ELEGOO Water Washable 3D Printer Rapid Resin 1000g US-EL-3D-065

Received on time and worked well with my elegoo Saturn

A resina se infiltrou pelo meu fep e danificou meu lcd, tive um prejuízo enorme.

My experience with this resin is rather mixed. I gave it a 4 star rating anyway because I am absolutely certain that if the kinks, or intended uses were better advertised, I wouldn't have ran into the issues that Iran into. That being said the good is as follows: Low Odor Easy to Clean Beautiful Color Settings for curing are standard The bad: Very fragile/weak - I used the Photon S Test object that is a lattice cube and half way through the print it broke of at the base due to force adhesion. This was also using an FEP film in the vat as I have been unsuccessful using PET so far. The fragility of the material after it is curing or during the print process makes the cost prohibitive to users that need 100% successful print, with little overhead cost, or "experimentation" with settings. This also makes all prints by default take longer (if the solution is simply longer cure times 12 sec vs 8 sec). That being said, the final product, with a successful print, is wonderful and would be ideal for solid, non thin, non fragile prints such as busts, parts, solid minis, etc. It is not ideal for lattice designs, or overly thin structures, consequently this would be ideal for supports... I suppose having written this, it sounds like a 5 star rating, but for the cost, and true applications this can truly accommodate it isn't *quite* at the 5 star rating. If the fragility issues didn't exist I would 5 star this hands down, no further complaints!

I haven't printed with many types of resins so I can't contrast this one against much. But I can say it prints well in medium to warm climates, and is very easy to wash clean in pure water. I settled on a mild detergent like Dial hand soap (which worked VERY WELL with very little soap needed) in a ziplock bag inside of a heated ultrasonic cleaner. Truly, I never had issues with cleaning. The resin does like to be dry when curing (or at least all dry, but I never tried all submerged in water). I had a couple of prints cured with water still on areas of the model and the shrinkage rates were significantly different causing warpage. I haven't tried fully submerged in water yet which should speed up curing as very low oxygen is in contact with the part as oxygen inhabits some of the chemical reactions of the curing process. I mostly used the default ChituBox settings for my printer, LD002R, and only had problems with supports breaking and never adhering to the bed. Its very low odor, still sharp but really subtle, if that makes sense. Its relatively thin, but not troublesome. I would say the prints are average in strength and brittleness, when compared to standard resins.

I am very happy, as a SLA resin beginner, with this resin. Cleanup was dead simple, and the print quality was exceptional. I was getting ready to shelve my new SLA printer as finicky niche tool after struggling to get any kind of consistent quality out of the printer manufacture's line of resin. To be fair I had to stumble through the learning curve with that resin and already had a better idea of what I was doing with this one. Regardless this resin worked much better. I ended up with only a couple of millimeter sized shinny spots. I am sold on water washable resins if they all work this well. The Isopropyl alcohol is going back on the shelf and is only going to get used to clean the machines from here on out. Printer: Creality Halot Settings: Used what was on the bottle Print Cleanup: freshwater rinse with soft toothbrush, then simple green in a cleaning station for 20min, with a final freshwater rinse, and UV light cure 2 minutes on the top and then 2 minutes on the bottom

I purchased this Resin (plus a standard Elegoo Clear resin) along with a Elegoo Mars as IPA to clean standard resin was hard to come by. I had seen some early reviews online that indicated there were severe separation between layers when curing. I did not experience issues with any of my prints, from the test chest model through to larger prints that maxed out the x y and z build dimensions. I used the default settings in Chitubox for Elegoo Mars (Layer Height 0.05mm, Exposure Time 8 secs, Bottom Exposure Time 60 secs, Lift Distance 5mm and Left speed of 100 mm/min). The prints were very easy to clean up with water, although I did find I needed to use a cleaner solution to thoroughly clean the print vat.
