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

Never worked for me

I really enjoyed this resin. I knew it wasnt going to be like clear glass but it definitely had a frosted glass appearance to it. Just make sure you follow the directions for exposure time and it should be just fine for you

I used this resin with the SparkMaker printer. So far Ive used just white, but also have clear and grey and will update if those behave differently. The ocarina print was with a 70s first layer and 12s layers. The chess pieces were printed with a 70s first layer and 8s layers. Both were fantastic. The blue in the ocarina is the white mixed with blue dye and then dropped on to the printed ocarina and cured using a gel polish uv light for 30s. This is great resin. It has a bit of an odor, but that it part for the course with uv resins. Translucent works great too!

Great quality. As advertised.

the color is great, other than that its the same as any resin the ABS LIKE makes no difference

Very good resin, no problems at all in my Elegoo Mars

Ive used the translucent red and Smokey black and I have to say the red prints perfect out of the bottle however with the black I get a lot of floating boogers and have to clean the vat in-between each and every print or ill have a higher failure rate for the next print. I think I know where the boogers are coming from and the resin isnt the culprit at this time.

This resin has been very difficult to use and there is not a lot of support for print settings and post cure processes. If your a beginner, I would suggest getting a resin that is not translucent. After some reasearch and talking with colleges, I have found that the clear resins tend to have some special characteristics: - The UV light will bleed through while printing, causing the prints to have additional half cured drippy surface. I have found that this can be taken off between wash and cure, but it is a tedious extra step. This gets better with slower lift speed (I use 60mm/s) - The cure time (for me) of this resin is 9s (elegoo Saturn s [monochrome]). This is much longer than what is documented on the website. - The viscosity of this resin is very high. It is advertised to print best at 20-25c, but my reasearch has told me these structural resins print better at 30c. I will be trying this soon. Edit: printing at higher temperatures helps a lot. It lowered my cure time and allowed me to use a faster retract speed.

It prints wonderfully and for the most part I didnt have any problems, but it does tend to leave some of the resin stuck on the models that didnt come off even with an isopropyl bath. I have yet to figure out a good way to solve this and it has led to the unfortunate situation of my dogs hair getting stuck to my figures.

Great stuff
