ELEGOO ABS-Like 3D Printer Resin LCD UV-Curing Resin 405nm Standard Photopolymer Resin for LCD 3D Printing Grey 1000g

Ive had two experiences with this product. I bought a couple of bottles that printed really well. But recently they changed the formula or something because for the life of me I cant get it to print. At first I thought it was me. But I have a black light I use to help harden after a print. I put what I had under there and instead of a slight glow like with previous bottles, this stuff lights up like a flashligt. So something in the formula is off. Buy if you want, just know it might not work out.

I just got it with the mars 2 and while it is printing really well about 80% of the time, every now and again the print will not stick to the bed of the printer and pops off onto the fep on the bottom. It can get extremely detailed prints and overall I am very happy about it. BEST AND (PROBABLY) CHEAPEST WASHIBG METHOD: 1) go to your local hardware store and get 1 gal of simple green for $10 2) mix 3 parts simple green to 2 parts water in whatever container you use to clean your prints. 3) wash your print Optional step 3.5) squirt a few spirits of IPA over the plate to remove excess resin, and also onto the potentially harder to reach areas of the print, not necessary for all prints, but could help with the more complex ones. 4) rinse thoroughly with warm water 5) remove the supports and cure for 10min under your uv lamp or whatever you use.

I’ve used this resin along with the Elegoo Mars printer and the results are amazing! Makes extremely detailed and quality prints. The resin is great to work with and a little goes a long way! I’ve printed over 100 DnD mini figures and I’m still on my first bottle of resin.

I used the ABS like red and it is much less rigid and brittle than standard resin. It performs more like a rigid TPU than abs. I tested the heat resistance and the hotter it gets the more brittle it becomes breaking at very low stress around 160 degrees C but once the part cools off it retains it original strength. Up to about 100 degrees C you won’t notice the effects. It can take quite a bit of strain before breaking. I wouldn’t consider it a strong material but it holds up for moderate stress mechanical parts. Still haven’t tested its long term UV resistance but I will update if I find anything interesting.

I’m new to the resin printing, been using an fdm to make dollhouse miniature for about 3 years. This stuff is SO MUCH EASIER. prints off the elgoo Mars printer with this are so perfect. I can print so tiny and I don’t lose any details! This resin has little smell (I barely smell it but my wife says it’s had an oder after being in the room with it for a while. It prints nice. Cures nicer. Just love it. Bought 2 more when I saw it drop a couple dollars!!

I want to start this with pointing out that I have both the transparent resin and the grey resin bottles from elegoo and a bottle of anycubics grey. I havent had issue with the transparent resin, but the grey. Even after shaking the resin, its very watery, more so than the anycubic and the elegoo transparent. Ive also noticed that the grey resin starts getting white streaks in it as its printing. Ive had several failed prints with different models and after changing the resin out to the other brand I havent had issues or the white streaking.

Too thin

I just printed with the transparent abs resin for my first print on a elgoo Mars pro 2.

Great stuff Much thinner than most other resin being a huge pro for those of us living in cooler areas as thicker resin likes to gum up.

This is translucent not transparent but thats because of the striations made from printing the layers. When you first take it off the plate its perfectly see through but turns white as it drys. It will also become see through again if it becomes wet leading me to think you could make it see through by adding a coating to your prints. plastic is nice and springy and way harder to snap then standard resin.
