Matte resins definitely print nicer in my experience. I haven’t tried too many SLA resin bands I mostly just stick to Siraya Tech fast resin because it’s low odor. When you blend your resin do you put it in a new bottle every time or do you reuse bottles?

I didn’t know that they worked with polymaker for their ASA. I knew that Esun is their PLA/+ manufacturer though. I do miss those esun masterspools since they have switched to the cardboard spools. I’m glad that the spooless filament refills are still available. So far I’ve heard great things about atomic and I’ll have to give them a try. I also like overture a lot for their PLA and their PETG.

Wow I didn’t know there was a carbon fiber petg on the market yet. I have yet to try any cf filaments yet but I think they are pretty neat.

@thecitywelivein I’ve been wanting to give atomic a try but I just can’t decide which color to get. They have some really neat colors and I love the atom design on their spools.

I like the polyterra line too. My favorites are the cotton white and sapphire. I’ll have to give the army blue a try sometime. I’ve tried a spool of their polycarbonate and it was nice though difficult just due to the nature of polycarbonate. I also used to think polymaker was expensive brand but I’m so glad it’s affordable.

I use a modified food dehydrator. It’s cheaper than a filament dryer and does the same thing. You can often find them used for a good price. From my experience desiccant alone is not enough to dry out a filament.
