ANYCUBIC 3D Printer Resin, 405nm SLA UV-Curing Resin with High Precision and Quick Curing & Excellent Fluidity for LCD 3D Printing (Grey, 1kg)

I have been printing with filament for several years now and recently picked up a resin printer for making miniatures. I bought a bottle of the Anycubic Gray because it was highly rated and in my price range. Since then, it has become one of my go-to resins. Price There arent many resins on Amazon that have a lower price tag but that doesnt mean that this is a low quality resin. Print quality I can get great quality on my prints with very little effort. Take a look at the pictures - theyre a little blurry but you can still see that small details come out crisp! Odor I barely notice a smell. Yes, it has one but Ive yet to use a resin that was totally odorless in liquid form. I cant detect a smell once prints cure. Toughness On its own, this models printed with this resin hold up pretty well to being dropped a short distance to the table. They dont survive higher drops than that but that is to be expected. If you want more resilience in your prints, use this as a base and mix in one of the specialty resins made to be tough/flexible. Overall Buy it. Youll like it. It looks runny compared to its closest competitor but theres no noticeable difference in the prints.

Edit: The company very quickly and satisfactorily attended to my needs when I bought the orange color liter bottle of resin that was out of date. While I failed prints with the out of date bottle, I’ve never had any issues whatsoever with resin that wasn’t expired, and have not failed a print due to their resin. The detail is exquisite, and I continue to use this product on all of my prints “I bought an entire liter of orange bc I wanted a solid color. After weeks of trial and error, wasting a good bit of money thinking I needed to buy knew parts for my printer, and hours and hours of testing to try to understand the problem, I finally found out that my resin was over a year expired. I wasted a lot of money around this product, only to find out that I would have to buy more resin and HOPE that it isnt expired. Failed product!

I have used the entire bottle of resin at the time of writing this review, and a few models I have printed are shown. Overall, I would give this resin a 4.75/5, as the only print failures I experienced were due to underexposure on thin supports on my end. In regards to the odor others have noted, it appears to me that the Grey colored resin has next to no noticeable odor, and cleans up nicely. My only downsides of note would be that this resin really likes to stick on, so using a soft toothbrush is a major necessity. That said, so long as you properly wash your prints and then let them air dry before curing, youll be happy printing. I have had no prints detach from the build plate during any of my prints, including my larger dragons,

No trouble with my usual settings.

has a bit of an oder

Print quality is good. However I bought these on sale and it’s on sale for a reason. I bought 12 bottles because it was a good deal. But after looking at expiration date, I’ve only got 3 months left to use it. Not sure if it will lose its ability to cure right. But after reading on multiple websites. This stuff should be good for a year. Well I’ve only got until November based on the date on the bottles.

First resin I tried that wasnt produced from the company that made my machine. Im not sure if my critique is base from inexperience or happenstance, but this resin seems to be better than what I was using. The detail seems good, it seems to leave no extra resin boogers in the vat and it left very little resin excess in the tub that I use to alcohol clean the model. The only downside is the fumes. The previous resin fumes were contained in the machine by the cover alone, this stuff seems to blast past that and permeate through doors....

open your windows because this stuff is noxious smelling. but you will get some super clean prints with it. when i spilled it on myself (yes i wear gloves but sometimes you make mistakes) it didnt burn or irritate my skin. but yah, that smell; i wouldnt want my child/pet anywhere near this stuff when printing.

Came fast and product was very good
