- 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).

What about VOCs and toxic fumes? That’s what I’m most concerned about
They all have fumes, highly recommend a ventilated room, wear a mask, gloves, and get a small air purifier.
@@IPrint3dMinis if they made safe resin would get a resin printer but i'll stick with my safer adventurer3 fdm printer. But FDM tech seems to be really catching up i think i printed a cat on my setup it was incredibly well detailed
@@IPrint3dMinis what type of mask? I’ve seen people say a full on respirator but I feel like that’s a lot.. is an N95 mask good?
@@cypress83 I use a normal N95 mask when working with IPA and resins, I also use one when sanding, or cleaning anything. Never can be too safe.
@@IPrint3dMinis so just to be clear, when I’m printing, I just need to wear a normal n95, none of the big stuff
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.
Heyo, I bought the Eco Black Resin and I can't get a successful print with it. What exact settings are you using sir? Would help me A LOT.
Hey, if you see this, i would also appreciate an answer to The Moody's question. I got also some trouble with printing it.
Mate on the amazon and their store page it literally says "Low oder and with safety"
Hi, what about exposure time? It's really too long? Five times the normal resin?
Thanks for the help.
@@99Plastics Yeah but that doesn't equate to "non toxic" - unless you see a spec sheet you don't know what is in it. Would you lick it, put it in your mouth? Of course not. Treat it as you would regular resin with the odor benefit and the fact you are making the planet a little better in the process.
Great video Danny!
You were like a ninja!! Coming outta no where, popping smoke....and gone
Danny really appreciate your videos..... you seem like you'd be fun to chill with.... love your passion for the hobby...and what you do for us newbs.....
After watching your channel for awhile, I finally decided to buy a any cubic photon printer. I just got it in today, I’m so excited to use it!
Your camera work and lighting looks soo much better than 12months ago!!
Also remember some people are more sensitive to irritants than others. If you, or anyone in your house is sensitive, and if it irritates the skin, it will probably irritate the respiratory tract - which can cause big problems over time
This is a very good point. Thanks for sharing!
@@3DPrintedTabletopSome rationalize with the attitude of what I can't smell won't hurt me - just like what I can't see won't hurt me
I try to work with this stuff as much as possiable now, low fumes almost no headaches and very easy to work with with good print quality!
Elegoo grey is super not-stinky and only $34 for 1kg. Cure your waste outside in the sun and its inert. -Brent
This is the stuff I use. Luckily it’s come down in price haha. I got a 1 liter bottle for $25 on Black Friday so it’s great. Definitely still smells but is WAY more bearable. I can bring the same room working while it’s running and I’m fine. Great stuff. I’ve got awesome results from it too.
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.
@@mikeoxlong1395u should still try to cure it in the sun. If its uncured at all its still toxic. Lots of animals(and sometimes people lol) loot through trash. So to be safe, dont just throw it away, cure it as much as possible first.
Brent is the Bob Ross of mini painting
Brent is truly a Bob Ross of everything
It’s like listing to Bob Ross and watching a less strung out and positive Dave Mustaine.
You have a very particular type of charisma that I can't quite put my finger on
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.
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!
The flexible mention got me the most interested.
bwahahaha that intro music switch up was great!
Even with the instant demonization...totally worth it :D Been loving all of your recent resin spree BTW. Been an inspiration for me to cover more of it myself. Big hug, man!
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.
Just ordered two bottles to try. Thanks for the review!
This was rly helpful cuz my mum was worried about me having some long term effects if I got a 3D printer and this is what allowed me to get my 3D printer
Thank you!!
Sry, late to the party. Just got a phrozen sonic mini 4k, and loving it. Quick question, if this is still 'toxic to aquatic life' and you can't wash it down your drain, what is the point of this resin? What are you paying extra for? Is it just a big lie?
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.
Hey Danny, love your work, like so many others you got me into this - would you be so kind as to share your printer settings for this resin? Exposure times, layer hight etc would be awesome - it seems like you have those dialled in pretty well for francesca's models!
Saw your comment on FB, but also responding in case others see this comment. Thanks for the comment, by the way!

