@@ColinKlupiec I only tried the Solid Color Pigment brand, which is made for epoxy resin. It worked very well but it's only sold in tiny bottles. I've seen others successfully use Rit Dye on resin printed parts, with one advantage being that their bottles are quite large.
@@ColinKlupiec Anycubic have a resin colour kit. Pourable resin dyes are available and should work as well. I got a bunch of resin dyes but I need a white to test them with.
I really enjoy your videos! They’ve given me great ideas about different resins, especially since I focus on printing functional parts. I’m really new to resin printing, though, so I’m still learning a lot. Have you ever considered trying any of the Formlabs resins? There’s an ongoing discussion in their forums about using their resins with LCD printers, and it seems like it might be possible. I feel like Formlabs is a bit ahead in resin development. I recently watched a video featuring their Rigid 10K Resin, which is glass-reinforced, and I was really impressed. It would be awesome to hear your thoughts on it or even see you test some of their resins. Thanks again for your videos-it's hard to find content focused on functional parts on UA-cam, as most of it is about miniatures!
Hey, thanks for your comment and great feedback. I really appreciate it. I haven't tried Formlabs yet. But it's definitely on my radar. I'm currently testing some Ameralabs resin which so far is really impressing me. Antinsky also wants me to test their engineering resins, so it looks like more rocket tests are coming too. Plus I'll probably be testing heat resistant resins soon for electrical parts etc. Comments like yours encourage me to widen my testing methods. Stay tuned.
Thanks for your feedback. Really appreciate it. I’ve been planning to test Anycubic Rigid for a while now. It’s definitely on the list. I need to test some more Antinsky and Ameralabs resins first. Stay tuned.
Good pickup. I didn’t do the ‘warmed’ test this time because the performance was already so good. I only did the ‘warmed’ test because I thought colder conditions were making other resins more brittle. But it’s worth testing the Antinsky resin when it’s warm…stay tuned.
@@ColinKlupiec Nothing super critical tho. I have been printing with tough ultra now, its ok but parts are qute soft when its hot outside. They feel more like a hard tpu than "plastic". Do you have any polish roots btw?
I'm gonna try it out! It is one problem that I still haven't been able to tackle. For now I coat them with PU. Could also be interesting for you in order to give you the extra mm en tickness for an extra tight fit.
Fair point. Although, the parts were already a week or so old when I did the test. I just didn’t mention that. But, your point is quite valid. Perhaps I should take that last part and throw it under the hammer…it’s about three weeks old now. Stay tuned…
The white color is great because it can easily be dyed. This resin seems really promising.
Yes, I suppose it is an option to dye it. I must try that. Can you recommend a good resin dye?

@@ColinKlupiec It works really well but some color change resin properties quite a lot making it way more brittle.

Great video Colin,
I have just started printing with the Anycubic Rigid 100 I hope to see you review this in the near future

Unfortunatelly you missed a very importand test. How is it when part is warmed up?:)

Question: will it leave the white powdery residue due to friction? This is an issue when using these resins for threads
I don't know. Haven't tested that. But I'd say it might be likely. In my experience, most resins leave a white powdery mark when scratched.

Ok, so fresh part could be flexible. How do we know it still will be flexible after a week? If it's not it defeats sole purpose of this resin.
