Plant-Based Eco Resin: Is It Worth It & Safer? (Anycubic)

Is Plant-Based Eco Resin worth it? And is it actually safer for you and the environment? I consult with my good friend, Brent, of Goobertown Hobbies to find out while I print up some beautiful models in the process. Let's talk about it as I review this plant-based resin sent to me by Anycubic (no money exchanged, of course).

I've been printing with this stuff for a few weeks now. I started with it first before trying the other stuff. Smell: Comparing to say Anycubic Black Resin. Once you've used it that when the smell becomes apparent. I have to say in comparison, I really stopped noticing it. It's like a concentrated plant stem smell vs an industrial chemical smell. Think more simple clean then bleach. IPA was far stronger then the orange plant resin I have. Printing: I've been using the Elegoo Mars. The default settings have been fine for me. Cure in a uv box for 30 minutes. Quality : It got all the detail of my models. When I finally got the black resin, the quality is identical. If you've ever ordered Fine Detail Plastic from Shapeways. It was all comparable. The flex is a nice little feature for me because I'm making then toys with thinner parts. That little flex was very desirable. Finish: I found that needed an alcohol wipe down because the surface is kinda spongy before the cure. I don't think you need a tank dump but I had to dry off the surface with it. I haven't done more testing so there may be another way. If it's tacky after the cure, wipe it down with alcohol. Okay now for some potential cons outside of price(which could go down as they increase production). I think that flexibility is double edges sword. I found supported failed less but there was a high chance of the print deforming more if the support failed. Or I have some prints that got deformations after multiple prints while the black resin was better. That was one print out of many though. Altering the exposure could fix that. That softness even after the baths has a little tack so you know lint likes to attach more. Though that surface also doesn't really scratch and leave a white mark. Once you paint these things though the surface isn't really an issue. Last thing. I keep seeing Non Toxic being thrown around so I'm glad this video is up. At no point does Anycubic ever make the claim it's non toxic. Biodegradable =/= non toxic. Plant based =/= non toxic.

Since your comment was one of the more recent ones and you've used this resin, i'll be asking you. Is it ok to just dump this thing in thrash, by that i mean paper towels that i used to clean/drain the stuff i work with or supports? Normally, i'd set them in the sun for a while and hope it's cured before throwing them away, with the resin being a safety hazard and all that.

i tend to use an old sonic toothbrush to clean my prints in the ipa. that way you can make sure they are clean. i find just dipping and swerling is not enough for prints i also use a syringe to suck ipa and flush onto the models. this acts like a mini power washer. handy to clean out resin from hollows. and yes all resins bio or non bio should always be treated with respect. good video. i love the plant based resin from anycubic. i was one the beta testers for the resin. i got good results and had my printer in the same room as me. and hardly notice the smell. i don't like the other resins that claim that you can clean with water as we all know people will end up washing them in the sink and would start to think well if i can wash in water i don't need gloves even if in the video of the resin they show someone wearing gloves. at the end of the day people are people and will skip stuff if they think they can. again thanks for a great video.

[@Rcmike1234]

I found tacky resin prints to be from improper washing. you can actually get the tackiness off with a brush and some fresh ipa. I think it's from an IPA bath with too much resin in it. You can actually set your IPA bath outside and pull the cured resin out as it will basically cure solid and the IPA will be 'cleaner'. You could then filter it too.

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

I'll definitely be changing out my IPA and cleaning it out like you suggested. Strange that other resins with these same batches of IPA weren't affected though. Thanks for the comment!

[@iaindavies7785]

So, I was stupid and inexperienced and got resin on a container, which I then touched barehanded. I washed my hands reasonably quickly but didn't have any side-effects. I will say though, if I'm in the room too long while printing, it does make me a little dizzy and I did get a slight headache, but I have mild asthma so it's possible that others won't have that.

I love this resin. It doesn't stink up my house, which matters because I have 2 printers that are almost always running. (Sadly, it doesn't prime and paint itself, so while the lack of stink is great, the trade off is an eternally growing pile of shame in the form of unpainted minis.)

