Phrozen Neon-Lime 3D Resin is a standard photopolymer resin in an intense neon green tone, designed for projects where colour and visual impact are part of the final result. With solid mechanical properties — 76 Shore D surface hardness and 20.63% elongation at break — it combines aesthetic presence with technical reliability on LCD and MSLA printers.

What it is used for
Neon-Lime is aimed at 3D printing decorative and functional parts where a vivid colour finish is desired without the need for post-painting. Its neon green tone reacts spectacularly under ultraviolet and black light, opening up visual possibilities that other standard resins do not offer. Common uses:
Desktop decorations, figures and miniatures with eye-catching colour finish
Accessories and props for events, cosplay or Halloween
Signage prototypes or colour-identifiable parts within assemblies
Jewellery and accessories with neon visual effect under UV light
Artistic pieces where combining with other Phrozen resins creates gradients and chromatic effects
Scale models, dioramas and scenery elements that require colour without post-process painting
How to use it
Shake the bottle thoroughly for at least 1–2 minutes before pouring the resin into the FEP to ensure colour homogeneity.
Pour the required amount into your LCD or MSLA printer's vat. Avoid exceeding the maximum fill level.
Configure the printing parameters in your slicer (layer exposure time, base layers and lift speed) following Phrozen's recommendations for standard resins and your LED wavelength (generally 405 nm).
Start the print and monitor the first layers to verify adhesion to the build plate.
Once printing is complete, remove the part with a spatula and eliminate excess liquid resin.
Wash the part with isopropyl alcohol 99.9% in two successive baths (the first to remove most of the resin, the second for the final clean). Recommended washing time: 2–3 minutes per bath.
Allow to dry completely in air before final curing.
Cure the part with a UV station or under direct sunlight until the surface loses its tacky feel and reaches maximum hardness.
Safety warning: Uncured resin is irritating to skin and eyes. Always work with nitrile gloves, protective goggles and in well-ventilated spaces. Avoid contact of liquid resin with surfaces and do not pour it down the drain. Resin waste must be cured under UV light before disposal as solid waste.
Usage tips
Print parameters and colour adjustment
Optimal exposure times depend on your printer and layer thickness. For 0.05 mm layers on 405 nm printers, start from Phrozen's base values for standard resins and adjust in 0.5 s increments if you detect underexposure (brittle layers) or overexposure (loss of detail). The neon tone is highly saturated: on thin-walled parts light may slightly transluce through, which can be used as an effect or corrected by increasing wall thickness.
Mixing with other resins
Neon-Lime is miscible with other Phrozen resins in the same range, allowing blends to obtain intermediate tones or gradient effects. Always mix in controlled proportions and shake well before use. Avoid mixing resins from different brands or chemical families without prior testing, as compatibility is not guaranteed.
Storage and vat maintenance
Store leftover resin in its original bottle, tightly sealed and away from sunlight. Do not expose the bottle to temperatures above 30 °C. If you leave resin in the vat for more than 24 hours without printing, filter it back into the bottle to prevent pigment sedimentation and possible films cured by ambient light. Clean the FEP with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth before using the printer again.
Frequently asked questions
Does this resin glow in the dark without light?
No. Phrozen Neon-Lime Resin does not have photoluminescent properties. The neon effect is visible under normal light and intensifies under ultraviolet or black light, but it does not emit its own light in the dark.
Which printers is it compatible with?
It is compatible with resin 3D printers using LCD or MSLA technology with a 405 nm wavelength. It works correctly with printers in the Phrozen range, such as the Phrozen Sonic MEGA 8K V2, and with most market equipment operating in that wavelength range.
What liquid should I use to wash the parts?
The most common and effective method is washing with isopropyl alcohol 99.9% in two consecutive baths. Avoid tap water, as this resin is not a water-washable variant.
Can it be mixed with other resins to obtain different colours?
Yes, Neon-Lime is miscible with other resins in the same Phrozen family. Mix in controlled proportions and shake well before each use. For blends with resins from other references, always perform a compatibility test before using the mixture in a full print.
How long does the part take to cure after printing?
Secondary curing in a UV station is usually completed in 2–5 minutes, depending on lamp power and part size. Under direct sunlight it may need between 5 and 15 minutes. The part is fully cured when the surface no longer feels tacky.
What hardness do the printed parts have?
Once cured, parts reach a surface hardness of 76 Shore D, making them rigid and suitable for decorative and light functional use. The 20.63% elongation at break gives them some impact resistance compared to more brittle resins.
Can the resin withstand high temperatures?
The heat deflection temperature at 0.45 MPa is 70 °C. This is an acceptable value for applications exposed to moderate heat or prolonged direct sunlight, but it is not suitable for parts subjected to high temperatures on a continuous basis.
Are there other resins available if I need a different colour or different properties?
