Beschreibung
The worst part of resin printing has never been the printing. It is the twenty minutes afterwards, when a finished model sits in a bath of isopropyl alcohol and the whole room smells like a solvent plant. Water-Washable Resin 2.0 exists to delete that step. The photopolymer is formulated with hydrophilic groups so residual resin rinses away under a tap, which turns post-processing from a ventilated operation into something you can do at a kitchen sink without opening a window.
What changed in the 2.0 formulation is the balance between washability and mechanical behaviour. Early water-washable resins were convenient and brittle, which is why they earned a reputation for cracked minis and snapped pegs. This one is specified at a 16.62 percent elongation rate after curing, and that number is the whole argument: the part bends before it breaks, so thin features on a miniature survive handling and small functional parts survive being clipped into place. High resilience and high precision in the same bottle is the combination that used to require two different resins on the shelf.
Detail resolution follows from the same chemistry. The formulation holds a level of surface detail equivalent to a 0.15 millimetre nozzle, against the 0.2 to 0.25 millimetres typical of conventional resin, which is the difference between a face that reads as a face and one that reads as a suggestion. Viscosity stays low and stable through the print, so layer times do not drift as the vat warms, and shrinkage is kept low enough that a part designed to fit does not need to be sanded to fit.
Two practical details matter more than the datasheet. The odour is significantly reduced compared with standard resin, both in the bottle and in the vat, which is what makes printing in a spare room bearable. And the anti-yellowing package keeps white and transparent prints from going amber on a windowsill, which is the failure that ruins clear parts a month after they were printed. It is still a photopolymer, so gloves and ventilation remain sensible, but the workflow no longer needs a solvent supply chain.
The resin you finish with is the resin you will keep buying.
Key Features
- Water-washable formulation Residual resin rinses under a tap, removing isopropyl alcohol from the workflow and the smell with it.
- 16.62 percent elongation Post-cure toughness that resists cracking on thin features and functional parts, where early water-washable resins failed.
- 0.15mm detail equivalence Surface detail comparable to a 0.15mm nozzle, against 0.2 to 0.25mm for conventional resin.
- Reduced odour Lower smell in the bottle and in the vat, which is what makes printing in a lived-in space practical.
- Anti-yellowing White and transparent prints keep their colour under daylight instead of going amber within weeks.
- Low, stable viscosity Layer times stay consistent as the vat warms, so the profile you dialled in holds through a long print.
- Low shrinkage Designed fits stay designed fits, without sanding every mating face after curing.
- 1kg and 2kg bottles Single-kilo for testing a colour, two-kilo for production runs, in Smoky Black, T-Red, White and HD Gray.

Where It Belongs
This is the resin for the person who prints miniatures, tabletop terrain, jewellery masters, prop parts and small functional components in a room they also live in. It suits the LCD printer owner who has been buying isopropyl alcohol by the five litre can and wants that expense and smell gone, and it suits the painter who needs a surface that takes primer without sanding through detail. The 1kg bottle is the right size to test whether the exposure settings suit your machine before committing to a two-kilo production bottle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exposure settings should I start with?
A: Use the water-washable profile your slicer lists for your printer model, then run an exposure test. Water-washable resins usually need a slightly longer normal exposure than standard resin, and the difference is typically ten to twenty percent rather than double.
Q: Do I still need isopropyl alcohol?
A: No. That is the point of the formulation. Rinse in a container of water, agitate gently, then rinse once more in clean water. Two baths keep the wash water usable longer, and the dirty water can be left in sunlight to cure out the residue before disposal.
Q: Is it food safe or skin safe?
A: No. Cured resin is not food safe and uncured resin is a skin sensitiser. Gloves for handling liquid resin, and do not use printed parts for food contact or drink vessels.
Q: Will it work in a resin printer with a monochrome LCD?
A: Yes. It is formulated for 405nm LCD and MSLA machines, which covers monochrome and colour LCD panels. The exposure profile is what changes, not the resin.
Q: How much does odour actually reduce?
A: Noticeably, but it is not odourless. Printing in a spare room with a window open is realistic; printing in a sealed bedroom is not, and no photopolymer changes that.
Q: Can I mix it with standard resin?
A: You can, and some people do to stretch a bottle, but you lose the water-washable behaviour proportionally and the toughness figures no longer apply. Keep the vat dedicated if washability is the reason you bought it.
Q: How should it be stored between prints?
A: Sealed, away from light, ideally with the bottle squeezed to reduce air. Resin that has sat in a vat for weeks should be filtered back through a mesh before the next print.
