NOVA3D3D Printer Resin Ultra-Clear 405nm Rapid Curing Resin Designed for Monochrome LCD 3D Printing (1kg-new)

I got this for my creality LCD printer. Double the exposure time and you are good to go.

I usually only print with grey resins, more out of habit than anything else as I have my exposure settings at a level I'm happy with so there was a little fiddling around to get this to print successfully.I'd say by the end of the bottle (trying to print some larger prints too), I was about 50/50 success.This resin does seem to smell more than the standard grey resins I use, not particularly bad, but more noticeable. If you're sensitive to the resin smells then you may need to look at ventilation - I didn't find it necessary.Exposure times on my Saturn ranged from 4.5-5 sec per layer at 0.05 and the results were ok. The models were cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner which helped remove the hard to see excess resin. I cured the prints for varying times to see different results, from 5 mins to 30 mins and so far haven't seen any major yellowing, unlike other brands I've seen people have issues with.If I can get a more consistently successful print - which I'm sure will come with more exposure tests, then this would be a good resin to look at buying if you're looking for transparent prints.

I've tried several different 'clear' UV resins and this is the first one that truly lives up to the claims. Others have ended up slightly translucent rather than transparent, or discolour when curing so they are not perfectly clear.This resin however seems to be exactly what I've been looking for when creating those models that you want to genuinely look like glass. I tested this using an Elegoo Mars which generally works with most resins, but due to the makers suggestions about "stronger light" etc.... I wasn't sure if it would work well with that printer, but it seems to be fine. The models produced once washed and cured are nice and clear and have a good level of detail, so it seems all is well. Model strength is also appears good, removing the supports has not caused any issues yet which can sometimes be a problem with resins that produce 'brittle' models.The other big advantage to using a clear resin is you don't need to buy lots of different colours because if you do want a tinted coloured model you can simply just add some resin colouring to the clear one or even make your own custom colours. I think this resin could become my 'go to' brand for transparent models in the future!

Having read positive and negative reviews about this. I have tried it myself and regretted it. While the resin prints clear, it fails to complete anything. It clogged up my sieve when returning unused resin back into the bottle. Since it’s not one of the cheaper resins, I would recommend people avoid this one.

Lovely clear resin spoiled by the fact that none of the printed parts could be used. I used the Amerealabs Town for exposure calibration, everyone came out looking like a melted ice cube. Moving onto printing actual parts for models, the amount of excess cured resin around supports, overhangs, and detailing made every print unusable. Might be ok for solid low detailed parts, but not for more intricate pieces. Can't recommend this resin.

I've been printing for around 7 years, mostly FDM. More recently I've been working with SLA, the last two years.I don't use it often, but I was excited about this for some simple car and droid prints. Clear prints have never been an option for me before.Well, jees. How do I put this. This was so hard to dial in, i almost gave up. I had more fails than successes. In fact the good prints are still not great so I'm embarrassed to even show them.I would try this resin if you're an experienced 3d printing professional or enthusiast. Not for beginners!

this stuff is really clear if you can get it to print correctly.unfortunately i had zero luck printing with this resin as i kept on having failed prints.i tried to print several things on my sonic mini 4k but this stuff just wouldn't stick to the build plate at all, even with the recommend print settings.so unfortunately its being returned as for me it was a total let down

No matter what settings we used, based on all of the information available, on two different high-spec resin printers, this stuff will not produce a conherent item, with a 100% failure rate.An absolute waste of money. DO NOT BUY if you value your sanity.
