eSUN eResin Tough - Grey 1 Litre

With 3D Printing taking the world by storm over the past couple of years, and Makers from all over the world getting involved in this new form of desktop fabrication, we all now have the opportunity to take ideas and designs from inside our head and translate those directly into real world objects. However, while FDM printing has become quite widespread already, DLP & SLA Printing has taken a bit of a backseat, and that’s primarily due to the fact that until rather recently, 3D Resins have been quite limited in terms of material (or polymer) selection, but that’s rapidly being remedied by eSUN’s continuously growing range, which of course includes the eResin Tough Range, as this range takes all of the best printing qualities of eSUN eResins, but enhances them with additives that greatly boost the strength, toughness and durability of each and every print.

When looking at DLP & SLA Printing in general, we don’t often think of prints that can handle high levels of stress, impact and other physical forces, but that’s because polymers from the past were simply limited by the number of different types and blends available. Nowadays, however, with awesome polymers like the eSUN eResin Tough Range, you don’t have to be limited by a lack of choice, and you can finally get 3D Resins that actually cater to higher intensity applications that can actually handle mechanical use cases. This, along with the many other ranges of eSUN 3D Resins, have made DLP & SLA Printing so much more enjoyable and also functional, and we’re always eager to welcome more 3D Resins to our growing catalogue – with Tough Resins being some of the key ingredients that Makers need to really take advantage of the awesome qualities that DLP Printing can offer.

When choosing between colours for DLP Printing, many people initially consider getting some fun colourful Photopolymers that really stand out with vibrant hues and shades. However, users who like to post-process prints by painting them or otherwise giving them a fresh new layer of extra colour on top will understand that Grey is typically the best choice to use, since grey can act as the perfect primer to ensure that whatever other colours you use really stand out once applied. Furthermore, grey does an excellent job at highlighting various features, corners and planes, and this makes it more enjoyable to post-process, as it’s rather easy to imagine various colours being applied to each distinct detail of the print, while the neutral colour also means that you won’t have the ever-common problem of colour bleed-through from the underlying material. So if you love post-processing and painting all of your DLP Prints, or if you simply love the sombre and sleek style that grey offers for prints, then there is simply no other colour that can compare.

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.
