Grey - 3D Resin Solutions HARD Rapid ABS - 1 kg In stock

My main skepticism came from the fact that both this (Hard) and the Standard V2 resin have almost identical stats, with the exception of slight difference in tensile strength and flexure strength, but apparently both have 85D hardness and 3-4% elongation at break (which would typically mean the resin is hard but brittle). With this being marketed as something for prototyping and standard being marketed as perfect for miniatures it's a bit confusing looking at the specs. Look around and look at other resin's specs and you'll find that resins for miniatures typically have 75-79D hardness and ~7-15% elongation at break. Why? So that it isn't brittle. That being said, having tested this resin and even based off what other people say, they say this resin isn't brittle and that's very much true... but it isn't hard either. From my testing, at 5 minutes of cure time, this clocks in at ~79D hardness. At 15 minutes and 25 minutes, it can go to around 81.5D and 82D respectively (tested at 22C). I don't have way accurately measure tensile strength/modulus, but compared to other resins that claim they have similar specs (around 50-65 MPA), this clearly falls short. Compared to resin's I've tested and I tested quite a few, I would estimate that this resin's tensile strength is closer to 35-45MPA (at least at 5 minute cure time). This resin seems good for miniatures, but this is being marketed as a hard resin. There's other resins that perform much better at cheaper price points.

I can't believe there's no reviews on this Resin yet! This stuff is amazing! I was using the Elegoo brand resin since I got my elegoo Pro last year; I switched over to this back in March 2021 and I have no regrets! The consistency is amazing and I'm finding that I can start painting my miniatures/models immediately after curing, without priming! I'd strongly recommend the 3DRS to anyone using resin for printing
