Resin Standard Grey /1kg

Elegoo’s Standard Resin is a widely used material for LCD-based SLA (Stereolithography) 3D printing. It’s popular for its ease of use, affordability, and high-quality finish. Here’s a breakdown of the key aspects of Elegoo Standard Resin:

1. Formulation and Compatibility
UV Light Sensitivity: This resin is designed to cure when exposed to UV light, typically at 405 nm wavelength. It’s compatible with most LCD 3D printers, including Elegoo’s Mars series and other brands that use similar UV curing systems.
Consistency: The resin is engineered for a smooth printing process, producing highly detailed models with precise dimensional accuracy.

2. Material Properties
Strength and Durability: Elegoo Standard Resin is known for a balanced combination of strength and slight flexibility. It's durable enough for most typical applications like prototypes, miniatures, and display models, though it's not designed for high-impact or load-bearing uses.
Brittleness: Standard resin tends to be more brittle compared to some specialized resins (e.g., tough or flexible resins), meaning that parts might crack or break under pressure or sudden impact.

3. Surface Finish and Detail
Smooth Finish: This resin provides a smooth surface with minimal post-processing. After curing, the prints have a clean, professional look, which makes them ideal for detailed models, such as figurines or prototypes.
Precision: Standard Elegoo resin is capable of capturing fine details in models, making it suitable for projects where accuracy is critical, such as intricate miniatures or functional prototypes.

4. Color Variants
Elegoo Standard Resin is available in multiple colors, such as grey, white, black, and others. Each color may slightly differ in terms of how well it highlights details, with grey often being favored for prototyping due to its ability to clearly show fine features.

5. Post-Processing
After printing, the parts must be rinsed (typically in isopropyl alcohol) to remove excess resin, then cured under UV light for full hardening. Proper post-curing ensures the final print achieves maximum strength and durability.

6. Applications
Prototyping: Commonly used in industries for design and functional prototypes.
Miniatures and Figurines: The high-detail finish makes it perfect for hobbyists and designers.
Artistic Models: Its smooth finish and range of colors suit artistic and display models.

7. Handling and Safety
Toxicity: Uncured resin can be toxic and should be handled with care, using gloves and in a well-ventilated area.

Safety Gear: It's recommended to wear protective gloves and goggles when handling the resin.
In summary, Elegoo Standard Resin is a versatile and reliable material for high-detail, high-precision 3D printing, favored by hobbyists, professionals, and designers alike.
