ELEGOO ABS-Like 3.0 3D Printer Resin Grey 1000g

Man this one is hard to write about because it took me about 40 days to really hone in my saturn 16k ultra. Took about 4 bottles of this to hone itinerary alot of mess up and alot of wasted resin. Until a few weeks ago I finally tuned in. It's an amazing resin. Does it smell? Which resin doesn't but it's minimal. Does it give great prints? Yes definitely but there's a catch. Catch is you have to slow down ur printer and you also have to bring down from 5mm to 3mm so it can take its time and get those beautiful prints. Yes it takes me 16 hrs to print a beautiful detailed piece but it's worth all the waiting. For bases and even body parts I do 5mm, exposure 2.3 with 27 sec wait and I I do lift speeds of 60/180 with a 3 sec wait on lift. Aside the long wait it's worth every penny. I tried the elegoo abs like v2 with same everything and this was superior, not by much but when I do a very detail piece this stands out all the way.. awesome resin with low odor

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+!

The 8k space gray is perfect for miniatures. Great detail and the supports are easy to remove.

Good balance between detail and durability. Cleans relatively easily. Hand rinsed in dirty ipa and then wash station with clean ipa. Was able to twist supports off in one piece before washing and curing. Remember to shake the bottle, stir before printing if it sits more than an hour and use good supports. The longer your exposure time the harder it will be to get the supports off and more likely to scar the print. For the love god, wear safety glasses just in case no matter what resin you print with. Otherwise easy day. Saturn 4 ultra Layer height: 0.03mm Normal exposure: 1.6s Base exposure: 22s Base layer number: Transition layer number: Rest before after: 2.5s 26°C

I just did a couple test prints with us and it prints very well. I did not change any settings in my Elegoo satellite slicer. I just used the defaults. The transparency is really nice. I only wonder because I haven’t done any research. If this can be buffed out to have a very shiny surface as well. I’m sure I can.

Originally gave this a negative review but after some fiddling I finally, after 2/3 of a bottle, got a good batch of prints. Despite several rounds of calibration and a lot of messing around I couldn’t get any positive results, whether it was support failures or just rafts forming, I couldn’t get anything to work but turns out cheap resins work fine with cheap FEP films and after replacing the stock film with Siraya Tech NFEP I finally got good results with this product. The negatives I put originally still stand though; this stuff stinks to high hell and it will turn your cleaning tank into a sticky mess. I’m not sure if it’s from mixing with the remnants of a different resin but it now is unusable after only a handful of wash cycles, and leaves a tacky gunk over prints and your basket and vat. If it cleans up easy with fresh alcohol I’ll probably buy again but it’s definitely a pain to work with.

Fantastic resin that flows really easy and cures phenomenally. Don’t over cure it or you’ll still end up being pretty brittle. Absolutely would recommend for any resin printer

Not a thick as the gray version - have not tried printing in white yet but mixed with another resin prints came out good with the mix - bit better than by itself .
