Wait... Resin 3D Prints are Suddenly Functional?

Video Description

In this video, we experiment with some EXTREME Resin 3D Printing. Thanks to HeyGears for sponsoring and sending over their New HeyGears UltraCraft Reflex 2.

But here’s the thing — resin and resin 3D printers have evolved in a huge way. Today’s resins aren’t just for show. There are engineering-grade resins that are as strong and transparent as polycarbonate, high-temperature resins that outperform most plastics, and even tough impact-resistant resins built for functional parts and small-scale production. In this video, we’re going to use the new HeyGears resin 3d printer, the ultracraft 2, to put modern engineering resin to the test — comparing it to FDM 3d prints and even injection moulded parts to find out if resin can finally do what FDM never could. It's a resin vs. fdm showdown... and spoiler alert: things get impressive. If you’ve ever written off resin 3D printing as weak or brittle, this one might just change your mind. I was honestly BLOWN AWAY by how well this resin 3d printer can produce functional 3d prints with end-use quality. It's definitely the best resin 3d printer I've ever used.... and these are the best engineering resins I've ever tried, too. 👀 Let’s get after it! 🤫 Get my custom filament and printer profiles, buyers guides, and much, much more on Patreon: https://patreon.com/thenextlayer  💬 JOIN MY DISCORD: https://jle.vi/tnl-discord 🎥  IN THIS VIDEO:  🎥 00:00 Introduction 00:57 The HeyGears UltraCraft Reflex 2 03:46 PAT10 Modeling Resin (Transparent) 09:21 PAU20 Tooling Resin (Black) 17:24 PAF10 Production Resin (Gray) 18:14 PAH270 Molding Resin (White) 19:55 Conclusion 🔗 LINKS MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO: 🔗 👉 My Sovol SV08 Toolchanger Build Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNAIMkOXd_V9jdPlKDvLn1b1i14LN-vcy 👉 Subscribe to Nadir on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nadir3D 👉 ArtMe Desktop Filament Extruder MK3S: https://jle.vi/artme 👉 Hanboost C1 Wireless Ultrasonic Cutter: https://www.hanboost.com/products/hanboost-c1  🛒 RECOMMENDED GEAR: 🛒 📍 Complete list of 3D Printing accessories: https://kit.co/jlevi/3d-printing 📍 Complete list of my videography gear: https://kit.co/jlevi/content-creation 📍My favorite thing to 3D Print: https://jle.vi/multiboard 📍My recommended electronics & control boards: https://jle.vi/bigtreetech 📍 My favorite 3D printing "accessory": https://jle.vi/magigoo | https://jle.vi/whambam 📍 My favorite 3D printing filament: https://jle.vi/polymaker 📍 Check out the official TNL merch: https://shop.thenextlayer.com/ 📍 PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL BY SHOPPING USING MY LINKS!
