Water Washable 3D Printer Resin

Sunlu is quickly becoming my go to resin for printing. The ease of it being water washable, plus the low odor, has made it very easy to use. I currently am using it on a Egaloo Saturn 4 Ultra and have had no issues with print quality. The amount of detail the resin is able to produce is astounding. Just see some of the under 40mm prints I have pictured below. Even the clear resins are fantastic, I have a Saturn V rocket model print that I am turning into a night light using the light blue clear resin. Color is very pure and clear. I have even used them to make sowing items for my wife. Durability is on par with other resins, as brittle as normal plastics that you would buy models in.

Water washable minis are nice, much easier for many purposes, the detail is not the best but still more than enough for most normal purposes. The resin is plenty strong from my work so far, still be careful with it like all resins but it's not a weak one. And the cost is just great. Water washable means no dealing with IPA, wich saves even more money, and is just nicer to be around, less fume hazard from that, still use mask when working with resin anyway though.Personal tip, first let the minis sit on the printer an extra hour or at least half hour once done so they drip resin off. Next, put them in one small tupperware with warm to possibly almost hot water and shake around a bit. This loosens the supports up for easy removal, and gets the majority of the initial remaining resin off. Once you remove supports, then rinse/wash them in a second small water container. With two containers, the second one will remain pretty clean with most of the resin first dripping off and then rinsed in the initial warm water. So the second one lets you clean them really nicely. If you don't do two stage cleaning you will notice a residue/sheen left on these, not that bad just worth notice if you want the best minis you can get with it.EDIT: Some photos, the harlequin is in 20um layer thickness on a phrozen 8ks mini using the SUNLU Water Washable Resin Grey, on the larger pic all the grey non painted ones are also using the resin, though some at 50um layer thickness, in genera though I think you can tell that it's got plenty of great detail on it. Easily good enough for the vast majority of prints, even with some finer textures or stuff.

Trying out many varieties of water-washable resin lately to get my Mars 3 back into business - Sunlu took the gold just on its first print.I can ideally dial some settings to deal with through holes, Mars has always been a little touchy with tiny holes because of the resolution the 3 is at. Thats just the printer's problem, and the one model is so small to push the printer, the other accidentally broke on my own fault.. but the quality was still so well to see. The resin itself did a killer job. It washed off extremely well, compared to some other brands that can seem to leave a film on my platform, and undoubtedly the print itself. Needing to almost be scrapped, and alcohol needed, which defeats the point.Look forward to more prints and Sunlu being a goto! Definitely try it, you won't be upset.Mars 3:0.05 layer height8 bttm layer count3.0 exposure time35s bttm exposure timeGood starting point

Good for models but if too thin or too thick they will crack or shatter. Any model with moving parts should be made with ABS-like resin from Sunlu.

I have printed four statues with this resin: Hircine, Meridia, Mephala, and Molag Bol. This is my go to resin now. The detail is stunning. Clean up is quick. Scent is low. It is rigid when dry. Holds paint amazingly well. Honestly, this is some of the best resin I have ever used and I keep 2l of it on hand at all times now. I cannot imagine printing statuary with anything else.I've only printed one small print with it (Dagoth Ur) and it was incredibly adorable and also well detailed. Sadly, I didn't keep a photo of it before I shipped it off to the friend it was meant for.

Worked well, The color makes for a good base when printing models or items that you intend to paint.

This stuff is good but not very water washable. the truck in the image was rinsed and scrubbed with IPA and cleaned up nicely, the rock formation in the image was rinsed in IPA and scrubbed with hot water and dish soap. When cleaning with water even after an IPA bath the model was left with a tacky resin residue over the surface that shows up as shiny after curing.-Not very water washable-More durable than any other "water washable" resin I have used, this stuff is much less brittle.-Dimensional accuracy is good-Good bed adhesionHonestly the stuff is really nice especially for the price but I would not consider this water washable

I have been 3D printing for several years now on a Elegoo Mars 2. I generally have issues every 3-4 prints. A lot of it has been beginner errors, but I will say this. Since I tried this resin I have had none. I am almost done the bottle, around 12 prints later. The stuff is strong, has a lot more give than other resins. Has the least smell of any ive used. I still use isopropyl to clean the prints before water, but the ability to just use water, expose it to UV and then dump it is incredible. Saves tons of time. It also is a LOT more liquid and less viscous than other resins. Most resins are like white glue, this is like cough syrup. So suction isnt a problem for me anymore. Nothing is getting ripped off supports from the suction force. I am going to be trying their other stuff because of this. I havent seen a downside to this, including price. The bottles are easier to store, easier to handle. The smell, the quality, everything is 10/10.
