3D printing UV/LCD standard red resin 1 L Flashforge 405 nm

Flashforge standard red UV/LCD 3D printing resin, supplied in a 1 L bottle and formulated for 405 nm curing systems, is intended for SLA/DLP and MSLA style printers. The resin offers predictable layer curing and surface finish suitable for prototype parts, concept models and small production runs. It cures under 405 nm light sources and is compatible with printers that accept liquid photopolymer resins designed for UV/LCD technologies. Follow manufacturer safety guidance and post-curing steps to achieve optimal mechanical properties and dimensional stability.

Advantages

This 1 L red resin provides consistent curing behavior at 405 nm, delivering fine detail and good layer adhesion for prints produced on UV/LCD systems. The formulation balances surface smoothness with dimensional accuracy to help reduce visible layer lines and improve model fidelity. Supplied in a standard volume convenient for multiple print jobs, the resin is suitable for iterative prototyping and short-run manufacturing where colour and detail matter.

Suitable for

• Prototype parts and concept models
• Miniatures, figurines and display models
• Functional mock-ups and form-fit checks
• Short production runs and batch printing
• Hobbyist and educational 3D printing projects

Key specifications

• Colour: standard red
• Volume: 1 litre
• Curing wavelength: optimized for 405 nm UV/LCD light sources
• Printing technology compatibility: SLA/DLP/MSLA (UV/LCD) printers
• Typical use: prototyping, models, small-scale production
• Storage: store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight

How to use

Pour the resin into the printer resin vat following the printer manufacturer's instructions and ensure the vat and build platform are clean before starting a job. Use exposure settings and layer thicknesses recommended for 405 nm resins and test small calibration prints to fine-tune parameters for your specific printer and part geometry. After printing, drain excess resin, rinse parts with isopropyl alcohol or another recommended solvent to remove uncured resin, and perform post-curing under a 405 nm light source or UV chamber to reach final mechanical properties. Dispose of waste resin and cleaning solvents in accordance with local regulations.

Recommendations

Wear nitrile gloves and protective eyewear when handling uncured resin, and work in a well-ventilated area. Follow safety data sheet instructions for skin contact, inhalation risks and proper disposal. For best results, perform a small test print to determine optimal exposure time and layer height for your specific printer model and desired surface quality.
