Chitu Systems Rigid 3D Printer Resin, Black, 1kg

I've used this resin several times with my Anycubic Mono X printer and their downloadable profile. I find it produces great results for boxes, prototype electronics enclosures, bobbins, and functional parts needing little clean-up afterwards. best used in a warm room becqause it is a little gloopy. There is some smell but not too bad and oof course it is nothing compared to the cleaning alchohol. I've been pleased with the detail it produces, in my case embossed or embedded text. I've also used it with threaded heat inserts which apparently should not work, but nobody told me until after I did it! aluminium bottle certainly reduces worries about storage but I found I did need to wipe the rim properly after use to ensure no dripples to make the cap stick. Not he cheapest but I think it is good value with low reject rates and good results. Although it is called rigid it does not seem as brittle as many competitors.

I haven't tested its full suite of stated properties, because I don't need those, but I bought this as I need a resin that could print a very difficult piece. Due to the need to keep the surface as clean as possible on the outside, and no suitable geometry for support placement on the inside, whilst at a weird angle to preserve many straight edges on a variety of oblique angles, and also keeping a low exposure time to preserve very fine details, I needed something that printed with a degree of stiffness before curing. This did it. Mostly. I've bought another bottle to keep trying, but I've gotten 95% perfection whereas other reason that produced other parts impeccably couldn't do even do half of what I needed. As I need to dye the resin (a dark sea green) for aesthetic and ease of inspection reasons, I've only tried the Grey and White. In my limited experience, the Grey is far superior to the White, although I was still able to yield very promising results with the White as well. In my experience the White, even when dyed, has a small yet significant amount of light bleed without necessarily being overexposed, which is something new to me.

This review is for the Black resin. I only ever use my resin printer to print functional parts. Tried many different brands and types in the last 5 years on different printers. I'm using this on an Anycubic mono X 6k. I mainly used ABS like resins of different brands. My main problem with them was shrinkage. Every resin shrinks somewhat during the curing process. Some shrinks more some less. I don't mind shrinkage as long as it is always the same level. With other resins even the exact same file printed and cured for the same time using the same equipment, same temperature etc... I ended up with slightly different sizes. This Conjure Rigid shrinks a little (probably a little less than other ABS like resins in my experience) but the difference is this always shrinks by the same amount so I can print the same pieces with the exact same dimensions time and time again!It also lives up to its name. It really is rigid once properly cured. Not rigid like cheap resins which easily shatter. It has some flexibility (very little though) and even when breaks it does not shatter to pieces. It's quite strong as well. Thick parts are hard to break anyway.It flows well but it is definitely not water thin. Pre heating the resin or your vat makes it flow much better resulting in better details and less failure.All in all I'd recommend this resin especially if you print functional parts or want your models to be durable. I'm sure there are other resins which have similar or better qualities but I have not found them yet especially not at this price!

First, it is ESSENTIAL that you use the correct setting for this resin, the settings are readily available online.With the correct settings a print, on my Elegoo Saturn 2, a print will take twice as long as a print using an ABS-like resin. However, for an engineered part the extra time is worth the wait. Shrinkage is really low, I scaled my first print by 0.3% but I need not have bothered, and the quality is outstanding.I have tapped M2.5 without issue.For my first prints I printed directly to build platform, I have yet to try supported prints.

