    \n
  • Depends on usage<\/strong>: More printing hours and larger prints use up resin faster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Average estimate<\/strong>: at 6.7 ml resin used per hour a 1L bottle will last 149 hours per liter, which is around 3-4 months for the average user.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • What can you print?<\/strong> 830 small miniatures, 30 keychains, 645 towns, 66 chess pieces, or 12 figurines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Tips to conserve resin<\/strong>: Optimize supports, drip excess resin, filter used resin, and hollow out models.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

    You may be confused: how many miniatures, or larger resin prints, can you get out of a bottle of resin?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Well, it depends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But, I’ve created a calculator to help you estimate, and I’ve also gotten a fairly accurate estimate by averaging out a number of sample resin models and how much resin they used per hour, to help you estimate how many prints you’ll get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This article helps you calculate exactly how long a 500ml, 1L, and 2L resin bottle will last, exactly how many of each type of resin print you’ll get, and some tips and tricks to make your resin bottles last longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How Long Does 1 Liter of Resin Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Based on an average resin STL printer usage of 6.7 ml per hour, a 1 liter bottle of resin will last a little over 149 hours, or just under a week of continuous use. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For an average user printing 10 hours a week, a 1 liter bottle of resin could last up to 15 weeks, or 3-4 months.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
