Best "clear" resin.
OK who's get the best "clear" prints so far- I am not expecting glass, just reasonably clear. I want to buy some to test soon.

You probably also want it to be UV-stable? Some resins (not just specifically 3D-printer resins) start to yellow after exposure to ambient light.

Ill let you know when I get there. I have some anycubic clear here ready for the time I am ready to print the windows for my passenger cars. Going to try to print a raised thermopane gasket that I can hit with a sharpie before installing.

I’ve used the Anycubic clear with good success. Haven’t seen yellowing, as long as I hit it with a coat of either Dullcoat or Glosscoat.

I’ve not tried this but it looks really great from the videos. I will be getting some. Monocure 3d Tuff.

Also a good trick is to print vehicles in clear and paint the “normal” painted parts. This way the windows are already there and good to go.
