Thank you for making such good content!

I found the ABS is far better myself especially for miniatures with protruding weapons and bits. Just that bit more resilient and no noticeable detail loss

I remember being on elegoo original resin maroon red. Upgraded to abs resin and much better. Never could get behind resin mixing formulas. But couple years ago I switched to phrozen 4k resin and love it. Works better than abs in flexibly and stronger, smell is fine and not strong. I've dropped many models with phrozen 4k and have yet to break one. Not that I haven't broken them in my hands or stubborn supports lol

Don't know if you are still using the elegoo curing station, but you are suppose to remove the brown pelicule on the rotating plate. I think it lets more UV access under the models if you do.

This is exactly what I was searching for, thank you!

The Lychee slicer has community settings for a myriad of printer/resin settings accessible from inside of the program. Some of the folks I talk to on Discord groups for the subscriptions I'm on are swearing by the Siraya Fast Navy Grey.

Good to know that the Elegoo abs-like is fairly decent.

Uncle jessys vroom setting works amazing with this resin.

Personally I have a good bit of it, It is stronger yes but I have found it more "goopy" is the best way to describe it, I have noticed on a couple models that parts of it just stick more when cleaning, especially in tight corners. I like water washable resin alot lately :-)

I have tried this resin on a bigger subject (project enclosure) and it resulted in complete mess - geometry got largely compromised, and in support places bumps on the surface appeared. I think this is because this resin is more flexible, there is a limit on how much tension it can withstand during printing. My guess you can reliably print only small objects with it, especially if supports are used.

[thediscoman]

so what settings did you use on the printer as iv had no luck at all with it

[jinko]

Is this water washable or does it need IPA to clean it ? i have been using Elegoo water washable really liking it so far.

Before priming, a difference in how translucent the plastic is could make a difference in perceivable detail.

Cheers for the video, got my Sub. I actually just received my Tenacious but am yet to mix it with any of my standard Elegoo grey as i use it also as my main resin on Mars 2 Pro.

Great vid! I play tabletop games and have a standard resin mini that breaks. Looking forward to trying this out now.

[ubiratamuniz]

this looks actually promising for functional prints.

I just got that Anycubic UV Tough Resin it is flexible aswell, I'm very impressed with it! The test cube just squashes need alot to break it! I've done a similar mix 9 parts normal basic to 1 part tough same as what the tenatious is but think it needs a 9 pts to 3 this is the next test but what I have learnt recently is flexible resins done give as sharp detail as basic and detail doesn't print whare supports are attached I'm new to the 3D printing it's been a month but everyday at it testing printing etc and just picked up the mono 2 that I have to say is excellent what an upgrade from the mono 4k! I'm going to try this elagoo abs like in the mono 2 with tenatious next

Genuinely thought you were Tyson Fury!

Just delving into your content and curious if you have a video on the odor of different resin brands? That is the biggest deal for me because all seem to be decent to great quality.

Way late to the party here but, You should look into the Elegoo active carbon fan forced filters. I use 1 in my Photon Mono X and smell NOTHING. They're like $25 for 2 with replacement carbon packs on Amazon. You'll be glad ya did.

I buy Anycubic Tuogh resin, and its very good, the key is Not Overcure, with just 4-6 minutes in the uv curing machine(i got creality whash and cure, i got very good "falldown resist" minis and models in general, but over curing, make them more and more strong and lees flexible, about 1 hour of uv exposition makes them br re akable
