eSUN eResin Water Washable - Black 0.5 Litre

With the increasing popularity of 3D Printing and in particular the rising trend of DLP & SLA Printers, we’re seeing quite a lot of growth lately in terms of different types of polymers and 3D Resins being produced, with various benefits and focal points that give each unique polymer some distinct advantages over others. This has been opening up awesome new opportunities for really specialising with certain prints, using some polymers for when you need strength, others for when you need precision, and even more still for when you want to imbue unique print properties such as flexibility or other cool attributes. That’s why we’ve been keeping our eyes and ears open for all of the exciting new developments in DLP & SLA, with these specialised bottles of Water-Washable Resins being some prime examples of the exciting new developments that we love to see.

Although it’s quite hard to argue against the fact that working with 3D Resins is a messy task, often resulting in blobs and layers of hardened resin randomly strewn about on the working space once post-processing is done. This is what makes eSUN’s specialised Water-Washable Resin so much more enjoyable to use than many of the alternatives on the market, as instead of having to prepare some IPA, Resinaway or similar cleaning agents and carefully handle them so they don’t cause their own problems, you can simply wash your prints in water once they’re done, making the entire 3D Printing process so much easier, less messy, and overall more efficient too. Furthermore, this specialised polymerisation also inadvertently makes resin printing less odorous both during printing and cleaning, and of course means that once you’re done post-processing your prints, they aren’t going to have that slight smell of alcohol or other harsh chemicals like typical prints can.

When compared to many of the bright and vivid colours that many other 3D Resins typically offer, this Black offers a more subtle but awesome benefit, as it really does well in emphasising all of the fine details and features of each and every print. This makes it a great choice for printing very complex models like the classic Batmobile print, although it still offers a great aesthetic appeal even when printing simple and low-detail models like the low-poly Pokémon and D&D characters that everybody loves.

If you aren’t quite convinced at just how awesome this eSUN Water-Washable Resin is, and would like a more personalised opinion on whether it might be worth it, take a look at this relatively short but very insightful Water Washable Resin Review by 3DPrintingPro, in which he demonstrates the basic quality of the resin, as well as just how easy it is to clean compared to standard resins:

Shenzhen eSUN Industrial Co., Ltd was established in 2002 in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and has rapidly become one of the leading international suppliers of 3D Printing Filament. They specialise in research, development and production of degradable polymer materials, and have grown their catalogue of filaments to include PLA, ABS, PC, PVA, and a wide range of other polymers and copolymers.

Their list of exclusive filament formulas include unique materials like wood, aluminium, bronze and other materials to create highly specialised filaments that can stretch, bend, be moulded or otherwise behave in very unique ways. Their filaments are also commonly characterised by their absolutely round shape, extremely low diameter tolerance, uniform colours and impressively stable melting points. These characteristics, in combination with their long-term insistent policy of “Best Quality, Reasonable Price” has garnered them a large share of the market, with their reputation commonly preceding them within knowledgeable online and offline 3D Printing communities.

eSUN’s popularity in the industry has also helped to produce sustainable partnerships with many internationally famous 3D Printer manufacturers and distributors, with DIYElectronics having sole distributorship rights to provide their 3D Printing Filaments to South Africa and neighbouring African countries.
