NOVA3D 3D Printer Resin 405nm LCD Rapid Resin Standard Photopolymer Resin for LCD 3D Printing Clear Green 1000g

The black is translucent. I was expecting opaque, but I may not have read the description completely.This resin costs 1/2 the name brands... it would seem you get what you pay for.It does not adhere firmly to the build platform - the adhesion is quite weak and seems to occasionally let go as the print progresses.I can't say the detail level is not significantly different from more expensive resins, but this resin - more than the others - shrinks and warps. doesn't seem to matter what you do. Cure a lot, cure a little, rinse a lot, rinse a little - doesn't matter it's going to shrink. The lack of dimensional stability is indeed frustrating - not what I would expect from a resin printer. (My expectations may have been wrong...) My flat surfaces after a day or two end up bowed and curved.But by far the worst property of this resin is the durability - or lack thereof. It is extremely brittle. As time passes it seems to become increasingly brittle, to the point of being almost useless. I'm finding parts that cracked just sitting there. Even the slightest pressure results in cracks. Heaven forbid you drop something. It is not strong and it is super brittle.I may try mixing some plasticizer or something, but for now I have to abandon it. I am printing cases and automotive connectors that require some level of durability.

Quick recap: the print was done on a anycubic photon using the recommended settings: 60s bottom layer, 8 seconds cure time. Using Nova3D clear.I confirmed the settings with a exposure range finder test, this is the sweet spot for 0.05mmPros:- Great detail, no shrinkage or artifacts- Resin has a good consistency and it flows well- support removal was extremely easy, firm yet easy to tear off, almost no marks on the model itself. Cutting them before curing was great as it retains a bit of a rubbery texture- no adhesion problems- it has a very nice shine and sheerness so the unpainted piece looks greatCons:- it cures into warm yellow color, it was already looking yellowish on thick parts but it is very yellow after curing, just a heads up if you are not painting itOther notes:- after curing it feel good and solid but I am worried it may be too brittle (but not more than other resins)I can’t give it 5 stars because I was not expecting it to yellow, but other than that it is a great resin.

I am using the clear resin for the first from this manufacturer, and for some reason it tints orange while curing. I'm not going to say I am unhappy with it, the detail is great, the supports where strong, but came off easy. The extra all cleaned off well. I can't wait to paint them.Just don't expect completely clear.

I like they way it looks. seems to be pretty strong but then the item I printed with it so far dont have really tiny objects that can break off easy. hit it with a bit of clear and put a light under it and you have a really cool item!!

Just got finished with my first print with the green resin. I used their specs for exposure times. This resin has been fantastic. The smell is minimal and the prints are not nearly as brittle as the anycubic green. I will be buying this resin again in their other colors.I have the standard anycubic Photon.
