its such a coincidence that I tried the detergent and posted about this on the Uniformation Facebook site the exact same day you were doing a review lol!! WOW!! I was so excited after I tested it out as I have been looking for a good IPA replacement FOREVER!! Thanks for the video and great in depth review!! cheers!!
I've used the detergent and IPA. I still prefer IPA because I can recover about 75% of it for reuse as crystal clear 99% IPA. The detergent is nice, less smells and less toxic, but you're still stuck with a jug of stuff to try and find a home for when it's no longer clean.
Yeah I'll get that completely a lot of people don't bother reusing their IPA and just get rid so I guess they would find this much more beneficial again using it in ultrasonic cleaners is a lot safer than IPA as well
Why don't you filter the resin out of the detergent to recycle it like IPA? Elegoo's detergent (unlike Sunlu's detergent, or ResinAway) allows liquid resin diluted in it to cure as a spongy blob when exposed to UV light, exactly like IPA. As for me, I plan to use the Elegoo detergent instead of IPA and recycle it that way in the Wilson machine. Moreover, as the detergent is not flammable, I can use it in an ultrasonic cleaner. The best of both worlds!
@fluxcapacitor the thing is, lots of cleaners work that might be even cheaper? Simple Green, Mean Green , Purple Power, etc. $10 😊or less per gallon. The Purple Power in Walmart comes in a bigger container at about $6 per gallon but obviously buying more than one gallon at a time.
@@christebo7305 I have no interest in testing kitchen cleaners that are not designed for this purpose. In any case, I can't even test them because all the cheap products you mentioned are not available in the EU and importing them would quadruple their price.
Great video! I am currently using the Elegoo 8K Grey Standard Resin and absolutely love it. I tried the Sunlu water washable but found the details weren't as good.
I'm just starting out in the 3D printing space, as my family just got me a Saturn 3 Ultra for Christmas. When i hear that the detergent disolves uncured resin, that would communicate to me that there may be a loss in detail as the first layer is disolved before throwing it into a cure station. Maybe I'm overstating its potency though. Did you see any loss in detail while using the detergent when compared to ipa?
That detergent looks interesting, it'll be interesting to see your opinion and video of it when its turned into a saturated, heavily saturated, and "90% resin/ 10% detergent" soup to see how easy/ difficult it is to recover and reuse the detergent.
A great video with great content and I will try the ABS like Resin. One point I'm afraid I have to disagree with is that on Amazon IPA is £18.45 for 5L, But I can't find the Detergent under £32. So that is a bit misleading to say they cost the same(at 13:50). I'm just nitpicking as it is a good vid, but facts are important.
Now that's a fair comment I have since found it a little cheaper the alcohol that is. But you can pay that much for 5 L of alcohol depending on where you shop point noted and I do agree with you thank you for the comment
I'm using the Sunlu resin detergent. The prints have to be rinsed with water after been washed in the detergent and I'm liking the result so far, just don't know how many prints can i clean until it's not usable anymore . Also it's not compatible with water washable resin. The Elegoo detergent doesn't have to be rinsed with water??
Having used few kilos of the elegoo water washable 8k I'm done with it. It's way too brittle for me, miniatures are a no-go when just by toppling over a 7cm model shatters in places... Switching to ABS-Like 3.0 and whilst waiting for order to arrive came across this video, looks like I made a good choice including the detergent in the order! Was worried it'd smell to high heaven which is why I tried to go with WW in the first place but seeing this it puts my fears to rest
I'm not certain if I just got a bad batch or what, but my experience with the elegoo abs like 3.0 has been a negative one. Using a mono x 2, I've had to double print times in order to have a successful print.
@greedy3d480 I didn't have any issues with elegoo's original abs like. I have also tried abs like 3.0 on my mono x and mono x 2 (the latter being a brand new printer), and I'm having constant adhesion problems and layer separation issues. So, I don't believe it's the printer. I've read reviews on Amazon that have claimed similar issues, so I'm not sure if they had a bad batch, or if this is a more chronic issue.
The thing that really stunned me about this video is how fast he tuned in each resin. Am I the only one who has to do about 12 tests before I even get close???
Hello, do you know Elegoo Abs 3.0 after printing my models become sticky, what is this because of, you don't know, If you know, I'm waiting for your answer. Thank you very much.
