3D Printer Resin, 405nm UV Plant-Based Rapid Resin, Low Odor, Photopolymer Resin for LCD 3D Printing,1kg Grey

I like that I don't feel as anxious using this. The fumes are still noticeable, but not super bad I feel bad. The print quality is pretty nice, although I have had some tiny arrows shafts/bowstrings break while removing supports, but that's on me. There is some slight warping/shrinking on a few prints, but it's not noticeable on anything that's a standalone piece itself or parts that connect in spots that don't have to line up perfect. I had a few giant prints go through that require more lining up, but there's some gaps which I'm learning to fill with greenstuff/milliput. There's a bit of tackyness/stickyness after wash/dry/cure, but that's not gonna be a problem for me as I intend to paint the stuff I print. I much prefer the grey over the white of this.

I really like this line of resin. I got a bottle of elegoo a few weeks ago and a very comprehensive air quality monitor and the elegoo resin made it go crazy on the UFP and VOC levls. The elegoo resin stinks up the whole house with a formaldehyde smell and gives everyone a headache for the rest of the day. I have bought 3 bottles of this Anycubic resin and it really is low odor. The air quality of the room the printer is in is almost perfect at a 13-17. It does still have a very slight smell if you know what to smell for but it is miles better than other resins I have tried. It also sands and paints well, and the viscosity is high enough that I can turn down wait times between layers.

As a first time owner of a resin printer (Anycubic Photon Mono 4K), I am happy to say it was a painless transition from FDM printing and having a good resin, such as this, helps. I don't have experience with other resins, but this was recommended to me by a coworker who said he uses it for all his stuff he prints, so it's what I went with. I've only done about 3 prints as of writing this review, which I think should be pretty good for figuring out whether or not I will like it, and have to say, I'm completely amazed by the quality. Maybe it's just because all I've known is printing with filament and the difference is night and day. Either way, it prints good, and the printer itself did a good job. The pics I have provided are printed with this resin, but don't represent the true color of the resin since I've applied a light coat of primer since I plan on painting it. The actual color is a shade lighter than the primer. The print quality is still amazing with this resin and clean and cure was a snap with the Anycubic wash and cure station. 10 minute wash, 5 minute cure and print is great.

I was about to get kicked out of the house due to the smell of typical 3D printing resin. This one is not odorless, but the smell is only a small fraction of the other resins. It also isn't quite so sticky when you get some on a tool handle or your hands (yes, I wear gloves, but I'm not perfect). For the Mars 2 Pro printer I did some tests and found that 3.5 second exposures (45 seconds for the first layers) worked well. Your preferences may vary depending on what you make, but that would be a good starting point. For other printers the numbers could be very different, because each has different UV intensity. I have been printing airfoil cross sections, 113 mm chord by 145 mm wide. The pieces are hollow, with a wall thin enough that it flexes in your fingers. You can seem some flaws in the photo, but most or all are because the FEP film in the machine has damage from previous projects. Once I replace that, results should be excellent. I had a 500 g bottle, and just ordered another 1 kg.

This resin will give you great detail with reduced odor (it still smells pretty bad) the biggest problem is how brittle it is. If you’re looking for resin that can withstand normal wear and tear, drilling or even an accidental drop to the floor I’d look elsewhere.
