Anycubic Tough Resin ULTRA | How Tough?

How tough is Anycubic Tough Resin Ultra? I perform simple impact testing to show that this resin is seriously tough and a good solution for functional parts.

I am using anycubic's tough resin clear "1.0" ATM to make some flexible "spoons" for an egg-tray packing machine. What I learned is that you can play with the final elasticity of the resin by increasing or decreasing the time the UV light remains "on" during printing.
At the beginning I post-cured the spoons, but this made them less elastic and brittle.
The key in this application is to stop the resin from curing once the desired elasticity is achieved (if that is what you are going for, of course). That's where I'm at.
My 2 cents with the 1.0 tough resin.
I know there are plans to review the 3 resins side by side, that would make for a nice video. 👍.

I really didn't expect the part to get so flexible with temperatures as low as 30 degrees. wow!

This video helped so much for figuring out if this resin would be good for moving parts/high stress parts for prototyping, thank you very much. Ive been looking at resin tendencies to try and figure out what is good for what and I've been trying to find a "Durable" resin because I currently use a "tough" one for everything (anycubics abs like pro 2) and funny enough this "Tough Ultra" is more akin to what the internet describes as "durable." thank you so much.

Wonderful video ! Not many reviews of these out yet. I see a bottle of tough 2.0 as well, review for that coming out soon ? Could you please do a comparison of all three ?

A change in material properties that significant at just 30°C could cause issues at room temperature during a hot summer.

Interesting results from your ultra scientific hammer experiments Colin, perhaps tougher than tough is going to be good to put to the Venomator test… 🤔 😉

[broncofun]

Could you please run this test with the clear version of the Ultra Tough resin? I keep reading everywhere that the clear version is significantly stronger because it is not wakened by the color pigment that is present in the black or gray version.

[hanif-plhd]

that is a very impressive resin, even when it breaks it doesnt fracture into many tiny pieces. just wondering how its rigidity compares to anycubic tough 1.0 and other tough resin you have used

[jaredkrivin]

That looks promising, it looks like it has some dusting going on (maybe that's just from the hammer), I'm curious how well it would do in a ball joint

[FixitFingers]

Is there a resin equivalent of that flexible rubber like filament for standard printers?

After giving up on resin 3d printing and focusing on FDM instead I tried out the new Saturn Ultra 4 and it looks like resin printer makers are FINALLY starting to get it. The best consumer 3d resin printer on the market today by far. Added the Tough Resin Ultra and it printed beautifully with the profile out of the box. Beautiful parts. As to toughness? Well these resin parts will get about as tough as FDM parts. This is comparible to PETG. With the machines for consumer grade #D printers getting so much better, now it is time for the materials to improve. There is a lot of room left to improve. They need to invest in more in material sciences and not just get things off the shelf and pump it out.

Tougher than Tough? That's pretty tough. Seen some guys baking prints in a toaster oven, which is supposed to make prints tougher. Been watching your vids for some time and realised I need some vacuum hose fittings for the CNC mill. I just got some more Tough in black n gray last week and wondered what to use all that black for, my models are usually gray as they will be painted. It could make drone n model boat/airplane props tough.

This looks great I have a bunch of clips I need to print I've used most elegoo resins as my printer is elegoo and there not that great. Will this work on my mars pro? And do you have a settings list?

[Mookl_design]

This is an awesome video thank you! I have been working with the siraya tech and I was wondering how the anycubic would perform. I am using my parts at around -10. At these temperatures the siraya tech is a lot more brittle. It's time to test the anycubic I guess. Ps. the formlabs durable does a better job at these temperatures!

[kingdono]

How about articulated print?
Like action figures parts
Did this resin loose easily?
I've use uv tough resin but it loose very easily

[HR-ydib]

Thank you for the review!
How is the precision of this resin?

[abimanyuwddn]

Hi there! Thanks for the video! this stuff is great! I plan to get this resin and use it to print small parts, like action figure joints. First thing I notice is the advertisement on this resin shows the exact thing that I was looking for. Small ball and socket joints. If its okay with you, I'd like to know your opinion on this, because I want to print ball joint with 6mm diameter and it's socket with only 1mm wall thickness. I tried some other "tough" resins but haven't tried any of the anycubic "tough" resins. all of the resins that I tested will either: 1. Crack at the socket when trying to insert the ball, or, 2.The socket flex slightly and the ball will fit inside, except over time (a day or two) the socket will expand and will not shrink back to it's original shape, thus making the ball very loose. What do you think? Will this resin do a better job? Thanks in advance!

After review i bought it and it's pretty hard to print! testing out my first prototype on this resin, at 4s layer and 55s first layer the loosened from the bedplate 4 out of 5 models where hanging :)

Why not a controlled vertical drop test?

Man gave himself a shock lol @0:40 🙂
