JAYO 3D Printer Photopolymer Resin, 405nm UV Light Curing Standard Resin, Suitable for 2K 4K 6K 8K LCD 3D Printers, Black 1000g

I have been using another brand of resin for years and decided to try other options. The Jayo resin works great in my Phenoms and my Phrozen Mega 8k. The parts look good with all the details and they sand well.

Great resin for fast and accurate parts. Make sure the part is completely dry of IPA/ water/ cleaning liquid before curing. It is not completely opaque black, this can be a pro or a con.

Updated review I was a little hesitant of this resin at first. I got it back in the end of 2021 during their 2kg for $25 sale and really wanted to like it. I got okay use out of the black but seemed to have too many issues for it to really be worth it. Once I started using the transparent resin though everything changed. I love the transparent and it is now my go to resin for most everything. Durability: You wont be getting any ABS like resin durability out of this, but I have found its quite durable. Ive dropped my models on the wooden floor many of times and only really had issues with cracking on very delicate parts such a as bows, belts, and strands of hair. I do often drill and tap the prints with my Dremel and have never had issues with it being too fragile. Its probably not best for high intensity parts but itll work great for figures and miniatures (I print up to 1/3 scale and it supports its own weight very well after over a year standing) Smell: Its right in the middle. There are definitely some light fumes from this resin and I wouldnt recommend using it without any ventilation. Having said that I would also say it is significantly better than some other resins Ive used, especially cheaper ones. Print quality: I havent had any issues with the quality of the prints Ive had after over a year. All the details are crisp and the resin cleans very easily with mean green or isopropyl alcohol. The transparent does have to be babied a bit more than other clear resins to get that really clear look. I typically cure mine in water to help and then wet sand from 1000->5000 grit before clear coating it if I want a good glass look to it. I have included what it looks like normally cured without sanding in my photos of cooler (I over cured it a bit so it lost too much of its clear look. A bit of clear coat will bring back the look more or less). The transparent does take a fraction or two more per layer to cure, I dialed mine in at 1.9seconds per layer at 50% power on my anycubic mono x, but every printer is different slightly. Price: By far the best reason to get this resin. I almost exclusively buy from Jayo because of how dirt cheap it is. There are a few cheaper resins ($13-$17 a kg) on Amazon, but theyre either hot or miss for every bottle or downright terrible. A lot of times you can still even get the 2kg for $25 bottle deal (most people have good results with black, but I dont think I calibrated properly for it). I get transparent for about $17/$18 a kg and I think its by far one of the best deals for resin. TLDR PRO- dirt cheap, great results, decently durable, smell isnt too strong, lots of colors options, easily able to be drilled by hand CONS- there are more durable high end resins out there, the clear wont be as transparent as some high end brands, I had trouble with the black resin personally, it does have a smell. All in all I would recommend this resin and I will be buying a lot more of it as long as it stays this price.

Ive used dozens of different brands of resins, and JAYO is great for the price - I havent regretted the grey 2 liter bottle purchased. It cures quickly, has a moderate smell (used in a ventilated area), and is strong enough for most uses. I havent had anything break on me as Im printing fairly durable parts, but I dont imagine it being particularly problematic for use on minis or anything else along those lines. My only advice is to make sure that you wash it very well if youre using anti-aliasing, because it can leave a bit of a slimy layer. I use a 2 stage automatic wash, then scrub the remaining uncured resin off with a toothbrush and some IPA, and Ive been getting phenomenal prints for an absurdly good price. Im so happy with this that Im ordering another 2 liter bottle, and it may become my go-to resin.

Jayo is my new go to resin! Prints extremely easily, no harsh smells and you can’t beat the price. The strength of the print feels a bit stronger than Elegoo standard gray resin but not as strong as tenacious. Customer service is fantastic! Don’t hesitate to try out this resin! I’m sure you won’t regret it

I have 2 printers and have used this on both. The Grey is a bit lighter then Im used to but, the important thing was the quality. Prints to the same quality as some of the higher end resins. I will be making the switch for sure.

Bought this on a whim since it was much lower priced than the usual Anycubic Eco Resin I was buying and I was already considering trying a new brand at some point, so I rolled the dice on this, and have to say Im really surprised how nice my first print with it came out. I was pretty hesitant for a minute since it was so cheap and I had never heard this brand before. The smell was no worse than the Anycubic Eco resin I was using and I might even say its a little less strong, unless its just me already being used to it. This is a more true gray than Anycubics gray, which was more blueish tint than gray. Details show a lot better on this color. If this stuff stays the nice price it was at the time I bought it, I might just have to make it my new go to resin. Dont hesitate to try it because its cheap. This print I attached was printed on the Anycubic Photon Mono 4k printer.

Item shipped quick. It has a thinner consistency when you compare it to other resins but it prints absolutely beautiful even with stock slicer settings. Will be buying other colors to try them out.

I print 1:64 scale vehicle accessories, this resin performed well holding fine detail such as the Diamond plating and also held dimensional accuracy so ramp hinges remain functional.

I like to buy Sunlu resin when it drops bellow $16 per KG. I wasnt seeing that happen, and read that Jayo is the same as Sunlu. This worked on my Sunlu profile and quality seemed great. I mostly print Minis for my kids and occasionally prototypes. Ill probably keep getting Sunlu, but this seems like a solid substitute (as long as it is on sale).
