NOVA3D 3D Ultra Clear Resin 3D Printing Crystal Clear Tough Resin High Transparency Non-Yellowing Low Odor 405nm UV-Curing Rapid Resin for All LCD/DLP 3D Printers (Ultra Clear 1000g)

This resin prints fantastically clear, once it dries it gets a haze and I'm sure there is a way to post process it back to clear, maybe just a clear lacquer applied. Fresh out of the vat with resin still dripping they are like glass. I followed the manufacture times shown in the photo, the second set with 3 Bottom Layers, 20s Bottom Exposure time, .05 Layer thickness, 6 Normal Exposure time. My only other recommendations would be to make sure you have enough in your Vat because its really really hard to see how much is in there, it is incredibly clear.

I printed a trophy for our church's March Madness challenge and wanted a "glass" insert. Did some research and found this resin. It worked perfectly! There is definitely a learning curve to getting this stuff to print though. Be sure to check the recommendations on print speeds and curing times. I did a long wash on the print to remove excess resin and did a similarly long curing cycle. The flat print wanted to curve upward a bit during curing, but I was still able to get it into the trophy. Hit the finished print with a little high gloss acrylic for that true glass look.

I would give zero stars if I could. Don't get me wrong, the resin was very clear, but that is all it has going for it. Maybe you could get it to work with smaller objects, but this stuff does not work at scale, requires stupidly high exposure times, and is too ductile to actually print properly. My supports either don't attach or completely fuse to parts with no in between. Don't waste your time and money with this stuff.

I have a regular old Nova3D Elfin2, without the high powered Monochrome LCD. I didn't read anything about this Ultra-clear Rapid resin when I ordered it.There were strange rejects I'd never seen before. Thinking the trouble was part geometry, support structure, the usual stuff, I printed basic shapes. A cube and a cylinder, with tapered holes through them, to better diagnose failures.Bottom layer exposure of 30 seconds was enough for the Elfin2's aluminum build plate. (If parts don't stick, increase that time to whatever is necessary.)The rest of the layers (height 0.100 mm) needed a long exposure. The normal 5 seconds just left a gummy mess hanging from the plate.And 8 sec per layer was not enough. The most obvious flaw was parts didn't always adhere to the base layers. (See photos of wet parts, fresh off the printer).But 15 seconds worked. More time should be even better. Everything improved. Curing this stuff requires a lot of UV exposure. 15 seconds per layer is normally needed when light has a hard time penetrating, as with a black resin.I tried hard to make it go yellow but prints are water clear, as clear as when they went in, even after an hour in my curing chamber. One minute in that thing is enough to darken regular resin... The extra print time is worth the wait.They say it's "viscous". It's slimy and sticky and will bridge short spans. A dense forest of stubby supports under a part will probably become a solid block. Raise the model several mm off the plate so resin can drain away.After playing with it for one day I don't know much, but at least I know I can print with it. I expect there to be a few trade-offs for that crystal clarity.

This resin is easy to use as long as you follow the recommended settings. The resin mixes well with mica powders to create custom colors.

It's a bit harder to use than opaque resin when it comes to cleaning supports and paint, but it's really good at being a clear resin.

Couldn't get a good print with this, no matter what my settings were. Printed on a Elegoo Saturn.Not worth it, IMO.

The description and quality follow hand in hand. This by far is the clearest resin I have ever worked with. Just to see if it would yellow I left on of the Anycubic Trial Cubes outside for a couple days just to see what would happen. I was able to drop it in a tub of water and found out my white tub was actually egg shell because I stared at it so long trying to find it. As for the strength, I'm pretty impressed. I was able to print a single mother and a couple kids and she made it pretty apparent that she didn't need no man and moved out. 10/10
