Problems, parts and running costs

Summary

Anycubic ABS-Like Resin 2.0 is a 405 nm UV photopolymer resin for LCD/DLP printers with published mechanicals (Shore D 83-85, tensile strength 34-42 MPa) and an 18-month shelf life. Check the wash method before you buy: the TDS requires 95% IPA or ethanol, while a manufacturer V2 guide claims water washing.

Strengths

  • Published mechanical set (Shore D 83-85, 34-42 MPa tensile) suits functional parts and prototypes.
  • Broad LCD compatibility and minimal odor are noted by GoodiesRC.
  • Eleven colors and multi-bottle deals down to about $13.60/kg.
  • Eighteen-month shelf life with simple 20-50°C storage makes stocking practical.
  • GoodiesRC scorecard rates toughness 9/10 and printer compatibility 9/10.

Weaknesses

  • No independent instrumented test of this exact resin was found; available reviews are buyer-focused or affiliate summaries.
  • Wash method conflicts: a manufacturer V2 guide claims water washing while the product page and TDS require 95% IPA or ethanol.
  • Printing below 20°C may reduce print success; excessive temperature can increase color settlement.
  • TDS warns against leaving uncured prints in cleaning agent for prolonged periods.
  • Only generic warranty text exists; no resin-specific warranty document was found.
  • Single-bottle price of $22.99/kg is moderate; value depends on needing the published properties.

Wash, cure and storage

Follow the TDS and product page, not the V2 guide: wash with 95% IPA or ethanol for at least 3 minutes, then UV cure for 3 minutes at 405 nm, 18-30°C, at 25000-30000 µW/cm². The V2 guide’s water-wash claim is unresolved against the TDS, so do not assume water washing. Post-UV-cured resin is treated as plastic waste. Shake the bottle thoroughly before use, clean the vat and build plate, keep the vat bottom highly transparent, and inspect the release film for damage. Storage is 20-50°C in the factory container, protected from light, with an 18-month shelf life.

Temperature and print parameters

Print at 20-50°C in a 20-40°C environment, with 28-35 s first-layer exposure and 1.5-2.3 s normal exposure at 405 nm, at layer heights of 0.03, 0.05, or 0.1 mm. The TDS warns that printing below 20°C may reduce print success rates and that excessive temperature can increase resin color settlement. It also warns against leaving uncured prints in cleaning agent for a prolonged period. No independent measurements of dimensional accuracy or print success rate were found.

Cost and ownership

Manufacturer direct US store listing: $22.99 for 1 kg, compare-at $23.99; $135.99 for 10 kg, compare-at $239.88 (observed 2026-10-26). The multi-bottle deal reduces unit cost to about $13.60/kg. Ownership costs include IPA or ethanol, gloves, cleaning tools, FEP film, and other consumables; no subscription or capsule lock-in applies. Value depends on whether you need the published mechanical properties, can use the resin within its 18-month shelf life, and can maintain proper wash and cure conditions.

Is it worth it?

At $22.99/kg, one bottle is a moderate outlay for an ABS-like resin, and the 10 kg deal is the better value if you print steadily. The case for buying rests on the published specification set and broad LCD compatibility, since no independent instrumented test was found to compare print quality or durability against competing ABS-like resins. Selection should be based on published specifications and printer compatibility.

Which model this is