You said Non Flammable - But I notice on the bottle is has the Flammable symbol and when I look on Amazon I can also see that symbol. Is it safe for Ultrasonic cleaners? Couldn't find any info on that.
This is also off their website Non-Flammable: Safety is our top priority. Our resin cleaner is non-flammable and non-explosive, providing peace of mind while working with the solution. It has a high flash point of 82 degrees and a 20% longer service life than alcohol, making it safer than IPA and easy to transport and store.
@@greedy3d480 Ahhhh. Missed that. Thank you - I was looking on Amazon, should have checked the website. I will have to try this. IPA prices are getting so expensive now. thanks for the great, informative videos.
Tbh I've used it all and switch between it and ipa I guess how long it lasts depends on how often and how much you use it to clean so it's a little bit of an open ended question that one
Is it normal that resin detergent just remove all kind of paint from all of my tools? Like my ultrasonic cleaner, and some of hand tools. How should i use it if it is so aggressive? Should i remove and then change my gloves every time when i conctact with detergent? That means i should use 10-15 pair of gloves after every print...
The only constructive advice that I can give regarding that is follow the instructions on the manufacturers guidance it differs for all brands so one piece of advice may not fit all
@@greedy3d480 thanks for the suggestions, think I'll actually pick up the JamgHe std pro. Do you use the settings recommended by the resin producer or do you tweak it to get the most out of it? Sorry for spamming with questions, but I recieved my GKTwo today, which will be my first 3d printer experience :)
I bought 10L of this stuff it cleans well, BUT it causes my rubber gloves to fall apart after a few minutes. I accidentally dripped this stuff on my enclosure and it started eating through the plastic. The HUGE negative is that it makes your prints soft and sticky and it takes twice as long to cure. It also takes forever and ever to dry when you are in the business selling 3D prints the. This stuff is not for you as it makes drying and curing much longer. I’ve even had customers complain that their prints didn’t feel cured enough after a 10 minute cure. With IPA prints cure in 2-3 minutes. Elegoo gave me my money back after letting them know my experience with the detergent. I’m now back with IPA as it dries and cures much faster and the prints don't feel sticky after washing them. I can also distill my IPA to clean it but I can’t do that with the detergent. Hard pass for me.
So I used this detergent to clean an Elegoo Mars 4 Printer as you recommended and it had a reaction with the clear plastic lid causing the plastic to become tacky and sticky. I was able to neutralize the reaction with 99% IPA. While this works OK with 3d printed resins, I would not recommend the detergent for cleaning anything plastic or removing resin from plastics. I have contacted Elegoo on this matter and provided them with a link to your video.
@@greedy3d480 From Elegoo USA, "We are so sorry that you have issue when using the resin detergent, We have already send this issue to our R&D department, we will try our best to improve, hope we can better meet your need next time, It is recommended to be careful when using and try to avoid the resin detergent from dripping onto the machine. If there is any dripping, it should be wiped clean immediately to avoid damage caused by prolonged contact."
Not more expensive than IPA? You can get 10 liters 99% IPA for ~$20, that's a hell of a price difference. Unfortunately, that's the only thing that speaks for IPA, though.

Just ordered a Mars 5 Ultra and Mercury X bundle. Kinda wishing I had known about the detergent I would've gone ahead and grabbed a jug with my order.

@@greedy3d480 Thank you! Will give it a try
I've used the water washable and I agree it is more brittle on thinner parts but I like the easy of cleaning it in water, way cheaper then ipa lol
Indexed it is lol

To be honest i didnt
Good one man 👍👍
Ive only ever used Elegoo ABS 2.0 grey
The v3 is good and great price too

One thing I want to know is did it last as long or longer than IBS before too dirty? That would add a little to value comparison. Thanks!

How are you cleaning them at the end of the print and are you curing them enough

Thank you, will definitely pick up the detergent.
What would be your no.1 pick for resin to pick up, if this ABS is only part of your top10 ? :)
My favourite 2 basic Sunlu and Jamghe standard pro.. although I've just had a fantastic resort with the water washable ABS like

doesn't matter how safe the detergent is when you've got highly toxic resin dissolved in it.
I agree
You caused a lot of damages shaking the parts in the container. I do not recommend doing that..
It was a slow shsje tbh
I hate elegoo resin V2. I could never get it to print. Sunlu, on the other hand , is pure joy to work with.
Can only say what I find and their version 3 abs has been absolutely fantastic
