Whats different about DEFT resin?

#1

Hello! I could use a little help please…

I have a Moai, used Peopoly resion for years and had great results!
I havent printed anything in 2 years,
Just tried printing a figure after ordering resin from Peopoly. Looks like its changed?
Now the word DEFT is on the bottle and the resin is considerably THINNER than the resin I used years ago. Used all the same settings and leveled the pate before printing and got this result. Whats with the layers totally surrounding the figure? Never saw this before…anyone?

Hi,

I suggest the resin was frozen at some point. This causes the odd layers to grow around the part because the photo initiators separate out of the resin.

I had this problem in the past with some resin that froze in transit due to high altitude air travel in a non-insulated container.

Unfortunately there is no way to fix the resin after this happens.

Thanks! I appreciate this response…

What other resins work well in the Moai? I will never order from Peopoly again after this…

Ive used Makerjuice and elegoo but they are out of stock with white resin
I dont want to order some resin Ive never heard of and it doesnt work well! lol

I can’t comment on the Moai printer. I have a Creality LD006.

I found eSun resins to be very good on that.
