ELEGOO 8K Water Washable Resin Grey 1000g

Had a bunch of trouble with Rich Opto grey water washable resin, and plunked down a bunch of cash on the Ceramic Grey from Elegoo hoping a more established name might actually do what it's supposed to do. Checked the default settings for the machine closest to mine (the Mars Pro 2 for my LD002R with a screen swap) and wouldn't you know it, the test print was basically perfect. Finally a 3D printing company that actually put in the work. It might cost a little bit more, but I know where my money will be going.FWIW The test print also took a lot more to snap in half, and seemed more rigid before curing than the Rich Opto stuff.Edit: added a short time delay between movements and illumination which seemed to help a little with some odd bits of junk that were causing some problems. Also, if you let it sit for a little while, definitely mix it back up before printing. There's a bit of separation that happens and the darker bit sinks, so you'll wind up with failures in the first few layers.

Awesome product!! Thank you Elegoo!!!

I'd recommend this more expensive resin to those who are NOT just starting out. But once you have several successful prints done, switch to this resin for the best detail possible! I gave one Stat for sheer news, because the Grey is not transparent.

Excellent quality product and very low odor!

I have tested both the 8K Grey and the Grey Ceramic water washable resins. Both have printed well but overall they are incredibly brittle. Even under mild handling, you risk having small details and end tips/fine points break off. I have tried different curing times and treatments, but so far nothing has kept the figures I have printed from breaking or having any real give at all. Not really a resin that will survive a drop onto a hard floor or something (for example). It will simply shatter. This is just my own experience though, so your mileage may vary.
