phrozen Aqua Vanilla 8K 3D Printing Resin, Designed to Showcase Highly Detailed 3D Models & Works Best with 8K 3D LCD Printers (1KG)

I recommend doing a print exposure test first, but overall, if you're aiming for quality and detail in your prints, this resin is perfect.

Love it, easiest resin I’ve use with the best results I’ve got. Keep in mind I’m using a Prozen Mighty 8K and Mini 8K. The smell is mild, just use protection and VENTILATION is a must! Strong resin with great detail. It’s not the cheapest resin out there but it seems you get what you pay for in this case. I like Phrozen resin, but I love it when it’s on sale! If Amazon wants my business put Phrozen resin on sale.

Can't really go wrong with this in the Phrozen Mighty 8K. Perfect match. I've been using this exclusively in my Mighty 8K since I purchased it (also on Amazon) over a year ago and it's never let me down or disappointed in quality and ease of printing. The only failures I have using this are due to user error (supports); the resin itself is excellent. It does have a bit of an odor to it, but very few resins out there can claim they don't. However, it's not nearly as bad as some other brands I've tested in other printers I have. It cleans up/off easily enough and very rarely does it leave a sticky residue behind. Again, if it does, it's usually my fault for not cleaning out the wash station with fresh alcohol or not leaving it in long enough. Clean up of supports is also pretty easy with this compared to some other resins I've worked with. Settings are just right where even the heaviest supports just brush off leaving very little surface defects.

Just as advertised

I've had anycubic resin (normal and eco), and Siraya Navy Grey. This is better. The details are around what Siraya Tech Navy Grey offers but the supports are easier to remove, less holes /issues on prints and less flexibility. The print is strong and doest bend as much when removing supports so cleanup is alot easier. The picture has Siraya Tech navy Grey on the left and Aqua-Gray on the right

The is the first (and only) resin I've used it my Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8K. So I can't compare it to any other resins yet, just give my observations. The only comparative I can make is that it's twice the price of most other resins. Maybe you get what you pay for, I can't say yet. Detail seems good. Again, I can't compare to other resins. The setup was nice. The printer already has built in settings for it, though mine needed some tweaking, and still might. Smell-I dont feel it is that bad. I'm not overly sensitive to resins-Ive used various epoxies and even worked in fiberglass composites. This definitely has an odor, but I dont consider it excessive. The only issue I've had really is it always seems tacky. Maybe all resins are like this, but even after full cure (total about 30 minutes in a cure station in various positions) it still feels almost sticky. Things don't actually stick to it, just feels sticky. It is fairly flexible before full cure, but won't return to true. It's also fairly brittle after full cure. Again, maybe common to all resins, I dont know. I've had some other minor issues, but I can't say it was the resins fault. I've had one item stick, but I think the supports failed and it stuck to the vat. I've had 2 miniatures that have had parts that simply didn't print. No evidence they stuck to the vat, or broke off, they just didn't seem to print at all. Another after a print, I pulled a glob of semi dried resin from the vat. The print was fine, no issues. Just a glob of resin sitting in the vat. Overall, I can't complain about it. It works. I intend to try some other cheaper resins to see if the higher price of this is worth it.

Using it for detailed printing all the time; it cures well. Do not overexpose it to UV as it quickly becomes brittle.

So while this is a great resin that does exactly what it's advertised to do, it is one of the most expensive products on the market. I took advantage of a discount to get a refill, as I've done about five prints with the Mini 8k and it's petite build plate and have probably gone through about 50% of a bottle, though many of those were very small objects like mini' bases. Over all, if you have a high resolution printer, you'll get high resolution prints. This resin is a bit thicker than others, so just be aware of that while pouring as it takes a hot minute to spread through the vat and you can be 1/2 full before it fully touches the sides of the vat.
