I also just got my first liter from Made Solid (I was a supporter when they were on Indigogo). I will be testing it this coming week.

I ve just posted in another thread that the shrinkage for FunToDo resin is about 0.3%, which is very little in this field.
The funtodso resin is available in a lot of countires (look at http://www.funtodo.net) and the number of countries are growing.
Comming month we are expecting a distributor for Poland, Spain, Russia and India (perhaps some more
) If you haven't seen your country in the list, and feel like becoming a distributor, contact me

I am interested in the amount of shrinkage with other resins also.

The first one I tried was the Spot-a GP. The Spot-a cures much faster (about 1/2 the time) but it was clear and I had to add my own pigments (cast'n craft). It was also more expensive and shipped from spain so the shipping cost was significant. I used this resin for my first test prints and was very pleased with the results. I pigmented it with a mix of Cast'n Craft black and white opaque pigments to get a greyish resin (similar to the Form1 resin). My cure time was 2.6 seconds for a 0.1mm layer (actualy 0.15 cure depth). I noticed the pigment didn't stay suspended very long. It wasn't a problem for my testing, the longest print was about 40 min. But I think it could be a problem for sessions of 2 or more hours without some way to agitate the resin.
Next up I tried The MakerJuice. It comes pre pigmented in a range of colors. It is significantly less expensive and ships from the US so the shipping was cheap and fast. The downside is that the SubG+ shrinks a bit more than the Spot-a (Hopefully Josh @ MakerJuice will keep refining his formua and release a new resin with even less shrinkage). I't's not a deal breaker but something to be aware of. The other thing I noticed is that the resin is somewhat translucent. That makes it dificult to see or photograph details without a coat of primer. I think I'll try adding a little more opaque pigment to tone down the flourescent tangerine color and cut the translucency.
