How HERO HD works
Heat cure at 215 to 275°F for a minimum of one hour. A large countertop oven with an air fryer feature works well, because moving air heats parts evenly.
New paint system
Water based acrylic made to go straight onto your resin prints. Ten colors, including DryBrush White, in one box.

From the community
I am printing gaming minis commercially. I've tried over a dozen resins to get the perfect balance between detail, strength, and flexibility. HERO Tough Grey has detail and strength equal to the best other brands while having superior flexibility.
If someone had listened to my idea of what I wanted my prints to physically feel like after curing, I'm 100% convinced that what they would have come up with is the HERO line... I highly (highly!) recommend giving it a try.
We have tried every resin that exists and put it to the test. HERO resin simply outperforms all of them. The details you can achieve with this resin is phenomenal... We at Dungeon Runner Miniatures only use HERO resin for our customers because we want to give them the absolute best product we can.
