For my needs, this is a great resin. It is a little brittle, but I print rather thick. The grey is a solid color and quite opaque. The black is a bit transparent, but I pain most of my prints, so no problem there. Much better value than having to maintain alcohol washes.

I've used four bottles of the grey and one jug of vanilla, mostly for miniatures and 1:6 scale figures, and both colors are impressive in their own ways. The grey really makes details pop, even tiny creases and textures in clothes or armor come through cleanly. It’s an excellent neutral tone for painting or displaying raw. The vanilla has a soft, semi-translucent look that feels more natural and is perfect for sanding and priming. The texture when cured is very smooth, not brittle or chalky. You get a nice hard finish that holds detail without flaking or cracking. I’ve never had prints split or warp, even with thin pieces. The thickness of the resin out of the bottle is just right—not watery, but not too thick either, which helps reduce bubbles and keeps flow consistent in the vat. No leakage issues with any of the bottles I've received. The caps stay tight, and I haven’t had resin creeping out during storage. I leave this in my printer’s vat for days sometimes with no curing or separation, though I stir it before reusing. Value for money? Absolutely. It’s priced lower than a lot of 8K resins, especially considering it’s water washable. That alone saves on IPA costs and cleanup time. Just rinse with water and a soft brush (included with every bottle), cure your rinse water in the sun or a good UV flashlight, and you're done. For me, this resin hits the sweet spot of quality, convenience, and affordability.

In comparison to stand grey resin, the quality is much sharper (minis printed at 35 sec base layer cure, 3 sec layer cure, same settings as standard) and is a bit thinner in viscosity. Washing with mean green works well and rinsing in water or IPA gets rid of residue and any uncured resin very well. The smell is a bit more intense than the standard resin, but otherwise a great quality resin that can save some money on supplies.

I am new to resin printing. I have had a FDM printer for a long time now. I was concerned for a long time about dealing with the resin. The cost of having to have a lot of alcohol on hand, the odor, and keeping everything clean was concerning to me. Decided to try the washable resin to see how it did. I was initially concerned that this would be inferior to regular resin and although easier to deal with, would create worse prints or be more fragile than regular resin. I am glad to say my fears have been unfounded. The prints so far have come out fantastic and with great detail. I have had a few issues, but that was due to support layout (learned my lesson about using the autosupport function in my slicer, it isn't close to enough supports). The cleanup has been a breeze with just water. I also got a small ultrasonic cleaner. Works so great with just plain water. I found that a 3 step cleaning process gets all the lose resin off. I use a pickle bin first to rinse it right from the printer to get the heavy stuff off. I swish it in basket for 10 seconds or so. I then remove the supports and put in the ultrasonic cleaner and run that for 4 minutes. I change the water and run again for another 4 minutes. After that I let air dry and then cure when fully dry. That process took some trial and error. My first prints I just washed in the pickle jar and was getting a heavy white powdery stuff on the print. Did some googling and determined I wasn't cleaning enough. I then used the ultrasonic and it got better but not perfect. That is when I did the second wash with clean water and then fully air dried the pieces before curing and now I get perfect prints with no powdery stuff on the outside. I also don't have to do a lot of manual scrubbing that I don't have time for. I figure the cost of the ultrasonic cleaner is definitely offset by the fact that I don't need any isopropyl alcohol at all. Which is good because that stuff stinks up my shop when I use it. Speaking of odors, the resin does have a slight odor. You can smell it and it has a distinct odor, but I don't think it is strong at all and so far has not been a problem which is good because I can be sensitive to odors. With the lid closed on my printer and the bottle closed, I don't smell anything. Only when pouring new stuff in the vat do I smell something and then it quickly dissipates.

As a modeler and miniature painter this is my go to liquid resin. It’s very low odor and easy water clean up. I have used a regular liquid resin and the smell was unbearable. Don’t get me wrong this does have an odor. But it is low odor and won’t fill your whole house with a chemical smell. I don’t have a dedicated hobby room so I get my 3-D printer out and print what I want to print and then put everything up. So usually I’m running my printer on my dining room table. The older doesn’t fill the whole house. Just for informational purposes my resin 3-D printer is a Creality LD 002H. It regularly goes on sale a little cheaper here. You just have to keep watching for the price drop. Usually when I catch it a little cheaper. I’ll buy two bottles at a time. I go through a bottle every four months that doesn’t seem like a lot but I paint everything I print before I buy another bottle so I’ve been using this resin for probably a little over a year. That also tells you that it has a decent shelf life after opening. I’ve seen no deterioration in my prints from the first print out of the bottle to the last. Just make sure you keep your lid tight when you store it. But don’t tighten it too tight because the top cap sometimes will crack. Pros… Very reasonable price. Low odor. Water clean up. Comes in a variety of colors. Has a good shelf life after opening. Cons… None really. The only trouble I have had is on a few of my bottles if you tighten the cap to tight it cracks at the very top of the cap. So when you go to shake the bottled up it will leak out if it is cracked. That’s not really the product tho. That’s the packaging. Overall, if you’re into 3-D printing and using a liquid resin, this is a good reliable resin.

This is probably my new go-to for a blank slate resin. Being water washable, you don't need to worry about having large quantites of IPA around to clean your prints. The smell is much less than normal resin, and with proper ventilation your space doesn't hold a lingering scent. But, the main reason this is a new go-to is the color. By default, this has an almost clay color, which makes painting and styling work incredibly well. Even if you want a solid color piece, it makes busts look like an unfinished clay or very light terra cotta statue. Prints can run with good fidelity, and it holds well.

This is my go to resin. Lovely fidelity. Water cleanup is bonus. Had bad skin reactions from other brand’s fumes but Elegoo has yet to bother me even with actual accidental skin contact.
