RepRapper Brass MetalShift 3D Printer Resin 405nm Fast UV-Curing Standard Photopolymer 3D Printing Resin with Metallic Shine for LCD Printer, Gilded Glow 1000g

Absolutely terrible resin. The metallic gold is absolutely terrible. It separates extremely quickly, prints very poorly if at all, and of course is somewhat expensive. Never buying this brand again.

As other reviews have already suggested, it perhaps not what one is expecting based on the resin presentation that perfect metallic mask. However, the resin is definitely useful, not a total garbage and it works as a standard gold-ish resin. Nice level of detail as you can see in the photo and definitely shiny under the right light angle. Don’t expect much, and buy it if you want your prints to have that gold-ish look. I am satisfied. After calibrating I found almost perfect results in 3.75seconds exposure for normal and a 40seconds for base. An interesting thing I notice is that this resin doesn’t expand nor shrink really with overexposure or under exposure. I haven’t tested anything else above 4sec but I found it interesting to notice

The good, when the light hits it just right it looks cool, good flexibility. The bad, prints come out with poor dimensional precision, skewed and warped, when the light doesn’t hit it just right it is a funky translucent brown, and it is extremely messy. Thoroughly clean your entire printer after every print and change your washing IPA after you’re done, the metallic pigments will clump together in your vat potentially causing crashe that can cause failed prints or even damage your printer if you try to print back to back prints, and they ruin your IPA. Lots of cleanup involved. Overall it works, but do not use it for parts that connect together, they will already be skewed and warped before the print is even finished, this is for figurines and stuff. Also very brittle and messy to break off from the build plate, leaving chunks everywhere.

Printed great, just wanted to share a video of actual results. The color was not what was expected, but it looks ok. Hopefully seeing the different angles helps you make a decision if this resin works for you.

Just trying to print a simple box that I have done with other resins just fine. This stuff just won't stick to itself, prints fail after several layers. It also has clumps of something in it, which I'm guessing is the metallic flakes feature. This is the worst resin I have ever tried to print with, sadly it is one of a very few with the gold metallic effect I'm looking for. Going to keep trying, but I don't have high hopes to get a successful print from this stuff.

#Update# Even after installing a vat heater and increasing the exposure to 6 seconds, I'm still getting warped and failed prints. The failures appear to be the edge supports popping loose ftom the model. This resin needs heavier supports than standard gray resin. This resin left the top of my build plate caked in metallic bits. I've been trying to print for a week with the brass metallic resin. So far, I've had 1 successful print of a small ring. I've calibrated exposure settings to about 4.2 seconds a layer. My garage temp is on the low side, so I'm installing a vat heater and will retest and update my review. Resin doesn't seem to mix well, giving the model weird color variation. I will try using a mixer once my bed heater is installed.

Was disappointed of how this would not calibrate or produce a viable print. The amount of Mica powder would not allow proper curing during the print cycles. Tested for calibration using the starship model by 3DRS. No matter what exposure time it would not print well.

the instructions that it came with were very helpful. If you follow them exactly you may get an ok print. I was trying to print off a card like object about 3x2 inches and about 1/8 inch thick. Orientation matters to get decent coloring. however the orientation I needed caused way too much post processing problems. The side you want to look metallic needs to be parallel with the screen so for a card the is pretty much flat. this stuff is hard to get to adhere to the built plate I was able to get a few prints with rafts but the supports made the card unusable. it wouldn't stick directly to the build plate. and rotating it so it was perpendicular to the built plate made the color look awful. I have no idea how they printed the model for the product page but I doubt it was printed with this resin. It is way too finicky for my liking. will not be buying again.

The resin is theoretically given a metallic look by some glorified glitter in some orange transparent resin. I say theoretically because it doesnt work at all. The glitter doesnt make it look metallic and instead just makes your supports fail exactly 50% of the time in my experience. To top it off since youll be draining fails out of your vat alot it clogs those paper funnels like crazy so if you have a large printer youll need 2 to empty your machine.

propaganda enganosa, nao fica brilhante.

Besides not being gold or metallic, it's not very good resin either.

Full of large orange particles that clog filters in no time. Once filtered, the resin is working ok but nothing impressive.

Crumbled when printed willth all different settings.