[@IPrint3dMinis]

I got a table full of shame, apart from the purchased kits, and kit bashing stuff I own. I think my current count is 60 unpainted figures on my table, and about 50 more in boxes. My wife thinks I am silly, but it's what keeps me sane.

[@pixelsafoison]

I find these kinds of products dangerous, because most people do not associate "natural" and "eco" with the word "toxic". Curing stations and setups can be pricey, or simply a hassle ... If you market something as "natural" you're just giving people an excuse to be even more reckless with resins x)

[@claudiomerchante6011]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I have seen in other videos that IPA is not necessary for cleaning this resin. Instead the pieces can be cleaned with soap. I don't know if you did that test, because using soap definitely improves the experience by eliminating odors from the IPA. What is your opinion?

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

I've seen Uncle Jessy's video using the Green solution, but haven't tried it yet. Haven't tried regular soap either, but experience very little odor from the IPA to be honest. It is very quick, and minimal in my experience. I've always found much stronger odor from stinky resins themselves.

[@shadowofkitsune]

I have good experience with soap and warm water with this resin. But I also clean it for a little longer to combat the stickyness. I actually find soap working better than IPA for me.

​@@shadowofkitsune Thank you!! Cleaning was always a problem and in this way it is greatly simplified. I already bought the resin and I look forward to trying it.

Regarding your stickiness/tackiness. Most likely due to print settings. I found that I needed to up the exposure time a bit for perfect results. I will personally not be buying it again unless it goes down in price. I'll stick with elegoo gray

wow that pink, flexible resin looks great! What works for me for removing tackiness, I simply drip dawn dish soap after washing in 99% IPA (you know the stuff they use to clean little ducklings from oil spills) onto the miniature and let it soak in warm water for a half hour or so. Seems to help quite a bit if 90% IPA doesn't do the job.

This is really a great idea. I'm gonna try it for sure! Thank you! (Also, you sold me when you brought in the baby ducklings)

@@byalexnd200 thanks for the reply, since carbon fiber masks are used to filter while handling theese chemicals, would it be posible/usefull to ad a fan that pushes the inside air through one of theese filters. That would make the whole compartment sub ambient pressure and filter the stuff out?

[@robstone7421]

I would cure the prints longer to deal with tackiness. though im not using the eco resin, a lot of my projects involve direct application of thick resin to repair from sanding, and give high gloss effects. this takes 3x the normal curing time, or more before they are not sticky. I'm talking hours, and hours sometimes.

Terrific overview, thanks. Came here because I'm finding plant resin being used to line the inside of hot beverage paper drinking cups.

Where did you get your rinsing vats? Also, dumb question but do I need to be concerned with venting the air as I would with a nonpolar filament printer?

[@luism8034]

Maybe in a new video you can actually talk about the setting on the Epax for the different resins you use, or maybe you make no changes? Thanks

[@adamfilip]

Nice Video Quality!, good lighting

[@joaquinllamazares]

I’m printing your models, and they look SO GOOD! I still can’t use your profile on cura 4.3 😱

[@AngryLotus]

This is probably stupid to even mention, but since it is foremost in my mind from working in a HAACP facility, does "soy-based" make it an allergen as well? Not that you are supposed to eat it anyway but...

The only way I can get my 10 month old son to lay down for a nap is to listen to Brett either on KZbin or the podcast. His Mom has Boobs, I have Brett.

This low odour and biodegradability really may tip the scale to get a resin 3d printer. Is there any difference as to primers / PrimerFillers adhering well when applying to the final product? Would be great if you guys could share your experiences :) PS: Been subscribed to Brent for a while. Great dude!

[@AnimeWars2002]

No not really. I think it takes it a little better due to the surface not being rock hard.

[@GoobySuks]

The Odor control is really within the printer itself! I pulled the trigger on the Longer Orange SLA printer and it has not stunk at all! because the fans are internal!

