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

This resin shipped quickly but when I received it, the bottle was slightly open and resin leached into the cardboard retail carton. The most disappointing part of this resin was how much it darkened during UV cure. Some reviewers noted slight yellowing but my prints went well past that to brown/orange. My intent was to shine color LED light through the resin so its not unusable but the product is far from the white/clear frosted resin that I was expecting. The settings were a bit different from other resins I have been using but once I tweaked to the settings found in the other reviews, I had little issue getting prints to turn out.

First off, the gray resin in my opinion is the best at showing details on unpainted models or prints. :) The odor on this resin is extremely tame. I had worked in a paint store for 5 years and had been exposed to all kinds of industrial grade enamels, solvents, etc. This stuff isnt even as stinky as opening up a normal gallon of paint. High points there. I have it in my computer room where I prefer to reside for long hours, and have never been bothered by the odor, especially when the cover is on the printer. No smell. As for quality, Im kind of blown away. I had printed a miniature for D&D, and didnt check the scale of the model. Base was supposed to be about the size of a quarter, but the overall height was less than a quarters diameter. Despite the ridiculous tiny-ness of the model, details are still sharp and the stuff still holds together! He has a sword about as thin as a credit cards thickness and is still standing, even through snipping supports, swirling in the IPA bath, handling with no extreme precaution, etc. The price is extremely fair, in my opinion. You can buy approximately the same amount of material for FDM printing (1 spool) for about the same price, and FDM is known as the cheaper of the 3D printing technologies. 500g turns out to be a little less than half a liter, which has gotten me about a dozen D&D minis, as well as a 6-inch tall statue, with about a third of the bottle still left. Overall highly recommend. I will probably be buying the 1000g size next.

My go to resin for AnyCubic Photon Zero

I now use the 2.0, but this resin never steered me wrong.

Prints clean and precisely. After curing it is very sandable and durable. Remove supports with appropriate snips, does not break away cleanly (probably due to abs like strength). Picture is of a shift knob I designed for my BMW X3. The shift knob is push fit. Printed on a photon zero without issues.

Great results!, just dont forget to adjust your settings, they are different than the non-transparent one.

Does as advertised

Adhered fine, They were translucent while printing but basically turned orange the moment uv light hit it. Going to keep trying but very let down over it not being remotely clear.

What chemicals are involved here? What is the protocol for cleanup and disposal? Should not be available in the United States without the appropriate safety information.

Elegoo resin works amazing. The print quality cant be beat. I have printed in Gray and transparent and both capture the details amazingly. Highly recommended
