Use a 0.30 breakpoint in your supports it creates a ball on the tip so when the support is removed it leaved a wee ball nub that flakes or picks off or sands without the tip going into the surface

Sunlu ABS Like has been my goto resin for over a year now, 2.1/2.2sec per layer on my Mars 3

[xeraoh]

1:45 - running 4.75sec wow that is really high, I use this resin about 2-2.3 sec on my epax E10 printers (with saturn 1 lcd) also 2sec on Saturn3Ultra and works without fail

I keep a flush cutter for supports that stays as a dirty cutter with resin residue on it. I wash it in alcohol. But it is devoted to the purpose. I think I'd just cut the supports, leave a bit of them attached to the model. Then wash and cure. Then use my flush cutter I keep for plastic to trim them. Cuts out the divots from the supports. It'd probably be a bit like trimming sprues on factory plastic minis. I'd already been using Sunlu standard to decent use. But for a bit more I'd be willing to try this for sure.

My favourite too! Can't believe how good it is to the elegoo ABS 2.0 I was 4.9 exposed on the 2.0 and broke very easy! I'm on my 5th bottle sunlu now won't go to anything else now amd not been able to break anything yet! Not that I try but accidents happen and this Sunlu is just might and day to elegoos abs in my saturn 2! I just got a 2kg bottle today off amazon for 29.89 it was 19.19 for 1kg bottle from 24 last week it just keeps coming down its Fantastic! Just hope it stays this way and people don't go near it because of the cheap name as I did and know afew like this haha! The best secret Resin ever! 😂

The thing that i dont see many people talk about with ABS resin is that it is just more satisfying to hold. I don't really know how to describe it but ABS feels "softer" then other resins. The best way i can describe it, but not accurately, is that regular resin feels like cheap hard plastics in a cars interior and the ABS resin feels like a car interior with a soft reburized texture.

this was my first resin ive ever used in black abs like and i make very thick structural model prints with it and its never failed me i am scared to try other resin at this point lol

[WarLore]

well my man, i have been convinced. I just got a Mars 4 and I gut Sunlu ABS-Like.

wish me luck. I don't know much about how to dial things in, but here we go!!!

2:28 that looks exactly like GW's eldar transport carrier.
Is that model by ghamak?

Just finished going through an calibrating my Saturn 8K with the Elegoo ABS-Like v2 and like you have had to go as high as 5secs to get just ONE cone on the Cones of Calibration. 5.5s gave me 3 out of five sucess on the Cones v3.
This is quite a shock after coming from the SirayaTech Fast ABS-Like (which isn't) which was I think 2.5 and 240mm/m lift LOL.

[RockOnGrafter]

I will definitely try it out. Thanks for sharing!

[erridian]

Haha, told you it was great XD Sunlu is my go-to for sure!

[JohnVanderbeck]

I don't know if it comes down to difference sin machines but those exposure times seem insanely long to me. I have an Elegoo Saturn Ultra and mostly print with Syra Tech resins and my exposure times around around 2s or even less. 5s exposure times would more than double my prints which would be insane.

Been working with the Anycubic Tough v2 and I'm not very impressed with the surface detail compared to my usual prints. Just to be clear my business is precision printing and very accurate surface detail (rivet heads and wood textures) something I don't seem to be able to get so far. Any tips/suggestions..?

[slow-moe]

I have also completely switched to this resin.

[adamningsk]

I got it directly from china(TaoBao) 2kg for just US$35 including shipping to Singapore.

[GeorgMierau]

Keeping in mind what it is (a very affordable product) I'm actually quite impressed by Sunlu ABS-like! I like the warm "Dark Grey" color and it prints just fine. My only "problem" with it is the manufacturing date format: "G15C D04A"? Any idea how to read it?

[windforward]

I use it all the time I have print well over 50+ kg’ s the last 2 months. On my elegoo mars2p, mars 3, mars 4 dlp, Anycubic mono X and the uniform ATI on GKtwo with great results the fails I had where on me do to angle and other issues.
. However would not use it on the Anycubic M5s too soft have a lot pull off the supports had a lot of failures on it was so bad I bought the GKTWO was using the Mars 3 to due some of those prints had to do angle them nearly straight up and down the print took up nearly the whole build plate. Note most of my prints can be bigger prints the take a little bit of time. HAD TWO M5s. I have in stock 15 Kgs of the product since it come out use it on everything.

[JHAD]

That's impressive. Every other resin I've seen will snap as soon as you bend it even a tiny bit!

My only issue with the sunlu ABS-like resin (or any other ABS-like resin probably, i had the same issue with the Anycubic one) is the underside where all the supports go is guaranteed to be less crisp in detail than the unsupported areas. Seems like the supports end up stretching the layers ever so slightly. I've been told to try and go higher than 180mm/m lift speed, and i'm running at 210mm/m at the moment, but i still get this issue. Do you have any specific settings that somehow fix this? Or is it just a sacrifice i have to live with for the benefits of the ABS-like properties