[@JimiVexTV]

Hey there 3D PT, I'm looking to set up a small factory of 3D printers and was thinking of using this stuff, but I've one question that I'm hoping you can help me with. I'm wondering how easy or viable it would be to add pigments to this resin for a different colour, coz tbh - I'm no fan of those bubble-gum vibes for the products we'll be making

[@josechitty339]

Thanks for the Video! One quick question, I know you say it is not stinky but would it be safe and ok to use inside the house? I don't have the pleasure of having a garage just a hobby room.

[@AnimeWars2002]

Your sensitivity may vary but really crack a window open then after printing(which is when it actually smells). Though it also depends on the printer. Some keep the fumes all under the lid and others get exhausted. I would always have good ventilation working when resins.

[@spqba747]

I lost 10min. What did you say new that could not be read on their website?

[@ChatGTA345]

Just one further note on the Biodegradable claim: it IS biodegradable (eco-friendly) _after_ curing. So the final solid part can be disposed of with biodegradable (or regular) trash, and that's what makes it eco-friendly - no more "plastic trash" that's polluting the planet. Still remains a question how long it takes to degrade, but at least this might be "good enough", just like for other biodegradable products. The uncured (liquid) agent is still toxic to marine life as mentioned, and should be handled with the same care.

[@JakePerryFilms]

Danny, you’re a treasure! Lol. Also Brent.

[@Jessuggiecraftingqueen]

Could you use this one around animals?

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

If you think your pet would eat/drink it, I wouldn't honestly. I would be careful about running it around them all the time (like in a smaller, closed room where they sleep, etc.) But if it was in a room where you cleaned the resin, no chance of eating/drinking it, I wouldn't be as worried. I feel that way about regular resin too, by the way. Hope that answers your question!

[@Teufelshund86]

Good video and informations. I will try that with my photon! Do you have any specific settings for yours or can you share them?

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

I link to my setting in a few comments earlier on! :)

[@levcooper]

is the idea behind the plant based that is not as bad in terms of environmental impact?

[@thecoderhero3099]

Can you share your Print Settings with this resin? Also, great vid!

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

Thank you! I sure can. Keep in mind, I'm using the EPAX which has a slightly stronger screen. Layer Height: 0.04mm Bottom Layer: 6 Exposure: 6s Bottom Exposure: 45s Bottom Lift: 5mm Lifting: 5mm Bottom Lift: 60mm/min Lifting Speed: 60mm/min Retract Speed: 180 mm/min

[@UnvarnishedTarnished]

Smell wise, personally I don't think it's any better or worse than elegoo or esun. All 3 are better smelling than regular anycubic resin. Sarayatech Blu is definitely smelly.

[@haxjester]

Thanks for the info Danny! What are those containers with the strainers you are using to wash with?

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

You're welcome! They're just pickling containers with IPA in them. They work really well for cleaning in my experience!

[@haxjester]

@@3DPrintedTabletop pickling containers! That's what I was looking for. Thanks

[@smoth7]

Little bothered bt biodegradable minis. I am worried about my minis biodegrading..

[@AnimeWars2002]

Like PLA(this might be PLA) this will only degrade in specific composting conditions. So it's not going to degrade just out in the open. It will probably outlast you on its own.

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

What @ Neoblackdragon said :D

[@maddm6668]

This was quite a while ago - those resin prices are not something I'm envious of haha, I just started printing and, unless I'm tripping, in Australia, the plant based is matched price ATM.

[@karenschultz9717]

Lets try to figure out how to use endless, flourishing Kudzu supply and create grass root small business suppliers in Appalachia!

[@antibodyarmy]

I got tacky prints will all my resins when I either had a low room temp, or not long enough curing time per layer. perhaps with the wide curing range it will need more cure time.

[@avejst]

Looking good, but the colors... Thanks for sharing :-)

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

There are several other colors, and I just prime over it anyways. Definitely not a deal breaker for me, but I get it for folks who don't prime. You're welcome!
