ANYCUBIC Tough Resin, 3D Printer Resin with High Precision and High Toughness, 365-405nm Fast Curing 3D Resin for 4K 8K LCD/DLP/SLA 3D Printing (Grey, 1kg)

My go-to resin has been a 75/25 blend of Anycubic Craftsman (now out of production) & Tough resins. I bought a new .5 liter bottle of Tough and added it to some known-good Craftsman and Standard resins (all resins gray color). I was unable to get a single successful print with either blend. I substantially upped the exposure time and tried printing a Siraya Tech calibration model. The only thing on the build plate was the burn-in layers, and that had minimal adhesion. I have contacted Anycubics support, but I cannot recommend the current (Aug-Sep 2022) batch of Tough resin.

I print a lot of miniatures that have delicate parts. I use this to mix in with my regular resin to give them some extra strength and flexibility while keeping the costs down. Great resin!

So far, this is the strongest resin I have used. I did have to increase my normal exposure to about 3.5 seconds to get everything working correctly. Also had to use stronger supports. Its not terribly thick and it doesnt stink any worse than other resins. I will say that even though it is strong and flexible, small thin pieces on your print can and will break off if you dont watch out. I just dont think that any resin is up to par with FDM on strength and durability

This resin prints pretty good. I did not have issues that were the resins fault. I did think that the resin printed more opaque than i thought it would be. But that is not the resins fault but more of my issues of what i thought i was getting. So the pictures are what your resin would turn out to be. I mean you are not really going to be using it as is and it most likely will be coated/painted

One of the biggest problems that I encounter with resin 3D printing is brittleness. I noticed that if I mix this resin into regular resin at at least 20:80 (I sometimes use 50:50), the resulting prints are much less prone to breaking. I have tried grey and white and both work equally well. Highly recommend!

I used to use water soluble resin with my photon 4k. I got the smaller container of this to give traditional resin a try. Alcohol cleanup is a bit of a PITA but the outcomes are worth it. This resin is UV resistant and tougher than the water soluble. It will bend before it breaks whereas the water soluble would snap. I have made parts that went right up to the build capacity of my 4k and had very nice results.

Love resin printing minis but boy howdy do they shatter with regular resin. Im not gentle with my things, and its sad when a painted mini goes pop. I was excited when I heard about tough resin and it delivers! It is harder to remove supports ( i need to find my snippers) so I have managed to break a little piece off here and there but still a massive improvement. I have done test drops and parts dont go flying! There is some flex as well if you press on thin parts.

Ive been printing minis for my D&D campaign and for boardgames. My biggest gripe was always hardness and snapping. This stuff is absolutely amazing. Ive had characters swords bend in half and not snap with this flex tough resin. There is no loss in quality between this and standard resin either, I print on both Photon mono 4k and a LD002r. It might stink a little but no more than some of the other resin Ive used. I dont think Id buy regular for anything other than draft printing. All my models are now printed with Anycubic Tough Resin.

I have bought a ton of this resin! Mostly black but a lot of clear and white as well. At least 15 bottles of black as of right now. Im satisfied with how the resin performs. It seems to not be too brittle while still holding its shape. The one thing Im not satisfied with is that there is only 900ml in a bottle. I know the bottle says 1kg, but I think that most people just assume that equates to 1,000ml. Either way, they should advertise this so people can accurately calculate their print costs. The other problem was when I reached out to Anycubic to inquire how many ml were in a bottle, they never responded. So I had to buy my own measuring cup to find out myself. Now Lychee Slicer can accurately estimate my print costs, which have gone up about 10% from what I thought before.

When searching for the ultimate solution for durability I first tried flexible resin (didnt sand) then I found a good mixture of flexible 70ml to 30m regular (sandable and flexible). What I found was, when people realized a print could be bent 30 times, it was actually LESS durable because they would just break it. Due to this not require premixing and being very very difficult to break, this is my go to for small items that hang off, delicate items, small weapons, and have recommended to dozens of people. Also this is one of the few tough resins that DOES NOT require you to mess with the factory settings. The only drawback is this is not water washable. Be warned, the more uv curing, the less durable. So if you have a small item where 2 mins each side would cure, if you do 4min each side, it will be less durable.
