ELEGOO ABS-Like 3D Printer Resin 3.0, 405nm UV-Curing Photopolymer Resin for Mars Saturn Jupiter MSLA DLP LCD 3D Printing with Strength and Toughness, High Precision, Low Viscosity, Grey 2000g

I've been using the ELEGOO ABS-Like Resin 3.0 for several weeks now, and it has quickly become my favorite resin for functional prints and miniatures. I'm running it on my Saturn and Mars printers, and the results have been consistently excellent.What I love:Exceptional Strength & Durability: This resin really lives up to the "ABS-like" name. It has just the right balance of toughness and flexibility. No more brittle prints that snap under light pressure—perfect for parts that need to handle a bit of stress.Great Print Quality: The detail this resin captures is fantastic. Surface finish is smooth, and sharp edges are crisp. Ideal for mechanical parts or highly detailed minis.Low Viscosity & Easy Cleanup: Flows well, settles fast, and doesn’t leave sticky residue in the vat. Cleaning prints is easier compared to older resin formulas I've used.Consistent Curing: Cures reliably under 405nm UV with predictable exposure times. No warping or unexpected curing issues.Value for Money: The 2000g bottle lasts a long time, and considering the quality, it’s an excellent deal.A small heads-up:The smell is still there (as with any resin), so proper ventilation is a must. But it’s definitely less pungent than cheaper alternatives.Overall, if you’re looking for a tough, reliable resin that delivers high-quality results without the brittleness of standard resins, this is it. ELEGOO nailed it with this 3.0 version. Highly recommended!

Quick update:One negative that I'm finding is that it's super brittle. A lot of resins will kind of shear off if you cut them with a hobby knife, but this stuff straight up shatters, sometimes taking a good amount of the surrounding area with it. If you drop it, it will break. It seems like they're getting away from the "ABS" part of the name with this one. ABS and styrene have some give to them and they tend to bend (and turn white) rather than break. Still love the success rate and print quality though.***I've tried a lot of different resin brands and "types", and this is by far the best. It's way less temperature dependent than any I've used, for one.But the best thing is that I haven't had a failed print yet when printing multiple models at the same time on my Anycubic Photon Mono 2. Anyone who has one knows that it can often fail multi-model prints unless it's absolutely perfectly level, which is a pain in itself. This resin seems to give a wider margin of error in all respects. Definitely get this if you have a budget printer, it'll help cut down your frustration a lot.Now, with most resins, a good alcohol bath softens the supports enough to make them easy to remove, which is handy. This stuff doesn't, but it does respond well to hot water. It's an extra step, but it's much tougher resin so it's no big deal. Overall it's an A+!

I probably go through one of these every 2 weeks when I have an active D&D campaign, printing out masses of minis.During breaks, if you leave the resin in your tank, it will somewhat separate into a dark grey and light grey, but after 2 minutes of gentle mixing it'll be fine. ... leave it in for a month, and you'll get some white solids; they will actually reintegrate, but you'll want to pour as much of everything back into the bottle and give it a long healthy shake. Prints made with this seem to come out fine, so it can't be that bad, right? The stuff in the bottle stays shelf-stable for at least a month or two after opening, maybe longer - it doesn't last long around my house so I can't say.Elegoo stopped including foam inserts and a small soft brush in each box, but that's probably for the best. The container is already very rugged so the intended-for-the-garbage foam inserts were unnecessary, and after you have one or two cleanup brushes, you really don't need too many more.Great stuff though, I should probably make a subscription.

Purchased this to print skulls for my students to be able to study in-class. The prints produced from this resin have been durable (i.e., standing up to use by students) and the detail captured in the prints is great! Would caution that as with most resins used, that proper precations are taken in terms of fumes/particles to avoid any health concerns.

This is by far the best valued 'tough' resin I've had the chance to use. Prints quite cleanly and I can't notice any loss of detail over standard resins using my Saturn 4 Ultra. And so far the resins handled my usual rough handling of painted minis quite well. The only issue I had with it was it required a bit more first layer curing time than listed as it had a tendency to fail on larger prints on my particular bed. Certainly not as strong as some of the resins that have some more flex to them, but much less brittle than standard resins. For me, a great compromise so I can rest a bit easier taking my painted minis to tables. The way to product was listed made it a confusing choice between this or the newer 3.0+ resin, which was the same price, but this version at least is going to be my go to for minis I dont mind knocking around.

Everything is as good as all of the other brands. I do like the cheaper prices because it seems to be as good quality as the others.

Another awesome resin by Elegoo. Used on Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra. Not messy at all, barely any smell or stickiness. Adheres very nicely to the base plate and prints come out looking exceptional. Black really pops in the details.

This resin is really great. I’ve been using it in my Saturn printer and I get great results with it. Very limited layer lines and cleans super easy.
