eSun eResin-PLA Pro – Grey 1 Litre

3D Printing continues to impress at every turn, growing with each new model that comes out. We’re able to print with more precision each time and create beautiful figurines with mind-blowing detail. DLP / SLA Printing especially goes beyond what we may expect from an FDM Printer. These DLP printers don’t have to rely on gravity and heated beds, but instead utilize vats of photoreactive resins to create entire layers at a time, allowing for even more complexity in prints while also improving on the already-amazing quality and precision that 3D Printing has become famous for. However, faster printing times and gorgeous detail unfortunately come at a price and we don’t just mean the fair sum brands like eSun charge for their impressive quality 3D Resins. Anyone who’s spent a few hours with DLP Printers will know. 3D Resins are messy, smelly, and basically not the most enjoyable to work with, but they are also, dare we say it, worth every bit of agony. We particularly love eSUN 3D eResins which constantly have new colours and polymers, all high-quality and an eco-friendly alternative to standard resins. 

Slightly different from eSUN’s eResin-PLA Bio-Photopolymer, this eSUN eResin-PLA Pro offers more accuracy and high resolution for full texture prints. eResin-PLA Pro still provides an eco-friendly, biodegradable alternative to the many chemical-rich options that are available. This, however, doesn’t mean that it’s safe to touch, but what it does mean is that you don’t have to stress about throwing prints directly into the bin, while enjoying the exact same quality and other attributes that you could expect from eSUN Standard Resins. Just remember that it’s still important to utilise those gloves and facemask when working with these resins, since they still do have similar particles that can cause problems after too much exposure, but you can enjoy the fact that your 3D Resin Printing won’t be causing irreparable damage to the environment for your models and designs. 

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.
