RepRapper Brass MetalShift 3D Printer Resin 405nm Fast UV-Curing Standard Photopolymer 3D Printing Resin with Metallic Shine for LCD Printer, Gilded Glow 1000g

As other reviews have already suggested, it perhaps not what one is expecting based on the resin presentation that perfect metallic mask. However, the resin is definitely useful, not a total garbage and it works as a standard gold-ish resin. Nice level of detail as you can see in the photo and definitely shiny under the right light angle. Don’t expect much, and buy it if you want your prints to have that gold-ish look. I am satisfied. After calibrating I found almost perfect results in 3.75seconds exposure for normal and a 40seconds for base. An interesting thing I notice is that this resin doesn’t expand nor shrink really with overexposure or under exposure. I haven’t tested anything else above 4sec but I found it interesting to notice

I’ve used quite a few different SLA printer resins, and unfortunately, this one has been the worst by far. Fine details are practically nonexistent, and even larger aspects of my prints came out undefined and blurry. No matter how I adjusted my settings, the resin just wouldn’t produce sharp, clean results.On top of the poor print quality, it was a pain to clean. It left behind excess cured residue in places where it shouldn’t have—something I haven’t experienced with any other resin. This led to messy, unusable prints with extra material where there shouldn’t be any.To make matters worse, the resin yellowed within just a few days, completely ruining the crisp white color I was expecting. If you need a high-detail, clean-printing white resin, this is absolutely not the one to get. I won’t be using it again.

Printed quite a few functional parts, it's got almost no odor, the impact resistance of the cured parts is fantastic as far as resins go, and held up to a few strikes from a hammer before fracturing, but it didn't splinter or create sharp edges.Casual drops of figures or the like made from this will probably survive fine. The flexibility is not great though, so i wouldn't consider it that close to nylon. It also really gums up your alcohol bath, even small amounts take over your alcohol and stay seated at the bottom of the tank even during agitation.

I am building D. von Braun's bottle suits that were designed in the '60s for a diorama I'm building. I got this resin to make the bubble canopies of the suits. It took several tries to get it right. The resin would print alright, but I was having trouble with supports and getting the canopies "crystal clear". I worked out the problems I was having with the supports and the canopies came out very clear, until I washed them. I got some ultra clear polyurethane and dipped the canopies in that. This worked very well, it's not completely glass like, but is still pretty clear. I'll buy this again.

I've only tested the brass metallic, but not very impressed. I've printed this model many times with my usual resin and never had any failures, so please ignore the failed supports and what not, I spent no time dialing in the resin settings and just used what the website said to use.First off this resin is brittle, like shatters getting it off the build plate brittle, lowering the burn in layer time would probably help. I had to run very hot water over my build plate to get it off.Second, it doesn't look all shiny and metally like the example pics on the listing, it's more of a dark yellow with a little glitter. Maybe if I used a model with more bends and whatnot maybe it'd look better, but that's not what I wanted to print.Will I buy it again? Probably not, still need to test the silver and red but if it's like the brass I don't see myself buying it again.Gave it 3 stars because it does work, details are good, it's just not a metallic as it made it seem to be.

I tried several prints using the brass-colored resin, some prints small and others large on a [monochrome] Anycubic Photon M3 Premium with recommended nominal settings for such a monochrome printer. I was sure to make the lift speed slow (~4 mm/s) and the lift height high (> 10 - 12 mm). I had trouble getting prints to finish without defects or altogether failing by coming off the supports, which is not something I have experienced with any other resin. When I did get the prints to finish, the final product was never uniform enough in color to consider to be a good print. I thoroughly mixed the product in the bottle and in the vat and I also tried thoroughly mixing several times in the vat throughout a print duration. The best I could do with the brass was ugly. I honestly don't even want to try the other two colors that came in the pack.When designing (and hopefully properly testing) a resin, unless it exhibits some magical, unobtainable properties as a trade-off, it has to be user-friendly in the sense that the resin is okay with reasonable manual mixing and then sitting in a vat. The print coloring has to come out at least somewhat uniform unless the intent of the resin is to be completely non-uniform or necessarily painted over. I think it's time to hit the lab again.

I haven't seen any reviews for the Flex and have to say with a little bit of trial and error this stuff is amazing. I went through quite a few bottles but I'm trying something a little different than what most would use it for. Along the way I've learned that you can easily tint the white resin any color using concentrated pigment (use sparingly), Mica powders, and alcohol inks (I used Pinata brand) with some absolutely wild results. The initial burn layers should be set to somewhere around 60 to 65 and the remaining layers I've found our best set at between 7.5 and 8.2. You really can't go wrong with this stuff and it's a third of the cost of some of the "rubber-like" resins.
