Which brand of resin do you prefer to use?
This will be my first time buying resin and seeing how there are so many different brands of resin and so many different types of printers out there I wanted to see who uses what with what type of printer. My printer has the Acer H6510BD (which is the same as the Acer P1500). Who else has the same p...

Re: Optically clear FEP or translucent?
Good questions. I am on a search for the best FEP (or similar) film and am finding that the manufactures of these films make them in different grades (translucent, clear, etc.) which, I am sure, greatly changes the UV transmission.
