ELEGOO ABS-Like 3D Rapid Resin LCD UV-Curing Resin 405nm Standard Photopolymer Resin for LCD 3D Printing

This is some good resin. I haven't strayed far from the brand that my printer (Nova3D Elfin2) came with, but I wasn't happy with their white. As shown in the photos after curing Nova3D's white turns almost a sepia color... if you will? This ELEGOO ABS-Like Rapid Resin stays white or at least a better shade of white.I posted a photo of an octopus, it's the test file that comes with my printer, that guy has sat outside for a few weeks at this point. Still just as white as ever. In the other photo, I printed some wall mounting brackets for my Bose SoundTouch monitor speakers. On the left is the Nova3D Resin and on the right is the ElEGOO ABS-Like.This stuff is great for printing lithophanes. It's successfully printed up to .1mm layer height (for faster printing).The Bose Bracket and the Octopus are both printed at .035mm layer height. Honestly unless you're looking and not-post processing, 99% of the things I print in resin now can be printed at .1mm layer height. A layer of paint covers up almost any layer marks, plus this stuff is strong.I will have to post a question to the maker.. I'm unable to dial in the perfect first layer settings.... Everything I try this thing sticks to the build plate like it was supposed to be married to it. I end up breaking the model by trying to force it off. The only way I've come around this was just put supports on everything, even the base, but with the Nova3D Standard Resin I didn't have to do that, it comes off perfectly (with just a tad force).I have been using the clippers that come with my printer as a trick to get the model to lift up, then once it's given up a bit of the adhesion I use the spatula... anyone recommend a new way? I'm new to resin (5 months)

***UPDATE: still great customer service, however the heat deformation temperature is NOT 80C. I heated some prints to 65C for cerakote application. They cracked. It’s bad and I’ve attached pictures. If you need the heat resistance, look elsewhere (note that siraya blu also does this).Abs like is a great all around resin. I don’t print minis, but rather functional parts. There’s little shrinkage and I don’t have to scale my parts. Stuff is pretty strong - not as strong as Siraya blu, but ABS like is significantly easier to print with. You don’t need a heater to print this stuff (I still use one, since I need to be at 25-30C for Blu to print).It’s got a bit of flex on thin parts so if rigidity is what you’re after I’d consider looking elsewhere. By no means is it ‘flexible’ (like Siraya tenacious), it’s just not super rigid or brittle.My only two gripes with this product are the odor and packaging. For small prints the odor is kept in the enclosure, and with the use of Elegoo’s mini filters (on a Mars 2 NON pro) you can’t smell it until you take the cover off. However, large prints are very noticeable regarding odor. I have my printer in a grow tent, and if I’ve had the cover open for a while it stinks up my basement (still running the mini air purifiers. Their capacity is honestly just the area of the printer itself since they’re so small).Siraya Blu gives off much less odor than ABS like. I’ve heard people say the opposite, but I can tell you that in my experience (and those I live with), that ABS like produces more odor, and it smells worse. Siraya blue gives off a bit less, and smells vaguely of lemons which is weird.The packaging. The caps are infamous for breaking. The top pops off and resin goes everywhere. Not fun. Not fun at all. So make sure to hold down the top of the cap when shaking and to be safe I now wrap a paper towel around the top. I had one explode, which obviously made a mess. I contacted Elegoo with pictures and they’re sending me a new bottle, which is awesome. Very pleased with their customer service

I had heard about the Elegoo resin and for the price decided to give it a shot. The quality of print is great and the resin is a little more liquid then others I have tried (actually makes clean up easier in my opinion). The white comes out of the printer looking amazingly bright but after a little curing it stars to get more cream.I am working on a custom scrabble board design and wanted to have tiles that looked like the old plastic/clay tiles from games when I was a kid. With a full day of exposure to sunlight, the white resin turns almost completely beige. In my case I wanted that, but for others looking to have a white part, this may not be the right resin for you.

I've been using Elgoos ABS like resing for years, and decided to "upgrade" to their new 2.0 resin. This stuff was horrible. Lots of failed prints. ANd the ones that did print properly were nearly impossible to clean all the uncured resin off, so there was residue all over them when UV cured.I had been using the same cleaning setup for years with the old abs resin with no issues, but this stuff would not clean properly using that. So I tried all sorts of different and more involved cleaning methods and still rarely got a clean print. It also stuck to the inside of my alcohol cleaning containers and left a weird sticky gunk that was hell to try and clean off, even with acetone. After months of trying different things, I switched back to the old style ABS resin and the first print printed perfectly, and cleaned easily using my old, simpler cleaning method. Absolute trash and a waste of not just the money I paid for it, but hours and hours of my time.Hopefully elegoo keeps their old style abs resin available. If they ever stop selling that in favor of this I will immediately switch to a different resin company.

I gave this a 4 star because there is no way to achieve the white they are depicting, or at least not one that I have found. Using the sun in small short burst, cloudy days, even low powered UV led's yellowed the cured resin. Other than that the stuff is top notch and would recommend if you don't care about the end color of the model.Right off of the build platform of my MARS, the stuff is white as can be!Thanks ELEGOO for great and reliable products!
