Filament & Resin
There are 2 types of 3D Printer materials used for 3D Printing which are filament and resin. The main difference between filament and resin is that filament comes in a spool with different types of plastic strand while resin comes in a bottle of liquid form with different mechanical characteristics. Filament and resin are developed to cater different 3D Printing needs.
3D printing filament is used for 3D Printer utilizing FDM 3D Printing Technologies where the final printed object is in plastics. 3D Printing Filament consists of PLA filament, ABS, PETG, NYLON, PC and many more.
On the other hand, 3D Printing Resin is for resin 3D Printer (also known as SLA Printer or MSLA Printer) that consists various range of resin such as high detail resin, dura-abs resin, water washable resin, engineering resin, high temperature resin, elastic resin and more.

3D Printer Resin
3D Printer Resin is a 3D Printing Materials to be used for Resin 3D Printer such as SLA 3D Printer, MSLA 3D Printer and DLP 3D Printer. 3D Printer Resin is in liquid form and packaged with an opague bottle to protects it from sunlight UV exposure. There are different types of 3D Printer Resin to cater different needs such as castable resin for jewelry and dental, normal resin for figure printing and etc., where each of it was developed with different mechanical characteristics and properties.
3D Printing Resin is recommended to consumers whom are looking to achieve high details and precision object like medical testing devices, jewelry, dental and more.

Filament Dry Box
Filament Dry Box is recommended to be used for 3D Printing Filament like PLA filament, PETG, ABS, PC, Nylon and etc. The main purpose of Filament Dry Box is to heat and dry filament that has absorbed moisture due to improper storage or the fact that some filament absorbs moisture quicker. Humidity is the worst enemy for 3D Printing Filament. When filament has absorbed moisture, it will affect greatly on the print quality. Thus, filament dry box is one of the essential item to have for 3D Printing. Aside from that, it can be used as spool holder as well.
As a comparison between PLA material and PETG, PETG absorbs moisture quicker. As for other high temperature 3D Printing Material like NYLON and PC, it is required to pre-heat it for few hours before printing.
We carry the best filament dry box like eSUN eBox, Sunlu S1 Plus and Creality Filament Dry Box which all are heated filament dry box and some comes with weighing feature.
