ELEGOO 8K Water Washable Photopolymer Resin 405nm LCD UV Curing Resin Best for Saturn 2 8K LCD 3D Printer, Space Grey 1000G

Muy bien material...

I've used four bottles of the grey and one jug of vanilla, mostly for miniatures and 1:6 scale figures, and both colors are impressive in their own ways. The grey really makes details pop, even tiny creases and textures in clothes or armor come through cleanly. It’s an excellent neutral tone for painting or displaying raw. The vanilla has a soft, semi-translucent look that feels more natural and is perfect for sanding and priming. The texture when cured is very smooth, not brittle or chalky. You get a nice hard finish that holds detail without flaking or cracking. I’ve never had prints split or warp, even with thin pieces. The thickness of the resin out of the bottle is just right—not watery, but not too thick either, which helps reduce bubbles and keeps flow consistent in the vat. No leakage issues with any of the bottles I've received. The caps stay tight, and I haven’t had resin creeping out during storage. I leave this in my printer’s vat for days sometimes with no curing or separation, though I stir it before reusing. Value for money? Absolutely. It’s priced lower than a lot of 8K resins, especially considering it’s water washable. That alone saves on IPA costs and cleanup time. Just rinse with water and a soft brush (included with every bottle), cure your rinse water in the sun or a good UV flashlight, and you're done. For me, this resin hits the sweet spot of quality, convenience, and affordability.

I am new to resin printing. I have had a FDM printer for a long time now. I was concerned for a long time about dealing with the resin. The cost of having to have a lot of alcohol on hand, the odor, and keeping everything clean was concerning to me. Decided to try the washable resin to see how it did. I was initially concerned that this would be inferior to regular resin and although easier to deal with, would create worse prints or be more fragile than regular resin. I am glad to say my fears have been unfounded. The prints so far have come out fantastic and with great detail. I have had a few issues, but that was due to support layout (learned my lesson about using the autosupport function in my slicer, it isn't close to enough supports). The cleanup has been a breeze with just water. I also got a small ultrasonic cleaner. Works so great with just plain water. I found that a 3 step cleaning process gets all the lose resin off. I use a pickle bin first to rinse it right from the printer to get the heavy stuff off. I swish it in basket for 10 seconds or so. I then remove the supports and put in the ultrasonic cleaner and run that for 4 minutes. I change the water and run again for another 4 minutes. After that I let air dry and then cure when fully dry. That process took some trial and error. My first prints I just washed in the pickle jar and was getting a heavy white powdery stuff on the print. Did some googling and determined I wasn't cleaning enough. I then used the ultrasonic and it got better but not perfect. That is when I did the second wash with clean water and then fully air dried the pieces before curing and now I get perfect prints with no powdery stuff on the outside. I also don't have to do a lot of manual scrubbing that I don't have time for. I figure the cost of the ultrasonic cleaner is definitely offset by the fact that I don't need any isopropyl alcohol at all. Which is good because that stuff stinks up my shop when I use it. Speaking of odors, the resin does have a slight odor. You can smell it and it has a distinct odor, but I don't think it is strong at all and so far has not been a problem which is good because I can be sensitive to odors. With the lid closed on my printer and the bottle closed, I don't smell anything. Only when pouring new stuff in the vat do I smell something and then it quickly dissipates.

Excelente resina, boa qualidade e ótima definição usada na Saturn 2 - 8K

Pieces come out with excellent resolution, however pieces are much more fragile than standard resins, if you want to avoid using IPA it's a good choice but be careful with what you print.
