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)

Im not sure what others are saying, but the bottle I recieved contained resin that is flexible and mostly holds its original shape when allowed to rebound. It goes without saying that the cured resin, especially around thin areas of a printed object, do not break or snap easily, if at all. If you OVER-cure this resin, like most resins, it DOES become brittle and may snap under continued stress. I have an Anycubic Photon M3 Plus, and my settings are roughly 15sec exposure time at 100% UV for bottom layers and 1.4sec for normal layers make sure your lift speed isnt excessively high, as supports are more flexible when cured appropriately. For bottom layers, my lift speed is around 0.8mm/sec so I can ensure proper adhesion and separation of the FEP from the build plate. As for it being Tough: The resin is tough in the sense that it doesnt easily break, and is able to handle physical impact forces by flexing. Overall, its a great resin, but it may be slightly overpriced for what it offers against other cheaper resins. If youre looking for a singular resin that needs to flex quite a bit (but not like rubber) at thinner areas, and be rather rigid around thicker structures (without breaking easily), then this isnt a bad place to start.

Excellent quality resin. I run a printing business and with the amount of printers i have i was looking to reduce the odor in my shop. You can barely smell anything at all with this resin and the detail it captures is just as good as their other resins.

Makes great prints details show up fine on basic settings

Resin works great once you get it dialed in. Exposure on the clear does take a little longer, but not a big deal. Overall print times take an extra 30 - 60 minutes. Details look solid and dont get lost when curing. My big reason for trying and using this resin is durability. Other resins I have tried have been brittle and break very easily. I do like the Syratech ABS Like resin as well, but this seems to flex better. I did drop tests onto concrete from 6 and 8 feet. Most drops resulted in no damage to the mini, which was great and seemed to do just a bit better than Syratech for me personally. I did see a few models have bits break off, but any plastic mini dropped from that height regardless of how it was made would eventually suffer some damage. So with that in mind I was very impressed and pleased with the drop performance. Ends and bits flex well too. See the Mara Jade lightsaber pick. The trick here from playing around I have found is to not overcure the resin in the final steps. Over cooking does make this more brittle. I have found for 28 to 32mm minis about 1 to 1.5 minutes is plenty of cure time. All in all this is my preferred resin and I recommend trying it!

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.

Every print Ive made with this resin has cracked and broke. Tough my azz worst resin Ive ever used.
