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 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.

Un po' difficile da utilizzare, sporca tanto l'alcool per il lavaggio, risultato medio

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

Sin experiencia en otras marcas, me decidí por una con buen precio. Debo hacer más pruebas pero ya puedo hablar de algunos pros y contras.Pros.Me ha parecido muy fácil de imprimir. El primer test ya era muy aceptable y un par de ajustes me han llevado a la configuración perfectaLas capas se despegan bien de la cama. Con otras resinas cuando se separa la capa de la cama suena como arrancar un velcro. Esta apenas se oye.ContrasDiría que huele algo más que otras que he usado, aunque sin olerlo en paralelo es difícil afirmarlo.Necesita un catalizado bastante más largo que otras resinas. Tras la exposición habitual al UV, en esta aun puedo marcar la pieza con la uña.

Not even remotely close to color advertised. Purple to blue, but anything thicker than a few layers turns brown. Print quality was poor as well with a 25% failure rate due to poor curing. Do not buy.

#Update# Even after installing a vat heater and increasing the exposure to 6 seconds, I'm still getting warped and failed prints. The failures appear to be the edge supports popping loose ftom the model. This resin needs heavier supports than standard gray resin. This resin left the top of my build plate caked in metallic bits.I've been trying to print for a week with the brass metallic resin. So far, I've had 1 successful print of a small ring. I've calibrated exposure settings to about 4.2 seconds a layer. My garage temp is on the low side, so I'm installing a vat heater and will retest and update my review. Resin doesn't seem to mix well, giving the model weird color variation. I will try using a mixer once my bed heater is installed.

Very brittle and extra large elephant foot on prints making it extremely difficult to remove for the plate even with the nice soak in IPA. We used all the setting suggested by this resin and produced nothing but scrap, reduced the setting (layers and exposure) to decrease the first burn layers and footprint and still produced scrap. After several attempts to run small model parts in 1:87 and 1:64 scale and yielded ZERO usable parts so we scrapped what little was left and went back to Anycubic resin. With Anycubic we immediately produced good parts off the first run with default settings. It's a simple case of you get what you pay for. Buy cheap resin, expect cheap results is the lesson to take away here.Maybe it works well with larger prints but for small prints it's a hard pass.

The mini shown was printed with 2s layer exposure, but I have printed with this resin as low as 1.2s exposure time, at 1.2 has a better quality printing, will need to apply PTFE to the FEP with 1.2s exposure, at the moment I bought it was really cheap12$, now is more expensive and there are better options at 17$ for 500g in print quality right now. The smell is not that strong. If it falls in your skin wash immediately this resin irritates the skin fast. The color is a pearly white or white sand. But the highlight is the Aluminum bottle which seals very well and preserves the resin, be sure to use the inner cap. I have printed with this resin in both Anycubic photon mono and Kingroon kp6 mono.La miniatura mostrada fue impresa con 2s de exposicion, pero e impreso otras cosas con menos tiempo hasta 1.2s con mejor resolucion, usando PTFE como lubricacion en el FEP. Cuando la compre estaba bien barata a 12$ 500g al precio que se encuentra en este momento hay posiblemente mejores opciones. No tiene un olor tan fuerte, pero si es irritante a la piel, no olvidar usar mascara o guantes. El color es un blanco perlado o el de arena blanca. E impreso sin problemas en una impresora Photon Mono y una Kingroon KP6 mono.
