ELEGOO ABS-Like 3D Printer Resin Clear Blue 1000g

This is my current go-to resin for most prints. I prefer the Grey, as it shows details fairly well, but I've used the other colors with the same results. Once I got got my printer dialed in for this resin, I've had dozens of build plates printed without a single failure. It's really good. Prints with this resin tend to be very highly detailed and reasonable strong. In smaller pieces, there is some brittleness, especially if you overcure, so I definitely try not to do that. It is very temperature sensitive, and I try to make sure my printing room is 80 degrees F for the best results. I clean with a 99 percent IPA solution, using a dirty and a clean wash, and this seems to do quite well with this resin. Most recently I have taken to mixing in 80% Elegoo ABS with 20% Siraya Tenacious - for any prints that I want to be extra durable, or have extra fine breakable parts. This does seem to bump up the durability, at a slight cost of detail, but with this mix most parts I can drop from my head to the floor without any breakage at all. At the price point it's currently at (1kg for $40), this is a very competitive and high quality resin.

First off, the gray resin in my opinion is the best at showing details on unpainted models or prints. :) The odor on this resin is extremely tame. I had worked in a paint store for 5 years and had been exposed to all kinds of industrial grade enamels, solvents, etc. This stuff isn't even as stinky as opening up a normal gallon of paint. High points there. I have it in my computer room where I prefer to reside for long hours, and have never been bothered by the odor, especially when the cover is on the printer. No smell. As for quality, I'm kind of blown away. I had printed a miniature for D&D, and didn't check the scale of the model. Base was supposed to be about the size of a quarter, but the overall height was less than a quarter's diameter. Despite the ridiculous tiny-ness of the model, details are still sharp and the stuff still holds together! He has a sword about as thin as a credit card's thickness and is still standing, even through snipping supports, swirling in the IPA bath, handling with no extreme precaution, etc. The price is extremely fair, in my opinion. You can buy approximately the same amount of material for FDM printing (1 spool) for about the same price, and FDM is known as the cheaper of the 3D printing technologies. 500g turns out to be a little less than half a liter, which has gotten me about a dozen D&D minis, as well as a 6-inch tall statue, with about a third of the bottle still left. Overall highly recommend. I will probably be buying the 1000g size next.

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)

I just got it with the mars 2 and while it is printing really well about 80% of the time, every now and again the print will not stick to the bed of the printer and pops off onto the fep on the bottom. It can get extremely detailed prints and overall I am very happy about it. BEST AND (PROBABLY) CHEAPEST WASHIBG METHOD: 1) go to your local hardware store and get 1 gal of simple green for $10 2) mix 3 parts simple green to 2 parts water in whatever container you use to clean your prints. 3) wash your print Optional step 3.5) squirt a few spirits of IPA over the plate to remove excess resin, and also onto the potentially harder to reach areas of the print, not necessary for all prints, but could help with the more complex ones. 4) rinse thoroughly with warm water 5) remove the supports and cure for 10min under your uv lamp or whatever you use.

The product works as advertised and has low smell which is a bonus for printing indoors. I’ve been using the Gray a lot for mini printing and the detail I’m getting is amazing! But what really shines is their customer service. I initially had an issue with my first bottle shipped where a large amount of resin was missing. Nearly half the bottle! I noticed it seemed light when it arrived, but since it was my first ever bottle of resin I ignored my concerns thinking it was inexperience on my part. That was until after using the bottle when my print log (yes I log each print in grams used) didn’t add up anywhere close to 500 grams. By this point I had ordered a second bottle which was much heavier upon delivery. Something was clearly wrong. I don’t know where in the chain the resin was lost, either in manufacturing or likely by someone using some and then returning to Amazon where they just resold it, but Elegoo reaches out to me and helped make it right. Customer service like that is hard to come by and I very much appreciate what they did for me. My only suggestion to them was to add tamper proof packaging in the future so if people are trying to take advantage of Amazon’s return policy then it can help put an end to that. Right now the bottles don’t come with any sort of seal so an open “used” bottle can look identical to a “new” bottle.

I wanted to print the dolphin and did. It is hard to get it super clear as the surface, when dry, looks hazy. I may not be getting it clean enough, but I think some work with the 3M headlight cleaning kit will do the trick. I am also going to turn off the anti aliasing feature of the slicer as that could be aggravating the problem as it may produce grey scale pixels instead of just on or off resulting in partially cured resin. The resin itself is great though, maybe a little more brittle than the pigmented ones, but very tough. Grey resin is great stuff. As you can see from the photo, it holds detail very nicely. I don't notice any smell. The clear red came out pretty nice, quite clear, nice ruby red. The flesh is a good flesh color, looks good. White was a little odd, it came out looking nice and white, but when I put it under a UV light for a final cure it turned a light tan. Maybe not clean enough, but I won't be final curing any more white.

Can't get a better resin for the price. Excellent detail, shorter print times, and best of all, prints aren't so brittle they shatter when you look at them funny. All resins behave differently depending on your printer, condition of your FEP, temperature, and humidity. Make sure you spend the time to do some some of the calibration prints put there. Currently mine is doing its best at only 6s exposure time on a .050 layer height. Don't listen to people randomly stating if you have fails keep increasing exposure to 12-14s. That may be correct for them, but you need to put in the effort for you. With this resin I have more success, and better detail with a shorter exposure time on my Mars Pro. One final addition. When I've had issues with my Elegoo equipment, their support has been phenomenal. So even if you do have a problem, they'll make sure you are taken care of.

I've used this a bunch of times and have had lots of good luck with it. I would recommend using it *hot*, as room temp of 70 and below it does seem to have some issues. I'm not the world's best resin printing person, but I have personally had good outcomes with this. Make sure you have ventilation - don't be a dummy.
