> 24 hourGreat product. Sure beats draping a towel over my Mars 2 Pro if I want to leave the resin in the vat for a few days. It is definitely NOT over priced. With every penny. Well made. Well thought out design. Very good materials.

> 24 hourOverall, this seems to be an excellent cover. Fits the Mars Pro with some room to spare. It is made of good, thick material, and the sewing seems to be top notch. I expect it will outlast the printer. Now one simple negative. It is too expensive. Before purchasing this cover, I was using a simple paper grocery bag (the free kind that you can usually still get at Kroger) which protected just as well against incidental UV light. Unless you are printing in a sunny window or outside in the full sun, I dont think this is a necessary upgrade for the price. My printer is located in an area that receives indirect sunlight but does not receive direct sunlight. For reference, I have left resin in my vat for several days, mixed it up with a coffee stirrer, and started a print with zero problems, either with resin curing in the vat or on the build plate or with the print itself. Is it recommended? No. However, it does show that a simple paper grocery bag does a fine job of blocking UV light. I was actually still on my first paper bag, too. They dont need replaced unless you spill resin on them or poke a hole in them. I understand that this product is made with high-quality materials, and I definitely appreciate that it is made in the US. I would be willing to pay a reasonable premium just for the made in the US aspect. However, this should be in the $30 range including shipping, not $40 + shipping. Of course, this is only my opinion and only applies to my situation. Others may find more value in it. TLDR - Very good cover, and it is a definite upgrade from my paper grocery bag. However, since I print in an area that does not receive direct sunlight, I do not think that it was worth the price for my personal situation. In retrospect, I would not have paid more than $30 including shipping. If you print in an area that receives so much sunlight that an opaque paper bag does not protect it, then it certainly may be worth the price for you.

> 24 hourInitially I was a bit surprised by the price, which seemed on the higher side— but ordered it based off the reviews given. All I can say is, this cover is so well made it may outlast my printer itself. The cover is a very thick and reinforced nylon, much stronger than a backpack. The black cloth cuts all light, and has raised flaps on each side that allow cords to exit without twisting. Now I’m contemplating getting one for the wash station as well. Terrific product.

> 24 hourThis cover fits my Epax X1 3D printer perfectly. Its very well made and durable. Blocks all light from getting in. Feels great also. I love how the bottom has 4 small flaps which allows you to put it on while a usb stick is plugged in without worrying about damaging anything. Very nice product.
