The Phrozen Neon-Lemon 3D Resin is a high-saturation neon yellow photopolymer resin designed for resin 3D printers (MSLA/LCD). Its vibrant neon-inspired tone makes it the perfect choice for decorative projects, props, event accessories, and any piece where colour takes centre stage. It combines quality finish with good mechanical resistance and excellent compatibility with the vast majority of printers on the market.

What it is used for
The Neon-Lemon Resin is designed for applications where striking colour and sharpness of detail are the main requirements. Its intense yellow tone allows impactful visual effects under both natural light and artificial lighting. Please note that it is not photoluminescent: to achieve glow-in-the-dark effects, a light source is required.
Accessories and props for cosplay, festivals and themed events
Halloween decorations and prop accessories
Miniatures and decorative desktop figures
3D-printed jewellery and fashion accessories
Decorative signage and display pieces
Concept prototypes where a differentiating colour is key
Creative projects combined with other resins from the Phrozen range
How to use it
Shake the bottle for at least 30 seconds before pouring. Neon pigments tend to settle over time.
Pour the resin into the vat of your printer, making sure the FEP is clean and in good condition.
Set the exposure parameters appropriate for your printer and desired layer thickness. Use the exposure profiles recommended by Phrozen as a starting point.
Print the piece with the necessary supports. The viscosity of 200–350 cP ensures good layer filling and detail reproduction.
Remove the piece from the build plate with a spatula and nitrile gloves. Always work in a well-ventilated space.
Clean the piece with isopropyl alcohol 99.9% in two baths: one initial wash and one final rinse. Allow to air dry before post-curing.
UV post-cure: expose the piece to UV light (curing station or direct sunlight) for the recommended time to reach the final hardness of 76 Shore D.
Filter and store the remaining resin from the vat using a fine mesh filter. Store in the original bottle in a cool, dark place.
Caution: Uncured photopolymer resins are irritating to skin and eyes. Always wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles and work in a well-ventilated space. Avoid direct contact with liquid resin. In case of skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water. Do not pour uncured resin down the drain; cure liquid waste with UV light before disposing of it in accordance with local regulations.
Usage tips
Exposure parameters for neon colours
High-saturation neon pigments absorb more UV light than standard pigments. It is common to need a slight increase in exposure times compared to the base profiles of grey or translucent resins. Start with 10–15% more exposure time than normal and adjust based on results. Bottom layers may also require slightly longer exposure times to ensure adhesion to the build plate.
Combining with other resins
The Neon-Lemon can be mixed with other compatible photopolymer resins to create intermediate tones or reduce saturation. If combined with matte finish resins such as the Resina 3D Phrozen ABS-Like Matte Gray, you will achieve more muted colour effects with improved surface texture. Always mix in the vat or a clean container, never in the original bottle.
Colour preservation and handling
The neon tone is sensitive to prolonged exposure to ambient UV light: always store the bottle in a dark, cool place. After post-curing, the yellow may shift slightly with long-term direct sun exposure; if you need colour stability, apply a UV-protective varnish over the already-cured piece.
Frequently asked questions
Do these resins glow in the dark without a light source?
No. The Phrozen Neon-Lemon Resin is not photoluminescent. Its neon effect is visible under natural light or high-intensity artificial lighting, especially under UV or black light, but it does not emit its own light in the dark. A light source is required to achieve glow effects.
Is it compatible with any resin printer?
The Phrozen Neon-Lemon Resin is compatible with the vast majority of MSLA/LCD printers on the market. For best results with large-format printers, you can use a printer such as the Phrozen Sonic MEGA 8K V2, which combines 8K resolution with a large print area. Always check the specific exposure settings for your printer model.
What liquid is used to clean printed parts?
The most effective and clean method is washing with isopropyl alcohol 99.9% in two successive baths. Avoid water alone without prior post-curing, as it may leave uncured resin residue on the surface.
Can I mix this resin with other photopolymer resins?
Yes, standard photopolymer resins are generally miscible with each other. The Neon-Lemon can be combined with other Phrozen range resins or compatible standard resins to adjust colour or mechanical properties. Always carry out a small-quantity test before mixing large volumes.
What hardness do parts reach after post-curing?
After correct UV post-curing, the Phrozen Neon-Lemon Resin reaches a surface hardness of 76 Shore D, which places it in a similar range to rigid ABS. This is sufficient for decorative pieces, accessories and props for moderate use.
Is uncured resin dangerous?
Yes. Liquid photopolymer resin is irritating to skin and mucous membranes. Always work with nitrile gloves, eye protection and in a ventilated space. Once fully cured, the piece is safe to handle. Liquid waste must be cured with UV before disposal.
What is the difference between this resin and a standard grey resin in terms of detail?
The level of detail depends primarily on the printer's resolution and the configured layer thickness, not the colour of the resin. The Neon-Lemon offers the same detail reproduction capability as other standard Phrozen resins, such as the Resina 3D Phrozen Aqua-Gray 4K. The difference is that saturated colours may make finer details visually less perceptible in photography; on the physical piece the detail is equivalent.
How long can the resin be stored unused?
Properly stored in its original bottle, in a cool, dark place away from heat sources and UV light, the resin maintains its properties for at least 12 months from the date of manufacture. Always shake well before use, especially if it has been left unopened for some time.
