ELEGOO 8K Water Washable Resin

Does exactly what you need it to do, saves you using ipa to clean it. Although it is still incredibly smelly. If you are thinking about getting a resin printer and it will be inside your house, I would think again. I put it in my garage and I’m so happy I did. These printers smell way too much to be inside your home.

Not the fastest resin but the details are very good and you don’t need litres of IPA. Good trade off and good balance for me.

I have been using a resin 3D printer for around a year. Prior to that I used a filament printer for some time. I bought a resin printer because I liked the quality in smaller prints. I was not however excited about working with a liquid.My brother who has many resin printers suggested water washable to me. I have a clean and cute station but I didn’t like the thought of having a big tub of alcohol on the side and waste loads of it for the infrequency I print.I got a couple of bottles of this and it’s really easy to use. I take the whole plate off my printer after it’s had a short while to drip and put it right into the wash station with warm water in it. When it’s done I trim it and find it really easy to do once it’s been in warm water and then onto the cure station. Worth noting for those of you new to this - do NOT throw the water you wash it in or run any of the resin down the sink. That’s a good way to screw up your pipes. I have a spot outside where I dump the water away from where any animals would have a sniff around and where there’s no plants.I also don’t clean up my tank anywhere near as often as I should but I’ve found it’s no issue to stir around the resin with my finger, pour more in, stir again and go printing. Just again make sure there’s no UV light or direct sunlight anywhere near the machine.

My first time using an SLA pinter ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08FR39QJ7/ ) I read all the horror-stories of what can go wrong, but I was printing 10 minutes after unpacking and the first print was great. Look at the detail in that photo! (Glasses for scale). No re-work whatsoever on that model, just water wash and post-cure.This is the only resin I tried so far, but it's obviously easy for beginners. The exposure I used for that printer was 5 base layers at 30 sec each then 3 sec per layer (0.05mm layers) The resin is brittle, which I expected, but pretty strong and it does have a little flex - not like glass. Files and drills easily. Consider that I brushed those very fine railings you see on the photo with a toothbrush before realising that the delicate detail was there! The resin washes off quickly under a running tap and a light scrub with a toothbrush - then cure under a UV lamp. I intend to try more flexible resins, but this one works perfectly OK, and I cannot smell it at all.

This is my first foray intro Resin Printing. I have been using FDM printers for 6 years now, and I wanted to try out the MSLA option too. This is my first time using resins, and I chose this Elegoo Water Washable resin as a beginner.First of all the bottle came well packed, inside a box and sealed in a thick plastic bag so no real risk of getting resin everywhere I'd the bottle breaks. The bottle itself is plastic, but very strong and thick, and it comes very well sealed. It also had a small brush in the package.The resin smells. Quite bad. I can't compare it to other resins, but it is an acrid smell. I bought a respirator and filters for VOCs and I don't have any problems now. First time using it without a mask, it did give me bad headaches.Dialing in the resin wasn't very difficult. I used Elegoo's spreadsheet to match my printer settings (Elegoo Mars 3 Pro). The test print that came with the printer came out fine. I also did a Siraya Tech calibration which helped me dial in the settings further.This was washed in tap water (not in the sink). I think it doesn't clean very well the small details, but I used the brush that came in the package to get in every nook and cranny. Still, an ultrasonic cleaner would probably produce better results.I have cured the resin with a small UV light I have from smartphone tempered glass installation kit and it seemed to work well enough. I do need a proper UV light to do it.Even after curing there is a smell to the printed parts. I'm not sure if that's from the curing light not being strong enough. But you can only smell it if you hold the prints close to your nose.All in all I'm happy with this resin. I just wished it was cheaper.

Excellent product. Good quality resin. Good price too.

Used this product alot and it makes it so easy to print mini's

Having tried multiple resins, and like most people have had varying degrees of success, this is what I have settled on. Of course it may just be that the settings that I have dialed in match this resin, but any time I have a failure it is usually due to not having cleaned the build plate properly or problems with the model itself. Settings I use are as per photo

Goede prijs.

Excellent résine pour imprimante 3D résine .

Denna resin fungerar utmärkt för utskrifter.

Good quality for price, easy to clean with water and easy to cure big stuff as it is transparent. The red is less smelly than most resins, the blue is weirdly a lot worse.

Inget att klaga på, fungerar som det ska.
