Resin
For my resin projects I tested the following:
- Standard 14K Resin (Walnut): A versatile resin in a beautiful walnut wood color.
- ABS-Like Resin (Clear): A robust resin with a transparent finish.
Projects and Experiences
With both types of resin I printed the famous Elegoo towers and three figures in different sizes. The results were almost perfect, with sharp details and smooth surfaces.
- Walnut Resin: This resin gave my prints a unique and natural aesthetic that lends itself well to decorative models.
- Clear ABS-Like Resin: This resin was extra durable and ideal for both functional and aesthetic prints.
Prices for the resin range between £14 and £19, which is very competitive - especially considering the high quality.
Conclusion
Sunlu has once again demonstrated why they are among the leaders in the 3D printing materials and accessories market. Their products deliver a combination of quality, ease of use and value for money that is hard to beat. Their filaments make it easy to achieve both robust and decorative prints, while the resins ensure sharp detail and durability for more complex projects.
The FilaDryer S4 in particular stands out as a must-have tool that extends filament life and significantly improves print quality. Its intuitive design and smart features make it a valuable addition to any 3D printer setup.
Prices start from £10 for filament and £14 for resin, and with the current Christmas promotions, there's plenty of money to be saved. This combination of affordability and quality makes Sunlu an obvious choice for both new and experienced users.
Overall, I'm very happy with the products and highly recommend them to anyone who wants reliability and innovation in their 3D printing. Whether you're printing functional components or decorative elements, Sunlu products will help you achieve professional results.
