Problems, parts and running costs

Summary

A 405 nm UV resin aimed at functional parts, jigs and prototypes, published at 35-45 MPa tensile strength and 35-40% elongation. Check the numbers before you buy: every mechanical figure is manufacturer-published, with no independent instrumented test of this exact resin, and the shrinkage and impact figures disagree between the store page and the TDS.

Strengths

  • Published viscosity of 300-400 mPa·s is low for a tough resin, which helps reflow and reduces delamination.
  • Manufacturer claims higher toughness and elongation than ABS-Like Resin + for functional parts.
  • Third-party reviews describe stronger, less brittle parts than standard resins.
  • Low odor reported by multiple non-instrumented reviews.
  • Wide 405 nm compatibility with LCD and DLP printers.
  • Leak-proof packaging described by the manufacturer.

Weaknesses

  • No independent instrumented test of this exact resin; all mechanical figures are manufacturer-published.
  • Store page and TDS disagree on tensile strength, flexural labels and Izod impact values.
  • Pigment separation during 12-14 h prints can leave a beveled or textured surface.
  • Uncured resin is a skin and eye irritant and sensitizer, and is aquatic toxic.
  • Occasional leaking bottles reported on delivery.

Mechanical properties and test data

All mechanical numbers for this resin come from the manufacturer store page and TDS; no independent tensile, flexural, impact, viscosity or shrinkage test of this exact product was located. The store structured data lists tensile strength at 35-40 MPa while the spec table and TDS list 35-45 MPa, and the same two sources swap the bending labels: the table calls bending strength 1400-1800 MPa and bending modulus 40-45 MPa, while the structured data calls flexural strength 35-40 MPa and flexural modulus 1400-1800 MPa. The structured-data pairing is the physically consistent one, since modulus exceeds strength. Izod impact is 126 J/m in the TDS and 212 J/m in the store data.

A non-Anycubic owner reported 4 s normal exposure and 100 mm/min lift speed on a Phrozen Sonic Mini, with thicker supports and a longer IPA rinse needed. Low temperatures reduce print success; preheat the resin above 20 C, maximum 60 C. Black resin may appear partially transparent in walls under 0.5 mm, and high-clear types need reduced cure time to avoid yellowing.

Safety and handling

The SDS classifies uncured resin as a skin irritant and sensitizer, a cause of serious eye damage, and aquatic toxic. Gloves, goggles, ventilation and spill collection are required, and uncured resin must not enter drains or waterways. Wash parts with 95% IPA or ethanol for at least 3 min, then UV cure for 3 min (up to 1 h at 5-10 mW/m2). Do not leave uncured resin in cleaning agent for prolonged periods. Store at 20-50 C in the original container, dark, with an 18-month shelf life; flash point 150 C, initial boiling point 238 C, auto-ignition 252 C. Dispose of cured resin as plastic waste; uncured or contaminated material goes to approved waste disposal.

Costs and buying

On the Anycubic store the resin is listed at $28.99, down from a regular price of $38.99, at a unit price of $18.00/kg, with mix-and-match and bulk deals available. Value relative to competing resins cannot be assessed from the sources read, since no independent test data or community pricing data was retrieved.

Which model this is

This page covers ANYCUBIC ABS-Like Resin Pro 2, sold on Amazon under the title “ANYCUBIC ABS-Like Resin Pro 2 8K” (the 8K suffix is a retailer compatibility tag, not part of the official name). The Amazon listing is ASIN B0CGRL6TXT. It is a 405 nm UV resin, not a filament, and is distinct from ABS-Like Resin 2.0, 3.0, Water-Wash ABS-Like Resin 3 and Tough Resin. Colors include White, Grey, Beige, Black, Purple, Blue, Green, Transparent Blue, Transparent Red, Transparent Yellow, Clear/Transparent and Smoky Black.
