Can FTD resin with 0.5% shrinkage be used as Peachy Juice?

[/dev/null]

This thread has a lot of useful information now, thanks to everyone who posted. I made farther research in attempt to find notable pros and cons of different resins.

All FTD resins are opaque, but in Peachy gallery prints are transparent. I did not think much about this at first because there are "unpigmented" FTD Industrial and Standard Blends. I wrote to FTD about this, and they answered that pigmentation is needed to prevent "light bleeding". As far as I understand, FTD offers only opaque pigments. I guess that means FTD resins are better for opaque prints, but not transparent ones like with PeachyJuice (I assume that examples in Peachy gallery are printed with it). Another thing they said is that color of Standard unpigmented resin is clear light yellow, Industrial Blend is slightly lighter in color, and natural color of the Standard Blend will influence lighter pigmentation colors.

Assuming FTD resins will work well with Peachy Printer, this is my current opinion what resin to choose depending on what you want the most. Feel free to correct me if you think I'm wrong about something or if you have some useful information to add...

If you want your prints to be...	then consider...	Comment
glassy transparent	PeachyJuice	Officially supported resin, available in many colors
opaque, optionally colorful	FTD Snow White	Comes with free color pigment
high temp resistant	FTD Industrial Blend	Can withstand up to 225C
more flexible and less brittle	FTD Standard Blend
used for casting metals with high melting point	FTD Casting Blend
highest possible precision and deep black color	FTD Deep Black

Random notes:

• How strong and stiff FTD Industrial Blend is? Check this video to see how much stress it can take before it breaks. Stiffness of PeachyJuice is similar, not sure how much stress it can take though. Standard Blend will be less brittle and more flexible than this.
• Most resins are not intended to withstand high temperatures, and may become soft even around 100C if not sooner.
• Castable resin, even though it is intended for casting iron, bronze and other very hot metals, is not high temp resistant, it is intended for investment casting.
• FTD Industrial Blend may be used to make molds for metal casting with low melting point (example by someone casting metal to 3D printed mold).
• This website mentiones shelf life for FTD resins is about 1-1.5 years, depending on storage conditions, but PeachyJuice "is best used within 6 months of arrival".
• It may be possible to use transparent dies (like these) to give FTD Standard and Industrial Blends transparent glassy look, similar to what we can see in Peachy gallery. But I'm not sure, I could not find any photos to confirm this.
• Peachy Printer is not as precise as much more expensive printers, so FTD Deep Black may not give any visible improvement. In this case, buying Snow White with black pigment may be better choice, because you will get two colors instead of one.
• Table above does not mention MakerJuice G+ and SF resins because I could not think of any use for them. If somebody knows why they could be better than FTD resins for some specific purpose, feel free to comment.
