Formlabs Resin on other printers

General Discussion

Hello Everyone.
I was wondering if anyone tried using the formlabs resins on other printers?

I have an Elegoo Mars Pro 1 printer and was wondering if anyone tried using the formlabs resins.

Currently the Mars Pro 1 is not in great condition and needs some upgrades but wanted to know if it worth to upgrade it as a back up.

Thanks

I think those other printers use UV lights with LCD screens and are not laser based like Formlabs. The resin will most likely not properly cure because the resin is designed for a more powerful light source.

You can do a small test print and see how it goes.

Our resins will work well on a wide range of other SLA printers, including LCD based ones like the Mars Pro. If there is enough interest, we could work to develop recommended settings/profiles to make it easy to run them.

That might be a good idea

Yeah that would be great. I did some digging a while back and found some resins that work on lcd printers but most of them claims it will have to best results on a 2k or above ( which I need to upgrade)
