Power Resins Opaque 3D Printing Castable resin review

  • Power Resins are a provider of high end castable resins. I've been lucky enough to review a few of their products and here I review their "Opaque" casting resin for use on LCD, LED or DLP 3D printers. I'm limited by sample quantity, but I think I found a way to test its claims 😁

    i have the same problem, i am eager to try the black and wax resins but the lack of information about the settings for my mini 8k makes me still trust bluecast resins and the great customer support on their Facebook group. like you said $300 dlls and no information at all, i prefer to spend a little extra and have direct contact with the company for any issue. great review!

    • @vogman
      @vogman  2 роки тому +3

      Yes, we need Power Resins to sit up and listen to their customers / potential customers. In my case, for instance, the sample I received was NOT enough to fill the resin vat of the Mini 8K, so I was always limited on what printing and casting I could do. If I'd had good settings, then I could have done more for my viewers, offering them a better insight into this product.
      Now I'm lucky, I got my sample for free, but others would have paid good money for something they couldn't use properly because there's a simple lack of information.
      Power Resins need to follow Bluecast's example 😁😁😁

    Only 23 comments complaining about the same thing?. I had the terrible experience of contacting them, asking for settings for the Photon Ultra. After 3 WAP messages and 3 emails they finally replied with the settings for the A.P. ULTRA. Definitely going with Bluecast.

    • @vogman
      @vogman  2 роки тому +1

      Wow, that's not good. Now it's fair to say there is a language barrier here, but Bluecast have exactly the same issues and they're managing great. It sounds like Power Resins need to improve their customer care :-(

      I have a LOT of respect for Bluecast. Initially I was a little critical of their approach, but they listened to my comments and those of my viewers and massively improved their profile availability. THAT is the way to do business. By listening to their customers, they've gained MORE. Everyone wins 😁😁😁

  • @admiralbees1690
    @admiralbees1690 2 роки тому +2

    No VOG, don't use the bottle as a paperweight, dribbles from the side end up on your paperwork and ruin it! But it also makes me wonder is other companies will get hold of this resin and make a cheaper alternative 'inspired' by it...

    • @vogman
      @vogman  2 роки тому

      There's not enough resin in this bottle to 'drip' anywhere 😂😄🤣
      As for companies copying this formula, from the limited sample I've tried, I'm not sure they need to bother. Opaque certainly works, but I cannot definitively say its better or worse than any other resin I've tried, simply because I didn't have enough to test with 😁

    • @vogman
      @vogman  2 роки тому +1

      Now the thing with the purple goo is that they gave me plenty to try. That meant I could really get my teeth into the resin (not recommended - maybe that's why I ended up in hospital). And I would have happily used it in this casting experiment if it had not been for the UV curing issue.
      On another note, you heard it here first, it may not always be purple... oh yes, look out for more experimental videos with a new ST castable 😁

    • @vogman
      @vogman  2 роки тому +1

      You need a resin that does NOT require post UV curing as the hinge sections are pretty much hidden. As long as it's okay there, any castable resin should do it. When I cast the articulated dragon, I believe I used Resinworks 200, which is certainly cheaper than Power Resins Opaque 😁

    • @vogman
      @vogman  2 роки тому +2

      Honestly? I've no idea IF it's good enough. It's an expensive product and presumably they want me to promote it for them. But the sample they sent me did NOT even fill the resin tray of my Mini 8K. This meant I was always going to be limited on the number of prints / casts I could perform. And without settings, I wasted half of the opportunities.
      I like to speak fairly but candidly on my channel, so I stated the facts as I saw them. Expensive but does the job. I can't rave with enthusiasm or detail any problems (if there are any) because to do that, I need to use the product more... and I can't 😁
