Elegoo Washable resin--Useless...

[cliffyk]

The thought of washing up with water had great appeal, however I find that after final curing the finished product is so brittle as to be worthless for any model having finer details (or even not that fine).

As an example I had planned on printing up a number of "Jack -O Covids" (see photo) for the grandchildren--however once complete i found them so brittle as to be totally unsuitable for anything to be given to a child--even 8-year-olds having brains enough to not eat their toys.

The prints are so brittle that even a good strong look will break off the projecting thingys (I don't know what they are called). 

I have also found that during final curing--be it in sunlight or forced via a 30 W 405 nm LED--any junctures such as that at the Covid's "pods" to body juncture--will develop stress fractures, an almost crystalline structure, causing the models to literally burst apart while being cured.

I will NOT be buying it again.
