ELEGOO ABS-Like 3D Printer Resin 3.0, 405nm UV Curing Photopolymer Resina for Mars Saturn Jupiter MSLA DLP LCD Impresora with High Strength and Toughness, Low Viscosity, Black 1000g

I have a Saturn Elegoo printer and I love it. This resin I use for most of my prints. It's very durable and prints very nicely. It can break easily but overall it's a very good product. I really like how my prints turn out. I've been printing small miniatures for board games.

I've enjoyed printing with this resin. I've had no failed prints due to this resin and will always purchase this brand and type of resin in the future for my Halot Mage S. I've been FDM printing for nearly a decade at this point. I find resin printing (especially with this resin) gives me far better quality prints in less time and this resin is nearly half the cost of the filament I typically use. FDM will always have it's place, but if I have a print that I can create in my resin printer, it will always be the one I choose for these reasons.

I love that elegoo makes space grey in abs resin. This stuff is stronger than standard plus, but just as inexpensive. Great stuff.

This is great for use in a mars 5 ultra. I use it to print miniatures and it works well. It prints good detail.

This is by far the best valued 'tough' resin I've had the chance to use. Prints quite cleanly and I can't notice any loss of detail over standard resins using my Saturn 4 Ultra. And so far the resins handled my usual rough handling of painted minis quite well. The only issue I had with it was it required a bit more first layer curing time than listed as it had a tendency to fail on larger prints on my particular bed. Certainly not as strong as some of the resins that have some more flex to them, but much less brittle than standard resins. For me, a great compromise so I can rest a bit easier taking my painted minis to tables. The way to product was listed made it a confusing choice between this or the newer 3.0+ resin, which was the same price, but this version at least is going to be my go to for minis I dont mind knocking around.

The transparent ABS-like v3 is great. Sets easy and offered no problems. The material once washed and properly cured isn't super rigid so it has some "give" so it doesn't easily break thin parts as other resin types will. Being transparent also allows you to get creative with using lighting to make an item glow (ie: putting LED lights under a model to have it be radiant throughout). It also mixes easily with colored transparent resins allowing you to tweak the intensity of the color (mixing a little transparent green with it works well for ghostly models).Note: you will need to adjust your settings as the green requires a bit more exposure to set correctly.

First things first, this new 3.0 formula is very fluid. I'm use to resins that are much more viscous but this one flows more like water than molasses. Non-of that is bad, in fact I think its better in theory, but I don't know because the prints I'm getting are just as good as previous formulas. I don't have any previous prints to make a direct comparison but they may be better with the new formula.Strength and resistance to breaks is good, I've dropped some small miniatures without a break on small parts.Cleaning is easy, the lower viscosity means the resin flows off the prints much faster and less needs to be washed off in the cleaning.Overall, I'm very pleased with this formula and will continue to use it for my miniature printing business.

Quick update:One negative that I'm finding is that it's super brittle. A lot of resins will kind of shear off if you cut them with a hobby knife, but this stuff straight up shatters, sometimes taking a good amount of the surrounding area with it. If you drop it, it will break. It seems like they're getting away from the "ABS" part of the name with this one. ABS and styrene have some give to them and they tend to bend (and turn white) rather than break. Still love the success rate and print quality though.***I've tried a lot of different resin brands and "types", and this is by far the best. It's way less temperature dependent than any I've used, for one.But the best thing is that I haven't had a failed print yet when printing multiple models at the same time on my Anycubic Photon Mono 2. Anyone who has one knows that it can often fail multi-model prints unless it's absolutely perfectly level, which is a pain in itself. This resin seems to give a wider margin of error in all respects. Definitely get this if you have a budget printer, it'll help cut down your frustration a lot.Now, with most resins, a good alcohol bath softens the supports enough to make them easy to remove, which is handy. This stuff doesn't, but it does respond well to hot water. It's an extra step, but it's much tougher resin so it's no big deal. Overall it's an A+!
