Resin Standard, Black – Prof. Lab

Standard black resin Prof. Lab Resin Standard Black is a universal photopolymer for 3D printing on SLA/LCD/MSLA printers. It is designed for a combination of high detail, reasonable strength, and ease of use, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced users looking for a reliable “workhorse” resin.

Main benefits

• High resolution and sharply rendered details – ideal for miniatures, figurines, models, and prototypes
• Matte black surface – perfect for presenting details, photography, and painting
• Low shrinkage – accurate dimensions, good shape stability, and better fit of parts together
• Balanced strength and stiffness – parts are not extremely brittle; with proper settings they withstand normal handling
• Fast and reliable curing – optimized for modern UV LCD/MSLA printers (405 nm)
• Easy cleaning – compatible with IPA/ethanol and common wash/cure stations
• Universal use – suitable for hobby printing, prototyping, visual models, and technical concepts

Typical applications

• Figurines, miniatures, gaming models
• Prototypes and visual product models
• Technical components without high mechanical or thermal stress
• Design and decorative elements
• Spare parts, holders, covers, and auxiliary jigs

Not intended for medical applications or for long-term contact with skin or food.

Recommended printing parameters (approximate)

Specific exposure times may vary depending on the display power and printer design; the following values serve as a starting point:

• UV wavelength: 405 nm
• Layer height: 0,025–0,05 mm (for detailed printing), up to 0,1 mm (for larger, less detailed parts)
• Normal layer exposure time: approx. 1,5–3,5 s (depending on the printer type)
• Bottom layer exposure time: 20–40 s / 4–8 layers
• Ambient temperature: ideally 20–25 °C

After printing it is recommended to:

1. Rinse the model in IPA/ethanol (manually or in a wash station) – briefly, to avoid surface degradation.
2. Dry the model (e.g. with compressed air or by letting it drip off).
3. Post-cure in a UV chamber (approx. 5–15 minutes depending on part size).

Safety and handling

• Always use gloves and eye protection while working.
• Avoid contact of the resin with skin and eyes.
• Print and handle in a well-ventilated area.
• Store unused resin in a dark, cool place in a well-sealed bottle.
• Dispose of cured resin waste as plastic waste, liquid resin according to local regulations for hazardous materials.
