yeha I've been making super fine mail, and with a 4k (50um) printer the mail joins together if the gaps are less than about 200um which is 4 pixels, so it's not like it doesn't have enough pixels for the deails I want but better resins do much better and more direct light (best being DLP) would be far better than just higher resoloution.

I used to do material testing for a living, so I love that you test resins for things that actually matter to makers! Good job!

I'm with you I like the sunlu abs and then the conjure rigid

Ohh this should be a good one! Thumbs up straight away these have been awesome video tests! Ive got the ABS like coming today to try out! I've been wanting to try it just the name and price you think is going to be cheap rubbish but some reviews are making it seem rubbish but found a couple of true test reviews like this and the sunlu just outperformed alot of named branded one's! Im just wanting to find abit of savings in resin as printing alot just now with starting doing these large scale figures! I was doing just parts for my modelling hobby 1 bottle was lasting a month now 1 bottle lasts a week lol and at £23.99 to elegoo 2.0 abs like at £36.99 prime sale of £26 last week so got a wee saving but yeah thats some drop in price!

I havent seen too mamy people talking about it, but the Water Washable here is frequently comparable to SirayaTech Blu. I print minis casually for Battletech, and mainly with Blu since you can drop them without any worries. However, for convenience of water washability and price, the Water Washable might actually be my fave of this test.

Thank you for the testing. You are supplying the information and comparisons that interest me. I print structural parts, usually with Siraya ABS-like Fast resin. I like the performance but less expensive would be better. :-)

Every time i make a price comparison it changes with everything in "sale" and ok bundle sale i can understand but they didn't want to comment on why it swings so much. That said they can't keep it in stock here in the EU so they have or supply issues which is unlikely or there is so much demand that they pump the prices because they can.

It would be great if you could mix the toughness resin with the water washable and see how it changes the hardness, toughness etc. Although the water washable is tougher than the standard, I've still had minis snap if dropped from table height, my hope was if around 10-20% toughness resin was added by weight this would help solve my problem!

What exporuse times do you use? Tuned for strenght or for dimensional precision? And also what post-curing do you use, is there any additional heating? I think most though resins get most of their thoughness with proper post-curing. But post-curing is very fuzzy subject :/

@NoizieWorks

If there isn't a profile available in chitu or now lychee i use the minimum recommended exposure times on the bottle or the company gives me the feedback upfront. The last 2 gauntlets that gave me almost perfect dimensional results (for the nut and bolt test) i let it clean in a container full of ipa and let it float into a big ultrasonic cleaner. Let it dry after that and give it 5 minutes on a timer in my uv curing chamber. Water should help make it cure better as there is no oxygen to screw around and "apparently" helps agains warping. Imo the way i do it is the way most user would do it but i'm defenitly going to try water curing in the future. It seems that there are to many ways to do post-curing and they all claim different or the same results. I even have a company claiming that with 1 of there resins post-curing isn't necessary.

Nova 3d ultra clear "spoiler alert" it's up next

So one thing I notice is it looks like your Sunlu ABS sample here was black. I've printed with black, light gray, dark gray, white, and two varieties of clear, and while white was too much of a pain to try any sort of durability tests with, I have noticed that black is both softer *and* more brittle than either of the grays, of which light gray is definitely the stronger in tension. I'd really like to see these measurements re-taken with one (or both) of the two gray variants, as in my experience they're both *significantly* more durable than black, by every metric. Sunlu ABS-like dark gray is my favorite resin to print with so far, with light gray bringing up second place.

@NoizieWorks

Жыл бұрын

The abs sample was grey and tested in the first RTG. The black sample is water washable. It is true that color plays a role with strength but i think it's more a uv absorption difference causing higher or lower uv exposure needed for the same print dimensions. For black a higher exposure time is needed then brighter colors.

Hi mate hows things?, quick wee story that might intrest you? Im using and testing the elegoo ABS Like 2.0 this past month i got a bad bottle the first time, the other 2 were fine but had loads crap in the resin it had to be sifted before use or could have destroyed the screen so buyer beware of this! what i did notice is i dropped a part in a bucket of water by accident and thought "oh great It'll be all that water droplet sticky now" but surprisingly it washed off! The whole print washed in water!?? So very confused tried it a again then managed to just wash the resin IPA bucket out spotless with hot soapy water! Im wondering if this new ABS Like 2.0 with it's higher near 5s normal exposure is water washable? , but nothing says it is or anything about it being any such way so either it is water washable or the wrong stuff in bottles i dunno I'm stummped but might explain such a high exposure rate from the previous ABS Like? They must have made some drastic changes to raise the normal exposure so high amd you do need a bottom layer of 30s or wont adhere to build plate! maybe if you have a bottle there you can give it a wee test or look into it? Edit, Oh yeah and it warps like nothing I've ever used so why im thinking its a more eco resin the New Elegoo LIKE ABS 2.0 Resin the normal ABS Like is way better and prints at half the exposure this 2.0 needs! Somethings up with it there is no reviews yet on it bar 1 and the guy im speaking to is having same issues but thinks the print detail is alot better but its not! Anycubics Great UV Tough is great for detail and it's nothing to what anycubic tough even prints like! Dont get me wrong it is nice and works but i hate using higher than 3s exposure with resins theres just no really any need till you come to specialist resins really! Eco resin maybe ok for landfill (it's definitely not lol) but definitely not eco friendly on our printers thats for damb sure! Its a screen killer!