First impression:👀 The resin pack comes well delivered in a stout box with a protective bubble bag to keep in in place and help contain potential spills – not that there will be as the container is metal with a good strong cap. The resin is a black colour, and since I am into printing replacement parts but also accessories for Warhammer 40K this resin should fit well with that. Like with any UV resin, this needs curing and I now have a rotating table and UK lamp to achieve that. Make sure that the resin is shaken before use but don’t go overboard.What I liked:✔️ The resin comes in an aluminium protective container that is lightproof so that the resin will not spoil prematurely, and has a substantial anti-tamper seal on the top around the cap.✔️ The resin density is high and the finished plastic bears machining, or even if you just want to apply some light finishing to the assembly surfaces on a Warhammer or other figurine. Sometimes it is better to achieve a good bond by inserting pins and this resin would be a good choice for that.✔️ I was pleased to see the print settings sheet include my Anycubic 4k printer and this makes setup easier. I run my prints overnight and there might be just enough left of the summer before I need to worry about the ambient environment.Anything I didn’t like so much:❌ The metal container bears a date of 24 February 2022, which must be the manufacture date. This resin has a shelf life of 18 months so having received this in mid-August, there is a year left to use this product. I don’t know if this is typical but my expectation would be to not have 1/3rd taken of the lifespan of the product before I got it. Having said that, this resin will likely be used up well within that time.Conclusion:✅ I want to design a shorter fin for my stand-up paddleboard. The fin needs some rigidity and is in the US style with a locking washer. This seems to be an ideal project for this resin, but it will take me some time to realise as I am going to have to design it myself, given the paucity of pre-done designs on the market. The resin will be a good match for the existing fins and hopefully will not need and post-print sealing. With the resin supplied in its metal bottle, there seems nothing to detract from this product and so I would recommend it.Thanks for taking the time to read my review, I hope you found it helpful.

One of the best and most cost effective resins I have found. The flexibility makes it particularly good for printing miniatures.I was tricky to find the setting but if you go to the chitusystems page and click support then downloads you can get them for your desired printer.Will buy again soon :)

Good though resin for small engineering parts.Keeps the details with normal settings. Agitated well before use, temp should be somewhere 24 - 30 degrees Celsius. I didn't had any failures with it.Mars 3 printer.

You probably won’t find a more robust resin than this. It’s consistently good, with just slight print settings adjustments for the different colours. I’d recommend a long soak in spirits, as the supports come away a lot easier after this.I’ve been using this resin for hard-used puppet parts and it really is strong. i very much recommend it.

Las impresiones son impecables, no hay fallos. El rendimiento justifica la diferencia de precio.

Sorprendente, es una chapa. Sin duda es una opción para piezas resistentes la que más me gusta. No olvidéis las gafas homologadas para la luz ultravioleta. Y cuando caducan las gafas. Siempre estás resinas en lugar ventilado. Muy resistente a temperatura .Fantástica resina.

Excellente résine, beaucoup plus solide que de la résine de type ABS. Facile a imprimer avec une Flashforge Foto 8.9, il suffit simplement de chauffer la pièce ou l'imprimante ce trouve a au moin 25 degré.

Until I used this stuff, I thought 3D resins were just chalky and brittle and not very useful for functional objects. It was a real eye-opener to try this resin!Prints come out sharp and detailed, like you'd expect from a standard resin, but are also really strong. I've had great print results and few failures with minimal effort.The parts take really well to sanding and paint, and seem more wear resistant than normal resins. It's still not as strong as a thermoplastic like ABS, (or maybe even PETG) but it's a big, big improvement.One of my favorite things about it is that the black is REALLY black. I've tried black resins that look transparent with thin parts. But this stuff is like ink, even the thinnest parts come out opaque. That does also make it pretty messy though. You have to be meticulous about cleaning your tank and build plate when switching resins.For some reason, the transparent blue color is rarely in stock and takes forever to ship, but if you can get it I highly recommend that as well. It seems to have the same mechanical properties as the opaque colors, with the benefit of looking extra cool.It is more viscous than standard resins, which is probably why they recommend printing at ~77F and above. I've been fine printing it in colder rooms, but it might be worth investing in a heater if you're using it in a garage in winter. It prints slow; I use 4.5 second layers on my Mars 2 Pro, where normal resins would be closer to 2 seconds.One thing to note, this resin has a weird reaction with alcohol. If it's left in too long, it gets overly flexible and will stay like that for a couple weeks until the alcohol evaporates (I guess?) and then it'll warp. I usually wash my parts for 3 minutes and pull them out as soon as possible.If you can justify the additional cost (about $40 for a kilogram right now) and don't mind the added print time, there really aren't many downsides with this resin.