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)
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.)
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.
Try a water wash after the ipa wash and let the water evaporate off the print before curing and that should work this is what I do when normal resin prints cure tacky hopefully this helps great video man learned quite a bit from it!
Soy bean is a troubled product too, which makes it not so ECO. Isn't there a better oil to use? Soy bean farming is one of the main causes of deforestation. There are other options though. And eat no meat helps too :)
I just bought some of this stuff. We'll see how it goes! I print in my garage as well but that isn't an option over the winter haha
Really the only reason I've been afraid to get a resin printer is because I live in an apartment and have animals more specifically rats which have sensitive respiratory systems. I'll be delighted if I can resin print without having to worry about killing my boys.
Where did you find your wash station Tupperware? Please link if you can. Thanks!
Hi do you have the link for the Safety Data Sheet for this resin I've been scouring the internet for it and its almost impossible to find. I need it to get this resin approved for use in my university's 3D print lab.
Hey, I would also like the SDS on this. I am considering buying some of this resin, but without the SDS have not convinced myself that it is worth trying.
did you find a safe resin ?
iamwooddude nope. Covid closed the lab and that was that
@@Sara-yr4kk no worries, thanks anyway
Can you say where you Set up your resin printer and how you do ventilation and temparatur?
Also if you vent out the exhaust of the printer or only carbon filter it
Thanks for this video! I was just considering getting this and now I will for sure. Also love the Brent had a hand in helping you evaluate this. I’ve called him the Bob Ross of the Mini painting hobby!
I subbed and liked purely for the bubblegum sunglasses scene lol
I knew SOMEONE would enjoy it :D
Would printing with this resin be doable in my bedroom? I'm thinking about getting into 3d printing, but my living situation doesn't allow a separate room for such things. I'm of course concerned about the smell and toxicity in the air.
And for FDM printers on the other hand, I'm concerned about quality, as I'm looking to print small detailed miniatures.
Im in the same situation, planing on getting one with a fully closed cover and modifying it with rubber insulating so it becomes airtight when not in use. While in Use oben wide every single window.
@@spqrnemesis2801 WOuld ask the same thing...
From other creators and my research, no, do not put in in your room because the "smell" are toxic fumes than can give you bad ilneses in the future. But if you really want to, you can make a fume hood, whith a fan extractor goin out of a window (and add a chimeney).
@@spqrnemesis2801 The problem insulating it, is that the gases are still inside, and when you open it for the minis, all those gases get out to your room. Its better if you make a fume hood with a good exaust and the smell will be gone.
@@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?
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
do we have to worry about the harmful vapors? even if odarless?
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)
I actually clean it with just soap and warm water, Works great for me. IPA does not work good with resin in my opinion.
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.
Those wash buckets at 5:50 are amazing. Are they products one can buy?
One thing you didn’t mention was if the fumes are toxic like regular resin. Does anyone know if the plant based resin fumes are toxic or as toxic as regular resin?
They likely are
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?
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.
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.
Danny, have you tried an ultrasonic cleaner with Mean Green cleaner? Some other vids on RUclips point out the IPA is the worst cleaner vs other options. 3 mins in an ultrasoic that is heated a bit (~60c) yields the best results and prints won't be tacky.
so is it safer? I couldn't figure out if he said it was or not. Pretty vague or did I miss that info in the video?
Terrific overview, thanks. Came here because I'm finding plant resin being used to line the inside of hot beverage paper drinking cups. I wonder how such resins behave in heated situations and whether if they are actually food safe.
So many paper drinking cups are lined with polyethelene, for obvious reasons, but the micro-plastic disaster prompts me to find alternatives.
Can you re-use resin scraps that you cut off the minis? As in, melt them back down to recycle and make more minis out of?
No, not in the Photon at least. The UV light changes the polymer structure from liquid to solid.
You should not really make anyone sniff & huff resin vapors : D
The resins require "adequate ventilation" (means that if you can smell it, it is not adequate?) or ABEK1 -level filters on half-mask etc. I just ordered one such half-mask from 3M. Thanks for the video!
+1 for Francesca Musumeci from Artisan Guild their minis are so good and have been a blast to print
Thanks for this I've been contemplating buying the plant based resign for my photon. I really like the flexibility to it
You should give it a shot - the flex was the best surprise from my tests!
Awesome video. Where did you find the SDS sheets for the resin? I didn't have any luck finding them on the Anycubic website.
I asked them to send it to me because I was concerned about it, and wanted to touch on that, and they sent it to me!
Where are you supposed to dump the liquid?
we need more videos on resin printers/anycubic!!
hi where did you get those 2 liquid containers with a basket in it? or what do you call when you search for it?
would these work for casting as well? (for example for making dice)
The only way I can get my 10 month old son to lay down for a nap is to listen to Brett either on RUclips or the podcast. His Mom has Boobs, I have Brett.
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.

I'm diggin' it. Those colours are looking real fresh.
Colours eh? Where are you from?

