I didn't know what to expect reading the "ceramic gray", other than it being the color. But the actual print surfaces on finished items looks fantastic, and feels like unglazed fine china/ceramic. Fine details look great, but require care, as this resin is not set up to be durable. For art pieces or items that are not going to be subjected to outside forces, though, this is fantastic.It's very cool, and I would expect it to take primer and paint extremely well.Once I got the settings dialed in, prints came out consistently and look great every time. Thin edges look particularly good, as they almost have a glow to them.Very impressed with the results on this resin, just take care with finished prints.

As other reviewers have pointed out and I want to echo their statements, this IS water washable but despite what the pictures show or the box saying to "wash with running water" you CANNOT rinse this down the sink. Just don't do it.With that out of the way, this was my first time getting to use water-washable resin, and like many people, the thought of not dealing with IPA was enticing, but does it work as well? After running my first print and comparing it to my Anycubic Standard+ resin, I have to say I am very impressed with the quality. The print turned out even better than my others and I couldn't even make out the print lines until looking VERY closely. The print was more brittle which is not necessarily a bad thing but if you need something with more give to it, this might not be the resin for you. Despite that though, supports were very easy to remove. With other resins, I have had issues with supports scratching the surface of my prints when removing them but I had no issues with this one.The resin itself is much more liquidy than the typical resin which was a bit of a plus, especially for cleaning. It poured out of the tank and I had very little left lingering behind when cleaning up. It smelt about the same as other resins I have printed with, not bad but I still opted to wear a mask.Finally, the cleaning, which is the biggest factor here. I was able to clean my print with some distilled water in a jar and shake it around a bit. I did two washing this way, an initial cleaning then moved it to another container with clean water and rinsed it again. I then decided to finish it off with a spray of IPA and a light brush. This step was probably not necessary but I wanted to make sure I didn't leave any extra residue behind. After curing, the print looked fantastic! This will definitely be my new go-to way of resin printing, and I can now leave the IPA for the small clean-ups when needed.For disposal, DON'T throw the dirty water down the drain. Set it outside to cure and evaporate or bring it to a waste disposal place.--EDIT--After trying this out more with a few other prints and a different color version, I do have 2 issues that have become more prevalent. Firstly, I tried to do a print without a final cleaning stage with IPA and I noticed that I was left with a bit of a white residue on my prints after curing. It seems more like 95% water washable but a bit extra cleaning is still required.Secondly, I mentioned above that the brittleness wasn't too bad, but after printing more minis and having pieces snap off after curing very easily, I am starting to think it is a little bit of an issue.Because of this, I removed 1 star. The quality is still good but it has some limitations.

Resin prints as expected in a photon mono se.The color is nice and quality is top notch.It does still have that stink that all remains do, but not having to get out a big vat of IPA and instead being able to use water is a big plus. One less chemical I have to expose myself to.

This was my first time using water-washable resin with my Mars printer, and it was pretty easy to dial in using the published settings. It was nice to remove the expensive IPA and still achieve a good print with an easy-to-clean finish. I handle the water wash-up the same way I would handle IPA, letting things settle, cure, and evaporate before properly disposing of them. I still wear full protective gear when handling the material and ensure proper ventilation. If you're looking for an alternative to IPA wash, this is a great option that works quite well.

The lack of need for an alcohol was is a big selling point for this resin. I used it in my Creality Halot Mage Pro and the print quality was great! I'm very happy with the quality of the print and material propertiesWhat I am most excited about is the uncured resin is water soluble to I can get away with cleaning it with water instead of pricey 99% isopropyl alcohol! A game changer for me. I have used water soluble resin before and liked it, so I knew what to expect.From a brand like elegoo I have come to expect high quality equipment and resins. Their PLA and PETG is also of very good quality.

We have an old Elegoo Mars Pro 2 and this resin works well with our printer. I was able to easily wash this resin with water instead of isopropyl alcohol, which is what I would normally use, but I had to wash the model a lot longer than my alcohol-wash. The curing time for this resin was also much longer than I’m used to with other resins, especially the alcohol washed resins. I had to double the curing time because it was still sticky after around 3 minutes of curing under UV light. I’m not sure it was worth double my time to use a water wash instead of an alcohol wash. The only thing that remained the same was the print time. Either way, even with a longer wash time and curing time, the models I printed still came out beautifully.

This new water washable resin is pretty interesting. It printed quite well without any issues or flaws; it just took a bit more time to clean it with water afterwards. I guess the trade off is that water is cheaper and more plentiful, but has the drawback of just taking longer to clean with.I like it though and don’t mind the extra work.

Great quality resin that produces very fine details, have had no issues with clumps or adhesion (elegoo mars 3).The big benefit is how much easier cleaning and processing becomes. No more alcohol or detergent baths necessary to cut down on fumes and fire hazards.Proper ventilation will still be required and hazardous chemical waste will still need to be processed properly.
