ELEGOO Upgraded 8K Standard Photopolymer 3D Printer Resin 405nm UV-Curing Resin Best for 12K/14K/16K Saturn Mars Jupiter MSLA DLP LCD 3D Printing Space Grey 1000G

Great resin for the Saturn. Seems to print just as high of a resolution as the other brands I have tried. Smells horrible, of course, but cleans up pretty well with iso alcohol. Good value for the money, and prints strong.

This Elegoo 8K resin has been great to work with. It prints reliably and the detail is really sharp, even on smaller features. Surfaces come out smooth, supports are easy to remove, and I haven’t had any failed prints so far. It cures nicely and just works without a lot of tweaking. Solid resin if you want clean, high-detail prints without headaches.

My original review stood for two years, but within the last few months elegoo has changed just about everything regarding their resin. Literally the packaging is now cheap light weight boxes, the resin has a different thicker consistency, and the cure time is varying from one bottle to another. I am now running an ebay business manufacturing model parts that I have designed to upgrade scale model kits or to be used by gamers, so I am going through several bottles of resin a week. These changes were over a period of a few months, but after a several bottles of wasted prints, and worse the time involved to find the issue, I decided it was finally time to try a different resin. I have since swapped to Anycubic, which is more like elegoo used to be. Your experiences may vary, as little as a single degree in temperature can make a difference in results, but in my situation of running 4 printers 24 x 7 and shipping a dozen orders a week, I could no longer take rhe risk and had to make the swap. Hopefully my original review didn't miss lead anyone! Original review follows: To be fair, this is the only resin I have used, I started with it since I bought an Elegoo brand 3D printer and figured for the first few bottles I would use their brand to be safe. Since then, I have continued to buy just this resin. The color choices are great, I have used the grey, white, black, and clear red so far and they have all been great. I have had very few failed starts on my prints, and they may have had nothing to do with the resin. The reasons I have only bought this resin are: - The low odor is hardly noticeable to me, the 90% IPA actually has a MUCH more noticeable odor than the resin, and as I use this in the house in my hobby room that is very important to me, well, my wife really, but that is what matters. ; ] - The price is neither the lowest nor the highest out there, so I feel it is a fair value. - The print results have been really great, I will attach a few photos to the review. - I figure I have a good thing going, so why mess with it. The only things I have noticed with this resin so far are that: - It is very important to check the exposure times for the resin before printing, some of the darker colors take more seconds per layer. - The white resin sometimes has visible layer lines in the final print. You can not feel them, nor see them when painted, but when it is just the bare resin they are sometimes visible. - You will want a cure light if you live anywhere that you don't have access to a fair amount of sunshine. I am in the Pacific North West, and left a print in the window sill for a week and it was still not fully cured. But under a UV light on a turn table it is done in 5 to 6 minutes for most prints. If I learn anything else, or start to experience different results I will update this review.

Works great with the Saturn 4 ultra 16k. A little thinner compared to space grey but it comes out nicely. I have grey primer so it was tough to make sure I had full coverage when it was grey on grey.

I have a Sonic Mini 4k, and bought this grey resin to try out due to it's price point, and great print quality. First, I want to touch on great things about this resin, and why I use it pretty frequently. - The smell is pretty low. The smell itself is an inoffensive plastic-like scent, and is only really noticeable within about 10-15 feet of the printer. (I still have everything ventilated) - Print quality and detail is spectacular. No complaints in quality, every print came out looking very sharp, even when I heavily overexposed it. - Not that messy. The resin drips off of the build plate in about 10 minutes, and isn't very hard to clean in general. The low odor helps with this step a lot. Now to explain the 4 stars. After doing a few prints with this resin and really getting a feel for it, I can say that I do really like using this resin for a lot of reasons, but don't think this particular color is perfect for final prints you plan on giving as gifts, using in your table top games, or selling. The only issue with this resin is that it struggles to fully cure on the surface, and you can be left with a somewhat soft, almost rubbery feeling print, even after extensive curing that slightly discolored the grey print. I have read that you can avoid this by curing your parts while they are submerged in water, but I haven't personally tested this. In contrast, the Elegoo translucent resin has a great, hard surface finish that I was expecting from the grey. In conclusion, if you're looking for a great go-to resin for testing out your own designs, prototyping products, or to practice printing, this is a great, cost effective resin, that I enjoy using. If you plan on making gifts or playing with these figures, you might have better luck using a different color (As I said, the translucent has a great finish, but does yellow easily)

Works as intended! High quality item for resin printing

Best clear resin you can get. Doesn't smell terrible, decent price and actually comes out clear!

Wonderful resin and I’d use Amazon to order it from now one they can’t be beat with the speed of delivery Elegoo has some great resin but the shipping takes a little to long for me

I have been buying this resin from Amazon for a few months. Previously I never had any issues. However this last delivery had 2 major issues : a) Firstly received 775gms in the bottle instead of 1000 gm s b) The raisin looks diluted and does not have strength in 3 d printing. Pieces break from the steel plate and fall into the tank. Thus printing is only 50% of the article. From the same file I have sucessfully printed from earlier purchases of the same resin

Perfect
