chitu systemsConjure Rigid Resin, Engineering-Like Features for Functional Gadgets Resin Printing, Low Shrinkage for Articulated Figure LCD 3D Printing (Black,1000g)

This review is for the Black resin. I only ever use my resin printer to print functional parts. Tried many different brands and types in the last 5 years on different printers. I'm using this on an Anycubic mono X 6k. I mainly used ABS like resins of different brands. My main problem with them was shrinkage. Every resin shrinks somewhat during the curing process. Some shrinks more some less. I don't mind shrinkage as long as it is always the same level. With other resins even the exact same file printed and cured for the same time using the same equipment, same temperature etc... I ended up with slightly different sizes. This Conjure Rigid shrinks a little (probably a little less than other ABS like resins in my experience) but the difference is this always shrinks by the same amount so I can print the same pieces with the exact same dimensions time and time again!It also lives up to its name. It really is rigid once properly cured. Not rigid like cheap resins which easily shatter. It has some flexibility (very little though) and even when breaks it does not shatter to pieces. It's quite strong as well. Thick parts are hard to break anyway.It flows well but it is definitely not water thin. Pre heating the resin or your vat makes it flow much better resulting in better details and less failure.All in all I'd recommend this resin especially if you print functional parts or want your models to be durable. I'm sure there are other resins which have similar or better qualities but I have not found them yet especially not at this price!

One of the best and most cost effective resins I have found. The flexibility makes it particularly good for printing miniatures.I was tricky to find the setting but if you go to the chitusystems page and click support then downloads you can get them for your desired printer.Will buy again soon :)

I've printed minis for years. And some resins due to the minute size can be a bit weak/brittle. We'll with this resin they can bounce off the floor. So yes, a bit more expensive than others. But worth it in the long run. Literally put in recommended settings, print, wait and perfect prints.

I haven't tested its full suite of stated properties, because I don't need those, but I bought this as I need a resin that could print a very difficult piece. Due to the need to keep the surface as clean as possible on the outside, and no suitable geometry for support placement on the inside, whilst at a weird angle to preserve many straight edges on a variety of oblique angles, and also keeping a low exposure time to preserve very fine details, I needed something that printed with a degree of stiffness before curing. This did it. Mostly. I've bought another bottle to keep trying, but I've gotten 95% perfection whereas other reason that produced other parts impeccably couldn't do even do half of what I needed. As I need to dye the resin (a dark sea green) for aesthetic and ease of inspection reasons, I've only tried the Grey and White. In my limited experience, the Grey is far superior to the White, although I was still able to yield very promising results with the White as well. In my experience the White, even when dyed, has a small yet significant amount of light bleed without necessarily being overexposed, which is something new to me.

The media could not be loaded.  Starting from the packaging: It came in a box well protected, where the bottle is made of aluminium and the bottle nozzle is well sealed, avoiding leakage.The bottle has a date printed on the front label but doesn't tell if it is a fabrication or an expiring date.Also, no resin specification/settings were printed in the bottle, manual or leaflet.At least I found the settings suggestion for my printer on the product page.I haven't had any major issues using this resing so far.Just make sure you print some stress tests before going for something big.I had done 2 tests before finding the best settings for my printer.For the first test, I printed directly in the build area, the bottom exposure time I used the 30s and exposure time 4s, which led to an elephant foot defect and the model was stuck in the plate but printed fine details almost. It printed fine but I broke it trying to remove it from the plate.For the second test, I lowered the bottom exposure to 25s and exposure time to 3.5s which was easy to remove from the plate but did not print very fine details.By this observation, I decided to keep 25s for the bottom exposure time and 4.5s for exposure time per layer with room temperature between 21ºC to 25ºC and the result was amazing.

You probably won’t find a more robust resin than this. It’s consistently good, with just slight print settings adjustments for the different colours. I’d recommend a long soak in spirits, as the supports come away a lot easier after this.I’ve been using this resin for hard-used puppet parts and it really is strong. i very much recommend it.

First, it is ESSENTIAL that you use the correct setting for this resin, the settings are readily available online.With the correct settings a print, on my Elegoo Saturn 2, a print will take twice as long as a print using an ABS-like resin. However, for an engineered part the extra time is worth the wait. Shrinkage is really low, I scaled my first print by 0.3% but I need not have bothered, and the quality is outstanding.I have tapped M2.5 without issue.For my first prints I printed directly to build platform, I have yet to try supported prints.

Very pleasantly surprised to discover it's as tough as advertised - I've used it for action figure part prototyping, and printing upgrade parts for FDM printers, amongst other things, and it's held up to both admirably. Cure in hot water for better strength.

Until I used this stuff, I thought 3D resins were just chalky and brittle and not very useful for functional objects. It was a real eye-opener to try this resin!Prints come out sharp and detailed, like you'd expect from a standard resin, but are also really strong. I've had great print results and few failures with minimal effort.The parts take really well to sanding and paint, and seem more wear resistant than normal resins. It's still not as strong as a thermoplastic like ABS, (or maybe even PETG) but it's a big, big improvement.One of my favorite things about it is that the black is REALLY black. I've tried black resins that look transparent with thin parts. But this stuff is like ink, even the thinnest parts come out opaque. That does also make it pretty messy though. You have to be meticulous about cleaning your tank and build plate when switching resins.For some reason, the transparent blue color is rarely in stock and takes forever to ship, but if you can get it I highly recommend that as well. It seems to have the same mechanical properties as the opaque colors, with the benefit of looking extra cool.It is more viscous than standard resins, which is probably why they recommend printing at ~77F and above. I've been fine printing it in colder rooms, but it might be worth investing in a heater if you're using it in a garage in winter. It prints slow; I use 4.5 second layers on my Mars 2 Pro, where normal resins would be closer to 2 seconds.One thing to note, this resin has a weird reaction with alcohol. If it's left in too long, it gets overly flexible and will stay like that for a couple weeks until the alcohol evaporates (I guess?) and then it'll warp. I usually wash my parts for 3 minutes and pull them out as soon as possible.If you can justify the additional cost (about $40 for a kilogram right now) and don't mind the added print time, there really aren't many downsides with this resin.

Excellente résine, beaucoup plus solide que de la résine de type ABS. Facile a imprimer avec une Flashforge Foto 8.9, il suffit simplement de chauffer la pièce ou l'imprimante ce trouve a au moin 25 degré.

very good, strong and opaque photopolymer! I am delighted! I will only buy these from now on!
