Elegoo Standard 2.0 3D Printer Photopolymer Resin Black

Elegoo Standard 2.0 3D Printer Photopolymer Resin Black is a high-quality photopolymer material specifically engineered for LCD and DLP 3D printers. This specialized black resin offers high precision, low shrinkage, and excellent stability, making it an exceptional choice for creating detailed miniatures, accurate prototypes, and complex engineering models with a smooth surface finish. The improved Standard 2.0 formula ensures balanced material properties, allowing the resin to reproduce fine geometrical details effectively while maintaining high hardness and shape retention after curing.

Advantages

The Elegoo Standard 2.0 photopolymer resin delivers high precision and exceptional dimensional stability, ensuring that intricate models and miniatures are printed with sharp details and minimal distortion. Its low shrinkage formula significantly reduces the risk of warping during the printing and curing stages, resulting in reliable and repeatable production outcomes. The smooth surface finish minimizes the need for extensive post-processing, saving time for hobbyists and professionals alike. Furthermore, the improved formula features a reduced odor for a more comfortable working experience and complies with RoHS and REACH standards while remaining completely BPA-free.

Suitable for

• Printing detailed tabletop gaming miniatures and figurines
• Creating precise functional prototypes and design models
• Producing complex engineering components with smooth surfaces
• General hobbyist and professional LCD 3D printing projects

• Color: Black
• Compatible printing technology: LCD and DLP 3D printers
• Formula version: Standard 2.0 with low odor
• Compliance: RoHS and REACH compliant, BPA-free

How to use

Before starting your print, shake the resin bottle thoroughly to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Pour the required amount of resin into the 3D printervat, making sure not to exceed the maximum fill line. Configure your slicing software with the appropriate exposure settings recommended for standard black photopolymer resins on your specific printer model. Once printing is complete, wash the finished model in an appropriate cleaning solvent such as isopropyl alcohol to remove any uncured resin residue. After cleaning and thorough drying, post-cure the model using a UV curing chamber to achieve final hardness and optimal mechanical properties.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your 3D printer uses compatible LCD or DLP technology and operates at matching curing wavelengths.
• Verify that you have adequate personal protective equipment, including nitrile gloves and eye protection, as well as a well-ventilated workspace.
• Consider the specific mechanical and aesthetic requirements of your intended projects to ensure black photopolymer resin is the correct material choice.
• Plan for proper post-processing equipment, such as washing stations and UV curing lights.

Usage recommendations

Always wear chemical-resistant gloves, protective eyewear, and a respirator when handling liquid photopolymer resin, and ensure your workspace is well-ventilated. Store the resin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, keeping the bottle tightly sealed when not in use to prevent premature curing or contamination.