British English: most of the world uses it.
Hey guys just a quick one on this.. using the ld-002r and the clear version of this resin I have found that 3.85 exposure time works the best with my printer..
Any tried the clear Anycubic ECO resin yet? Best settings anyone? Logic tells me I should expose at shorter times due to the UV light shining deeper into the resin however 9 sec rather than the 6 sec default seems to reduce downward bending of the edges as it peels off. Still not perfect. There is a spreadsheet showing settings for most of the other resins but this one was not listed...yet.
Danny, you’re a treasure! Lol. Also Brent.
For me standard resin is better than echo one because it is more rigid and requires less supports, furthermore the new eco crazy colors do not highlight the details that in the case of miniatures are very important, the eco resin has the tendency to be slower to cure.
I can't find it so eco-friendly as on the package they recommend the use of gloves and mask and for cleaning alcohol...
Danny, Christmas is coming and I want to get into resin printing of miniatures for my gaming group. Overdressed make a video for us black Friday shoppers. Thank you Patrick :-)
The new ABS like Elegoo resin tends to stay sticky after post curing. You should try post curing under water and see if that helps :)
That's what I'm used to using, and it doesn't cure sticky at all for me. I stopped post curing in water because of this actually, and it helped. Maybe it's just time to clean out the IPA again...
Great video!
Just ordered a saturn 3 ultra and the wash and cleaning station seperately but I'm curious if I have to use the rapid resin with it to get high speed print times or if it is just as with any resin. I'd like to use the plant based for smell purposes. Any help would be much appreciated
i hope they do more colors of that resin, like gray and black...
I agree - would be nice!
You guys didn't answer the ONE question everyone has and can't answer. Are the VOCs from this resin toxic?
of course it is toxic 5:40

good day Mr Danny!! i have a question. i have a Nobel SLA 0.1 and i want to use it on a 3d party resin but i dont now which one chose, what do you think its better for an old SLA printer
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...
I lost 10min. What did you say new that could not be read on their website?
Have been enjoying your videos (subscribed to you)
Thank you for this! Very informative...I've been looking for someone who researched into the Plant-based claims 😁
Just wish it wasn’t so expensive! £80 on amazon in the UK, compared with £35 for elegoo grey :(
You aren't joking. Weighing whether the flex is worth double the cost is no small consideration...but still worth something, I think.
@@3DPrintedTabletop The 1 Liter is more expensive on Amazon so I purchased it straight from their website. But yeah they need to bring the price down. If it was $30 then that would be sweet. I hope that as time progresses(and competition makes their own) that the prices start coming down.
Also it would be nice to just have Grey/Black as bubblegum does not take pics well.
Right right, safety and all that.
On the down low though... hows it taste?
I said don't ask, Leevi! :D
@@3DPrintedTabletop mmmmm sweet syrupy poison. Just like mom used to make ;-)
Great video as always Danny!!!
I’m printing your models, and they look SO GOOD! I still can’t use your profile on cura 4.3 😱
Where did you get your rinsing vats? Also, dumb question but do I need to be concerned with venting the air as I would with a nonpolar filament printer?
Hmm, I hoped you'd actually say a bit more on the safety aspect. For example if the ISO EN-71-3 claims are true and whether it's safe to print toys for small children (provided parts are big enough to not be swallowed) or kitchen accessories that get in touch with food.
Hey there 3D PT, I'm looking to set up a small factory of 3D printers and was thinking of using this stuff, but I've one question that I'm hoping you can help me with. I'm wondering how easy or viable it would be to add pigments to this resin for a different colour, coz tbh - I'm no fan of those bubble-gum vibes for the products we'll be making
I'm coming to this video years later and now the plant based resin is about the same price as elegoo. Currently it's cheaper at 25$ a bottle.
Hi, thank you for the video.
What about exposure time? It's really too long? Five times the normal resin?
Thanks for the help.
Hi Danny, i was thinking about getting a resin printer, but it sounds like they are best to keep in in the garage. I live in Canada, would outside temperature be a big factor, its carzy cold here half the year. or would it be better to build a ventilation box and vent it out side?
Temperature you want is around 20C+ or otherwise the resin will start to solidify and have issues.
Lets try to figure out how to use endless, flourishing Kudzu supply and create grass root small business suppliers in Appalachia!
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.
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
is the idea behind the plant based that is not as bad in terms of environmental impact?
Nice Video Quality!, good lighting
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.
Danny, thank for all the great content. im having a real hard time trying to find curing parameters/times for running my anycubic photon S with anycubic ECO grey. its hard to find resources that really spell it out for you. can you tell me what you think i should be using? thanks again
Can you share your Print Settings with this resin? Also, great vid!

Could you use this one around animals?
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!
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!
No not really. I think it takes it a little better due to the surface not being rock hard.
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!
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.
Looking good, but the colors...
Thanks for sharing :-)
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!
i olve your channel it is amazing keep going. i wish my own 3d printer was work right now :( . I use your ender3 cura profile so much to make my own prints. cant wait to get it working. it just flooded itself with plastic :(
sounds like your Bowden tube has risen up the hot end, mine did it I swapped to Capricorn and has not happened since
@@AndrewAHayes thanks for the tip but sadly my printer has stopped extruding properly and i think i need a hole new chasie :(
I'm trying to use this eco resin to print minis and I'm curious about what settings you used. I am very new to a resin printer and so far I have not been able to get the initial parts to stick to the build plate. I got white resin accidentally and I have read it is a finicky colour but I want to use it since I have it.
My first prints didn't stick either. I had to install a firmware update. And it works beautifully now! You can look it up online
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.
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.
Good video and informations. I will try that with my photon! Do you have any specific settings for yours or can you share them?
I link to my setting in a few comments earlier on! :)
