Review: FunCreCol Standard White 101 photo-polymer resin for DLP/LCD 3D printing

The FunCreCol Standard white 101 ($25)  is a low viscosity white photopolymer 3D printing resin. I used it with my Phrozen Sonic Mini 3D printer and after I added one extra second to my layer exposure times it worked beautifully. The output quality and resolution was just as good as my printer achieves with the Phrozen branded aqua ivory resin.

The resulting prints were much stronger than the Aqua Ivory resin, but slightly more brittle. I suggest using the “thin” supports setting on your sliding software, as the thin supports bend and do not shatter into shards as much when you are breaking them off.

The resin has odor, but my IPA is the much more smelly part of the print/wash process. It has less odor than the Phrozen Aqua Ivory resin I’ve used before. (I still crack the garage door open for ventilation!)

The low viscosity aspect is nice. It looks and pours like thin cream or thick milk, and does not stick to the FEP film very much, so when you are done printing you can poor it out of your resin vat and if you hold it up above the funnel long enough, almost all of the resin slides off the resin vat leaving it almost completely clean.

However, this does mean that you need to take a little extra care and level your resin vat, so that you don’t get “pools” of resin on one side and a blank spot on the other side. [If you fill it up a little more than usual that would also compensate for a non-level vat…]

The only other annoyance was that the cardboard disk in the top of the screw off cap would fall out, and should have had a dot of glue to hold it into the cap.

At the $25 price point, this resin provides result that rival the $40 “name brand” resin. Here is a backup image of their suggested printer settings.
