there are an increasing number of 3d print suppliers in the uk.
As soon as there's some kind of demand, they'll probably start selling the resins.

If you can get a hold of some styrene or methacrylate you can use a cheap photoinitiator and make like 1L of resin for a few bucks.

Very interesting !!!! Have you got a complete recipe, i.e. the absolute proportions? Or a link to a website? Cheers.... in anticipation.

Not one I've fully tested, but if you can get a hold of some methyl methacrylate and benzophenone you can make it by mixing in proportions of about 20:1 from what I've read. You also need to scrub out the oxygen if you want a good quality polymer, I was thinking of bubbling carbon dioxide (made from yeast and sugar or baking soda and vinegar if you want) to get rid of the oxygen.

I was also working on another mixture from flax oil and a special non-toxic catalyst I'm working on and needs to be done in air but it needs some pre-heating to activate it.
