Description
This is just a peek at the upcoming review for the Photocentric Tough UV Resin. I did a quick print just to see if my settings were close and will print some more parts for testing soon…
“The Tough is effectively a stronger flex. It’s hard to deform than the firm and has a slightly lower flexibility than the Flex does”
Packing
The bottle was double bagged then wrapped in lots of nice bubblewrap in a large box. The 1 Liter bottle has a nice no-drip style lid that is easy to pour.
Usage
Post Processing
Note: Objects will have full strength only after full cure time. The directions I was given that worked out well are as follows: UV post curing in water for 5 minutes a side, wiping with IPA on a cloth and then curing dry under UV for 2 hours (minus amount of time spent in the water UV bath) gives the best end feel and properties. After I cured the parts for 2 hours they became more stable and flexible. I have a few parts I will be testing to see how it holds up in the near future.

Hey mate.
Can you please compare this resin to FDM ABS. Is it as tough and flexible or will it snap as regular resin? Can you post a short video showing how it breaks (at what point after bending). Maybe you can print a sample plate (40mm long, 10wide and 1mm thick for example).
Thanks
PS: Do you know of any distributor of this resin in Australia?
It is slightly flexible depending on the thickness. More like really stiff ninja flex. Here is a video of a test strip flexing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNDYFz-1qtc
