Trying resinworks EasyCast

I've been casting Emerald pretty flawlessly now but I ran across resinworks EasyCast and thought I'd give it a shot as I did SolusCast and WaxCast in search of even more perfect castings. So far, for me, Emerald is the best.

My question is has anyone printed EasyCast? and advise on printer settings would be helpful.

We're working on print settings for that resin. Will release when ready.

The company is legit. their resin casts just fine it is the same as the burgundy resin from Romanoff. You must a have a fairly new bulb though.
I would suggest you get a sample for now and try it for yourself.

Oh, for sure. I'll never buy another bottle of new resin without getting a sample first. No more $300 mistakes for this guy. Resin suppliers will never offer a refund if their product doesn't work and have no shortage of reasons why you are doing something wrong to be causing the issue. Not even saying I blame the resin manufacturers but if it doesn't work for me with a sample bottle I'm not jumping in on it.

That would be great to have settings for EasyCast. Resinworks states the resin works with Solus but, I'm not trusting what a resin manufacturer says, lol. I will see for myself with the sample.

I have mostly full bottles of two 'castable' resins for sale... :(

Emerald still works best for me.

Their resin actually prints better than the Emerald. The casting result is the same as the Emerald, always good. I have cast a few samples and had no issue.

Marc,

I realize it's asking a lot but would you mind sharing your settings on the Solus for EasyCast? I've been printing the large table which has been working out very nice for me with the Emerald.

Well. To be on a safe ground as I did. Use the solucast profile and tweak the exposure slowly depending on your bulb really. you need a couple of tests, I always have my test file handy, a 20 M test to have my machine setup. You will love the result though. The casting is bulletproof. Marc

That is great to hear. Thanks for the info.

One more thing. Whenever you order from them they will provide you with the printing settings, just put a note you own a Solus.
