Anycubic ABS-Like + 3D Printer Resin 1kg - Tough, High Precision

In this review the Anycubic ABS-Like + resin is evaluated as a workhorse material for makers and prototype builders who need prints that resist cracking and deliver fine detail. The bottom line: this 1kg grey photopolymer balances high precision surface finish with improved toughness, making it ideal for parts that must survive handling and functional tests without shattering. After using it on several LCD and DLP printers the standout trait is consistent dimensional accuracy and a resilience that reduces post-print failures compared with brittle resins.

Key Features

• Not Easy To Break: The formula offers good resilience so printed parts can be bent slightly without breaking, which reduces scrap on delicate components.
• Ultra High Precision: Designed for detailed 8K-capable LCD and DLP printing, it produces smooth surfaces and clear print details with low shrinkage.
• Crash-Proof Parts: Prints show high impact strength and withstand compressive stress and normal tensile forces for functional prototypes.
• Extended Shelf Life: Improved packaging and formulation extend the usable life to about 18 months, reducing waste from expired bottles.
• Wide Compatibility: Works with most LCD/DLP printers at 365-405nm wavelengths and is suitable for industrial parts, models, and DIY projects.

Who It's For

The Anycubic ABS-Like + resin is best for hobbyists, makers, and small workshops printing durable prototypes, mechanical parts, or architectural models that require high impact resistance and fine detail. It suits those who need a balance between toughness and surface quality rather than a flexible rubber-like material.

Those who need food-safe, medical-grade, or extremely flexible elastomeric resins should look elsewhere, since this formulation targets rigidity and toughness for structural prints rather than soft or biocompatible applications.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High impact strength produces crash-resistant, functional parts suitable for testing and assembly.
• Excellent dimensional accuracy and low shrinkage deliver crisp details for models and prototypes.
• Improved shelf life of around 18 months reduces waste from expiration.
• Broad compatibility across most LCD and DLP printers using 365-405nm curing wavelengths.

Cons

• Not intended for applications requiring extreme flexibility or medical safety certifications.
• Transparent parts may yellow if curing and storage guidelines are not followed.

Our Verdict

The Anycubic ABS-Like + resin is a strong choice for makers and small shops that need reliable, detailed prints with improved toughness. It offers good value for functional prototyping and model-making thanks to its low shrinkage, high impact resistance, and extended shelf life, making it worth considering if durability and precision matter more than extreme flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this resin compatible with my LCD or DLP printer?
Yes; the resin is formulated for 365-405nm LCD and DLP printers and is broadly compatible with most machines that use those wavelengths.

How long does the resin last unopened?
Anycubic upgraded the formula and packaging to extend the shelf life to about 18 months under recommended storage conditions.

Will printed transparent parts yellow over time?
Transparent models can yellow if overcured or exposed to direct sunlight; controlling post-cure time (about 2-3 minutes) and avoiding sun drying will reduce yellowing.
