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.

I bought this with a set of resin dyes so that I could make custom clear colors, and its been working fantastically! The most interesting side effect is once the resin is colored, I obviously cant return it to the bottle of pure clear, so I have a waste bottle for any left over custom colors, where they all mingle together in a murky slurry of hues. Currently its a dark greyish green. Great for prints you dont care about or that you plan to paint anyway. Ive found the exposure time to be 5sec per layer, which is a bit longer than the listing would suggest, but thats what works for me. Have bought this resin a couple times now to resupply, and been happy each time.

For the most part Ive had decent experience with Anycubics resin. Ive messed with the basic printer settings to hone in on what generally works best for me. I rarely experience failed prints anymore, and when I do its typically because Ive pushed the FEP too far or failed to build a support on an isolated corner bit and suffer sag. Regardless, of the three brands I have tried, Anycubic is my least favorite. It has the strongest smell, takes a bit longer to cure, most viscous, most prone to inadvertent stress fracturing, and its spendy. Ymmv, but I honestly prefer the competitors resin for everyday prints as its much more forgiving or at least has a broader range of effective settings, plus I can save $4/liter on retail pricing in addition to what I save having to build fewer or less dense supports and experiencing fewer overall failed prints.

Projects come out well & detailed. I have only painted one of the projects so far & it seems to take the paint well (used miniature model paints).

I haven’t had to do anything but level the bed. The test print is perfect and the other items printed well.

I will always pay extra for the quality that Anycubic has put into being consistent with their product.

I use this product to print War Hammer figures and other finely detailed parts. I then paint the figures which requires fine detail in the printing process. The product works great and as expected!

This review is for the standard grey color. I have been using this stuff ever since I got my 3d printer and after 10 or so bottles, Ill say that it works very well! Great consistency and the quality of the product is always the same, which is really important for when you are trying to dial in settings and getting used to a new printer. If you keep making it, Ill keep ordering!

So this is pretty much the only resin I have used at this point and Ive decided that I need to maybe try some others. That said this resin isnt bad but it has a strong smell. The resin itself seems to be pretty good though and does print pretty well as long as you make sure to store it properly.

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.
