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

I'm fairly new to resin printing and wanted an icy blue for some rpg miniatures for an upcoming Christmas campaign.I love the colour of this, and the frosty quality - especially when the light is behind it.Supports came off easily without taking any fingers or horns with them, and cured this particular model for about 10 mins. Once hardened, I'm comfortable that this will stay intact when rattling around in a box with other miniatures. I applied some pressure to the horns of this model (about 3mm in diameter at the widest point) and I think it will take a fair amount of force for them to snap.Very pleased with it and looking forward to printing more!

This is great resin for 3d resin printers

Gift - ok last Christmas

Had issues curing this initially, remained tacky with a strong smell despite two washes in fresh-ish IPA and a fairly long cure time for what was in there. Tried curing in water and the difference was night and day, excellent prints since.

For small single pieces or for pieces that require glueing together this is a waste of money, you lose a lot of details just simply because the shadows don't fall correctly and glued models show the joins through the translucent resin. I recommend opaque grey. HOWEVER for large scale models such as dragons this looks amazing! 100% recommend, will definitely buy again for my larger projects.

Since getting my Elegoo Mars 2 in Nov of 2021 I have used many types of resin, looking for one that best suits the printer. Some have been less brittle, sacrificing detail Others are highly detailed but a breath of fresh air will snap bits off my minis.To date this Resin is the most consistent I have used, I am half way through a bottle and have created a few dozen high quality, clean prints.I’ve had no fails with this resin either. The minis are durable with a bit of flex, most with most with standing a bit of handling and knocks.The resin cleans off easily in a quick ipa bath and a dip in warm water makes the sprues pop off nice n quickly. Will purchase again

I bought this as a test to try the technique of applying this to an FDM print to smooth out the print. I bought this slightly thicker resin as I wanted to try it with a mix of talc for fixing large gaps, but I also tried the method of applying it to the print and I was astounded.The pictures show a before and after of the top side of a print, the side that has the retraction test, I wanted to work with something that was terrible to start with.Blown away by the actual result here, the face has a mirror finish now, although you have to put in the effort to get it to that point, working with wet sandpapers from 120 to 3000 grit.I also carelessly dabbed the resin on the side to see the effect on layer lines and it’s just astonishing.Really pleased with the result and reading to put this technique into place on a real part.

I really like this smoky black resin but it really does leave a visible mark where the supports have been. I’m going to try a clear laquer over the finished prints to see if that help, but haven’t finished the project (chess set) yet.
