eSUN eResin Water Washable - White 0.5 Litre

With the wonders of modern 3D Printing giving us the ability to really let our imaginations come to life, it’s amazing that we can now print almost anything that we can imagine. However, although most 3D Printers are extremely accurate nowadays, sometimes ideas call for even more precision than what filament-based 3D Printers can produce, and that’s where DLP Printers like the Anycubic Photon-S and the Creality LD-002R really shine, using 3D Resins like this eSUN Clear Water Washable eResin to achieve even high precision and an even greater level of detail – with some extra benefits that make the entire process easier and more efficient.

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.

While it’s quite common to see DLP Prints done in black, grey, green and even light skin tone, white 3D Resins are far less common, but we must say that we’ve been surprised by just how good they look! The white colour does an incredible job at blending all forms of “layer lines” together, resulting in a very smooth surface with solid aesthetics. Furthermore, white also lends itself well to being post-processed afterwards, with a common method being air-brush painting. And with this in mind, we have quite a soft spot in our hearts for white, offering a nice canvas to get even more creative with if our prints call for it.

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.
