Siraya Tech Fast ABS-Like 3D Printer Resin 405nm UV-Curing Non-Brittle High Precision 3D Printing Liquid Standard Photopolymer Resin for LCD DLP 3D Printing(Grey, 1kg)

This was the first resin I started using with my Creality resin printer and it worked well but I wanted to try some others. I tried both Longer and Anycubic resins that were also rigid-type resins. With those I had issues with these resins not reproducing detail as well as the Siraya resin and also with them being more brittle such that the parts shattered easily when trying to remove them from the build plate. I tried adjusting the initial layer settings on the Longer and Anycubic resins but then had issues with them coming detached from the build plate during printing. When they did stick, the resulting prints showed deformations in areas of fine detail. So, I went back to the Siraya resin and these problems went away and I started getting near perfect prints once again. One thing I did find is that the parts need to be cleaned in fresh alcohol so when I print multiple pieces in a single print, my procedure is to do an initial wash in an alcohol bath using a chip brush to remove the uncured surface resin. I place each part on a drying rack until all parts have received this initial treatment. Then because the second and subsequent parts had been washed in the alcohol that contains some of the washed off resin, I will do a second wash in a fresh batch of alcohol on all of the parts (except the first one cleaned). Then I use a hair dryer on the high setting to thoroughly dry all of the parts. Lastly, I cure all the parts in a UV chamber (cardboard box lined with foil) for 10-15 minutes on each side. I dont think over-curing in UV is an issue as I have accidently left a part in the chamber for about 12 hours without any ill effects. For settings, I am following the recommended settings shown in the spreadsheet from Sirayas website. I couldnt find any similar instructions for the Longer or Anycubic resins which is another reason that I dont care for these other manufacturers. One thing I would like to see is for Siraya to offer their resins in larger sizes such as gallon or 4L containers as long as this would not adversely affect shipping costs.

I was using the AnyCubic resins. The basic grey stuff, UV curable. Nothing Fancy. Even tried the black. I had a couple good prints and the rest all had some kind of error. Undefined tiny part here, unprinted hand or foot there, then I read to give Siraya Tech Fast a shot (for miniatures) and I havent had a single error since. Even reprinted the parts that failed before, with ZERO errors. Maybe I got old resin from AnyCubic? Maybe it was just a bad batch, I cant say honestly. But theres no need to figure it out, because Ill never use anything but Siraya Tech from now on. A little bit more in cost, but worth the extra few pennies. The grey is actually a lighter shade than the AnyCubic grey, and Im really enjoying using this stuff. And more importantly, the odor, is almost non-existent. AnyCubic resins will give you a headache, as soon as you open the bottle, and it has filled the room with the resin smell. This stuff, I can actually sit in the room while its printing and not even smell it. Which is a HUGE plus for those extra pennies. Using ChituBox on Photon Mono 4ks (I have 2) with all the default settings, and not a single issue.

Im pretty new to resin printing and Ive tried 5 different resins from different brands so far. This Sirayatech fast grey is far stronger and more flexible than the basic resins Ive used. The drawback to this is it can be a bit more difficult to remove supports, and must be printed with slower lift speeds than Ive achieved with other resins, its worth it for the added strength though. Holds detail very well, not quite as good as phrozen 4k, but better than Anycubic standard and standard+. For reference my perfect setting for accuracy on a photon M3 is 40um layer height 1.8s exposure, 3/3mm lift height 40/80mm/m lift speed, 80/40mm/m retract speed. 4 burn in layers at 24s exposure. Im working my way up on speeds, Im sure I can print faster, but the 180-240mm/s I was using with the phrozen resin failed and Ive only validated this one at slow speeds so far.

Siraya Tech resin gives great results. Not brittle and prints are amazing.

I got the metal gray as it showed that it was darker than the navy gray, but mine is much lighter like the regular gray. Other than that, I’ve purchased quite a few colors of this specific resin and they’re all amazing quality, super high detail, and prints quick

I do a lot of miniature painting and printing. This is my go-to resin. I do add about 10% of tough and that makes a really sturdy miniature. Its like the fourth time Ive bought this so its good

as long as your printer is halfway dialed in this is resin is my go to for ease of printing with the fewest fails but things that help are keeping it warm and making sure its stirred well

Perfect little low speed drill for pinning minis. Make sure you make a small hole with something if what youre pinning is hard. Even though its slow, it can still skip off center.

Great type of resin to print wargaming minis

This resin is the best Resin that I have used. Previously having used Anycubic eco clear, and an elegoo resin. No matter the settings my prints would fail, even when using the recommended settings from the manufacturer. This resin has a close to 100% success rate for me. I do get some layers of resin that seem to be printed as a half sheet. But that is most likely an error with my Anycubic Photon Zero, but cant be sure. Overall this is the resin I always recommend
