Peopoly Tough Resin?
Anyone have experience using this resin? Specifically on their Photon? I can't find much user tests, but the manufacturers videos seem promising. It looks like the strongest resin to date.

Thats cool and all but it likely won't work on a photon.
"Not designed for Phenom MSLA printer"
Leads me to believe it's for their true SLA printer the Moai.
The photon is an MSLA printer. SLA is an actual laser striking the resin, MSLA is light passing thru a Mask.
*font got weird im to lazy to fix it.
This is the first time I've heard of this. I was under the impression the Photon was an SLA printer since it seems to be listed as such.
I think its almost 'slang' to call and MSLA printer an SLA printer.
They mean nearly the same thing, and MSLA is technically a subcategory of SLA. They both involve light striking liquid resin to solidify it, and do not extrude molten plastic.
The LCD screen is actually the Mask, that the M stands for. The actual light is an LED matrix underneath it. The LCD screen blocks or masks the LED light, allowing only the desired layer shape to penetrate and expose the resin above it.
Newer MSLA printers are sometimes called DLP, for Digital Light Processing. That's just a fancy way to say that light gets some extra treatment by the mask.
Thanks a lot! You just saved me from spending $100 on a bottle of this stuff
No problem!
Look this up. I tried it. Its pretty expensive. It cures like a stiff rubber... kinda. The prints won't come out as pretty either.
