I was cleaning out my project closet the other day and I found an entire bottle of resin for my printer, still sealed and unopened... but it is several years old at this point.

I didnt see an expiration date or anything on it, so I just wanted to ask before I open it and potentially make a huge mess... Does Resin Expire or otherwise go bad with time if its factory sealed? or in general?

  1. It does expire.

  2. I used resin that had expired for a whole year.

  3. If it doesn't print/cure properly it is "expired". Shouldn't cause any serious harm to the printer or additional safety hazard. So just go for it.
