prints. The stuff is strong yet not brittle like normal resin.

This product works great if you are looking for a flexible resin! However I needed a tough, strong hard resin as advertised. I tried curing the print for over an hour in my cure booth and it’s still as flexible at a wet noodle. Great product just not what I needed for my project. Fix your advertising.
