I would like to see you print the same files instead of different ones. That would be a better comparison.

[IRSculpts]

That Joker bust is SICK!!! Such a beautiful file to see printed! Great video as always!

[rolfathan]

I've wanted exactly this kind of video for so long.

[wingsOfAnthrax]

these imperial measurements confuse me

[Kumodot]

When you say bottle on the title you could add the size (1000L/g ? 500L/g) ? It's implied on the size of it and on the video but that's an important info to be in our face. Thanks for the video !

Glad Elegoo is sponsoring awesome people like Uncle Jessy, they certainly aren't putting any tine or money into customer service and satisfaction.

Great video as i always wondered about this but my main thought was towards FDM printing and resin. To me it doesn't seem like a lot of mini's for a whole bottle of resin, especially if they are hollowed. I would love to see a resin to FDM comparison for 1kg of each and printing the same things! Of course fdm is not nearly as good for minis and such but some of the bigger busts would be a great comparison! Seems even more expensive to print in resin than I first thought :(

These results totally makes sense. If you think about surface area, the smaller items have a lot more surface area by volume than the larger items. It's more area for uncured resin to stick to and be washed away. plus if you look at the supports, and the fail print opportunity... I don't know if it's about the machine, If we weighed the left over resin from the minis it would have been better analysis. For large prints though, you got 72% out of the bottle onto your prints. That's pretty impressive. 39% for the minis is a bit of an eye opener, but there is no getting past physics and fluid mechanics. That's a big loss, but if you are at $36.00 bottle that is still about $1.00 per mini.

This is an apple to oranges. To really know which printer is more efficient you would need to print the same items between the 2 printers. Wonderful prints, but we cannot make any decisions based on this.

[WilliamReichlein]

So the answer to the question of "How much can you print with one bottle of resin?" is "Never enough!"

[TekGeekDad]

Awesome, maybe print same files on each next time. Also would be great to see you go through the process of hollowing and support for an sla prior to printing on Saturn. Thanks good stuff!

[NewbridgePiano]

i know what you can make with those skulls. The logo of Xcom 2 has a Sectoids head built with human skulls

[SectionHQ]

Took your advice. Looked every day in Amazon and now I finally have one.

[Trueflights]

how many things can you print with one bottle of resin...

Depends on the size of the bottle :P

[genin]

was that a 1kg resin bottle? so the Saturn ended up doing close to 1kg, 940g, probably 60g left in printer. thats an excellent turn around

[Movie_Games]

Damn, so $40 to print one of those trays? How much cheaper would filament be to print the same amount?

[jinkxkng]

I'd love to see a koffing and wheezing pokemon printed. I'd even be willing to purchase them.

[stevenbryce]

Hey man, I know you stress not washing in the sink; which I totally get. However, what do you do with the leftover contaminated water in the wash tank/container? What’s the environmentally safe way of disposing of it? Thanks!

[cardsfanboy]

I have not printed anything yet, just bought a Photon S as part of Anycubic's black Friday sale, going by their website, one bottle of resin starts at $23, if you are getting 30+ miniatures out of one bottle, that leaves material cost at about $.75 per figure, definitely not the price I thought it was going to be (I was thinking closer to $1.50 or more)

I love the idea of those busts though, didn't think of doing something like that until I saw it in a video, and now I think that might end up being a go to item. But I'm glad to see the cost isn't nearly as high as I thought it would be.

[freedy]

I don't know if you said it or not but was the Resin bottle 500g or 1000g? Also, what's the difference between 500g and 1000g? I assumed g meant grams but the bottles on amazon look the same size.
