As someone who prints miniatures(warhammer) for tabletop gaming, i bought 2.0 without even knowing that the impact resistance was that big, as you have shown, i bought the resin actually due to your first video on tough resin. But to the main point, so i personally tested the various minis i printed by just simply dropping them onto a ceramic tile floor from about a meter~ as that's how tall most tables are and even more hefty prints were unscathed, only extremely small appendages would sometimes break off (1mm thick and 4mm long lascannon for example). I was very impressed with the results, as standard or plant based resin prints would just shatter even being dropped on softer surfaces from that height EDIT: i did however notice that the clear resin has more toughness/flexibility than coloured resin,in my opinion this is due to dilution that the pigments caused when mixed with UV resin, as resin is clear by default when it's factory made
Hey, thanks for your comment. I’m glad that my first video on tough resin was helpful, and that 2.0 is working for you. Once I discovered ‘tough’ resins I never went back to non-tough resins. Too much work for things to break so easily. Thanks for the tip on clear resin. I’m going to try that. BTW, it looks like Anycubic is running down stock of the original. It’s not available to many of the shipping destinations anymore.
thank man for your review ! I'm doing miniature wargaming (WH40k because in Québec, Canada this just start to be discovert and I want to help new players) I got a question, how many time do cure them in the cure station with the Though 2.0? and do you have problem with shrinkage? because I use ABS-LIKe V2 and my pieces (specialy the tanks and others big units) never fit
Thank you for your review, can you make a recommendation for small engineering parts with respect to toughness but also quality of print. I found some resins deform and I have had trouble with Anycubic tough resin ultra not sticking to the build plate.
Thanks for your question. You could try Sirayatech Build. Print detail is good and not as flexible as the Ultra. Another one I’ve got experience with is Anycubic Crafstman DLP resin. Great detail and not as brittle as standard resin. For build plate adhesion you could try re-levelling your build plate. It might look right to the naked eye, and not give problems with other resins. But I’ve had this problem once before too. Suddenly prints just started coming away from the build plate on one side. I was surprised at how a quick re-level fixed the adhesion problem straight away.
Thanks for your question. In my testing...Anycubic Tough Resin Ultra has the best impact resistance. But it can also get a bit soft in warmer conditions. Ameralabs TGM-7 is the next best because it maintains its shape better with fluctuating temperature and has unlimited colour mixing options. But that makes it more expensive. And, surprisingly, a lesser known brand of Antinsky High Tough resin is also very good. And, if you're looking for a water washable version, my recent review of Nova3D water washable resin showed surprisingly good results. ua-cam.com/video/TA6vlslrEpU/v-deo.html That's four resins which should give you some good purchasing options, depending on where you are located.
@@taktikairsoft That's where the Antinsky resin may interest you. It's currently listed under $40USD. But, it only comes in white. antinsky.com/products/antinsky-high-tough-uv-resin-with-405nm-and-low-shrinkage-for-lcd-dlp-3d-printer-resin
Good question. Hard to recommend one for everything. I'd say that Tough 2.0 is OK in compression with good hardness, but not as good as 1.0 for impacts. Then, Ultra is way better for high impact, but more flexible as a result, and possibly too flexible for some applications. I think Anycubic should have kept Tough 1.0 in the range. BTW, Ultra is excellent for returning to its original shape after serious deformation. That's worth a video all on its own.

been trying to find a solid review from the perspective of a wargaming minis printer, this is perfect, thank you.

What was the best impact resin you have tested. Thank you
RESIONE was a recommendation but I'm looking for a solution for under 40$ USD for 1kg

@ColinKlupiec thank you. I will look into theme 🙏🏼

@@taktikairsoft You're welcome. Always happy to help my small community where I can.
Can you tint the white resin for custom colors?
Thanks for your question. The answer is...I think so. I've had success blending the original Tough resin. ua-cam.com/video/EfQXWcAqLCk/v-deo.html
you are great thank you
Thanks 👍
Hi Colin. So what would you recommend more? Anycubic tough or though ultra? Seems like 2.0 is wuite bad and brittle.

@@ColinKlupiec I am looking for something close to real ABS in everything. Impossible for now, I know haha
