Best 3D resin to use?

I recently had a FlashForge Foto 9.25 6K 3D printer given to me. What is the best resin to get for it and from where? FlashForge apparently doesn’t sell resin as the page from the link on their site is no longer there (404 Error).

Flashforge UV resin is great. Highly recommended. Availble at Amazon

Thanks. Another question.

When I print something and there is left over resin, can it be poured back into the bottle and used again, or do I need to dispose of it after use?

Yes with a caveat.
If you did not have any print errors and you’re very sure that no gunk or floaters are present after a print session,then it would be OK to reuse.
However, if there is some doubt of the gunk or floaters in the resin tank, I’d pour back in using strainer or filtering: https://www.amazon.com/Printer-Resin-Filter-Disposable-Recycling/dp/B08T1F1MWK/ref=sr_1_4?crid=QQWE8GCB9Y51&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.GTzDdooQv1l82jaOC2z6ViA12IEuZGuMUm9LOY5JlMbPQqHw7eEfLmdrmcplIkGL_8rWDN3Z289EBPrIUcWUF2AqCsDqHUk8RKgCHaF7KpjdY6r0u-8w616sQr-qJeFs9ue0NcOmcAmYhopTC3JvCclRwg-fYCOfell4HEPIjvxidQHhVQLwbd7K4XhF8tEl9SSZAFHtp0dV2yxmepAbP7gsynZu5onapsScUHdZdfk.1UdoKFC1PNJPR7lP7qymAbK667-xLcDPqbFaEVjvkYg&dib_tag=se&keywords=filter%2Bpaper%2Bfor%2B3d%2Bresin&qid=1726959202&sprefix=filter%2Bpaper%2Bfor%2B3d%2Bresin%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-4&th=1

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Yes it does. Thanks. I was figuring it would be best to strain it back into the bottle.

Gino.
Go to the 3D groups on Reddit for more info and help. Here are a few:
r/resinprinting
r/3Dprinting

They are pretty helpful communities.
Just don’t go to other sites that will suck the time you spend on Reddit. /s.

Regards.

I just printed my first Benchie on an Ankermate M5C today.
