If you are a newbie and do not know how to start out with a minimum investment? Get a printer!
We recommend you getting a value for money (200 $) LCD printer, such as an Anycubic, or a similar one (we do not sell printers, nor get commisions). Most of our 3D resins can be printed with high resolution even with low cost LCD printers. The initial investment for the printer is quite low, around 200 $ for a reliable one.
What about the printing resins?
We recommend you start printing 3Dresyn ENG3 Bio because it is odorless, bio-based, safer, and tougher than most competitors´ stinking eggshell resins in the market.
3Dresyn ENG3 Bio is tough, bio-based and easy to print at even low room temperature. It is excellent for value for money: 99 $/kg and 400 $ for 5 kgs! Ideal for testing, getting your hands dirty and used to 3D printing!
3Dresyn ENG3 Bio is supplied in clear, grey and black color:
- 3Dresyn ENG3 Bio Clear, Engineering Biobased resin
- 3Dresyn ENG3 Bio Grey, Engineering Biobased resin in grey color
- 3Dresyn ENG3 Bio Black, Engineering Biobased resin in black color
If you want to save money you can order a less mechanical resistant resin, such as:
- 3Dresyns Conceptual Design CD 3D resins, with prices from 50 to 70 Euro/kg:
- 3D resins for fast proof of concept printing: print fast, in less than 2-3 seconds per layer, on any SLA DLP & LCD printer with good results in terms of definition.
- it is less tough than 3Dresyn ENG3 Bio and more prone to suffer embrittlement if overcured
- supplied in 3 colors: grey (monomer free), cyan (bio-based) and red color, which changes to clear (bio-based) when exposed to light
Professional printer (optional next step)
If you want to push yourself, want to have more control of the printing process and print all our 3Dresyns portfolio, then you can add these optional gadgets and become a professional printer user:
- low cost (50 $ ) heating and temperature control units permit printing, with constant temperature at 25-40ºC, our best 3D resin versions: HV or High Viscosity resins, which exhibit superior toughness
- printing, washing and post processing of colored and clear "non hazy" prints can be easily done with our Instructions for Use IFU, with even low cost (100 $ ) wash and cure stations, such as the Anycubic Wash & Cure machine, or a similar one. Get a second extra washing container for fast & easy implementation of our IFU.
- the recommended value for money (<400 $ in total) printer setup, which includes printer, heater, temperature controller, wash & cure machine is ideal for beginners and professional production
- we do not get any commision for these hints and recommendations
