ANYCUBIC ABS-Like Resin 3.0 Black - Strong, Low-Shrinkage 4kg

In this review of the ANYCUBIC ABS-Like Resin 3.0, the bottom line is simple: this 4kg black resin is aimed at makers and small shops who need prints that resist cracking and hold fine detail. The reviewer found it especially useful where prints will be handled, drilled, or bent, because the material combines a Shore hardness of 86D with about 30% elongation at break, which reduces failure during post-processing. Overall it suits projects that require toughness plus high precision rather than flexible or soft prototypes.

Key Features

• High strength: Shore hardness of 86D gives durable parts that resist chips and cracking during drilling and handling.
• Improved fracture resistance: Around 30% elongation at break boosts bending resilience for parts that see mechanical stress.
• High precision and low shrinkage: Lower shrinkage yields sharper details and a smooth finish for intricate models and contours.
• Lower viscosity: Higher fluidity helps the resin flow back into the print area more quickly, which can reduce overall print time.
• Wide printer compatibility: Works with LCD and DLP printers operating in the 365-405nm wavelength range, fitting most common resin machines.
• Minimal odor: Low-odor formulation improves the printing environment and makes longer sessions more tolerable.

Who It's For

This resin is best for hobbyists, prototypers, and small production runs where parts must be strong and dimensionally accurate, such as functional housings, mounts, and display models. The toughness makes it a good choice for pieces that will be sanded, drilled, or otherwise post-processed.

It is less appropriate for applications that require very flexible or rubber-like properties, or for users who need a wide palette of colors in small volumes; this listing focuses on a 4kg black package intended for durability and precision rather than color variety.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent crack resistance and drillability thanks to strong Shore hardness.
• Good bending resilience with increased elongation at break for fewer print failures under stress.
• Low shrinkage and smooth surface finish improve fine detail reproduction.
• Lower viscosity helps speed up cure cycles and reduces print times.

Cons

• Offered as a 4kg black option here, so color choices and smaller pack sizes are not represented.
• Not intended for applications requiring rubber-like flexibility.

Our Verdict

ANYCUBIC ABS-Like Resin 3.0 is a solid choice for users who need tough, accurate resin prints that stand up to post-processing and mechanical stress. The combination of high hardness, improved elongation, low shrinkage, and lower viscosity makes the 4kg black pack a good value for hobbyists and small shops that prioritize durability and detail over color variety.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work in my LCD printer?
Yes, it is compatible with most LCD and DLP printers that use 365-405nm wavelengths, which covers the majority of common machines.

Is it suitable for parts that need drilling?
Yes, the high Shore hardness and crack resistance make it suitable for drilling and other post-processing without easy fracture.

Does it emit strong fumes?
The formulation is marketed as low-odor, offering a milder printing environment than many standard resins.
