Anycubic ECO Plant-based UV Resin Gray 1 kg

SKU: SSWGY

Official product line: Anycubic Plant-based UV Resin+ / Anycubic Plant-based UV Eco-Resin+

Color: Gray 🔘

Anycubic ECO Plant-based UV Resin Gray 1 kg is a plant-based photopolymer resin for LCD, MSLA and DLP 3D printers using 365-405 nm UV curing technology. It is designed for accurate resin 3D printing of models, miniatures, prototypes, architectural mockups and decorative parts with fine detail, low shrinkage and a lighter odor compared with many standard resins.

Gray is one of the most versatile colors for resin printing. It makes relief, small details, surface texture and potential imperfections easier to see before sanding, priming or painting. This makes Gray ECO Plant-based UV Resin Anycubic especially useful for miniatures, engineering prototypes, figures, housings, master models and paint-ready parts.

🌱 Key advantages

• 🌿 Plant-based formulation — made with a plant-based resin system using soy extract.
• 👃 Low odor — more comfortable for indoor resin printing when proper ventilation is used.
• 💪 Improved impact resistance — printed models are less brittle and more resistant to mechanical stress.
• 🧩 Balanced toughness and resilience — suitable for both decorative and prototype parts.
• 🎯 High detail reproduction — captures fine features, thin lines and surface textures.
• 📐 Low shrinkage of 3.72-4.24% — helps reduce deformation and preserve model geometry.
• ⚙️ 365-405 nm compatibility — suitable for most LCD, MSLA and DLP resin 3D printers.
• 🧼 Easy cleaning — printed models can be cleaned with alcohol, IPA or ethanol ≥95%.
• 📦 1.5-year shelf life — when stored properly in a closed bottle away from light.

🔘 Why Gray is useful for resin 3D printing

• Gray makes the model shape and surface quality easy to inspect.
• Ideal for checking details before final post-processing.
• Convenient for sanding, priming, painting and varnishing.
• Suitable for miniatures, figures, mockups and engineering prototypes.
• Does not visually distort surface relief as much as very dark or transparent colors.

🧩 3D printer compatibility

This resin is compatible with LCD, MSLA and DLP resin 3D printers using 365-405 nm / 405 nm UV curing technology. It works especially well with Anycubic Photon Series printers, including Photon Mono, Photon Mono X, Photon Mono X 6K, Photon Mono 4K, Photon Ultra, Photon Mono SE, Photon Mono SQ, Photon M3, Photon M3 Plus, Photon M3 Max, Photon D2 and Photon M3 Premium.

It can also be used with compatible resin printers from other brands after calibrating normal exposure, bottom exposure, lift height and Z-axis movement speed.

Important: this resin is not suitable for FDM/FFF filament 3D printers because it is a liquid photopolymer resin, not plastic filament.

🧪 Usage recommendations

• Shake the resin bottle well before use.
• Clean the resin vat and build plate before printing.
• Make sure the vat bottom is transparent and the release film is not damaged.
• Select the correct print settings for your specific printer.
• Do not fill the resin vat above the recommended level.
• After printing, remove the model with a spatula and carefully remove supports.
• Wash the model with IPA, ethanol ≥95% or another suitable resin cleaner.
• After washing, fully dry the model before UV post-curing.

🛡️ Safety and storage

• Store the resin sealed, away from light, sunlight and heat sources.
• The recommended operating temperature is 18-35 ℃.
• Low temperature may reduce printing performance.
• If pigment settles, stir the resin with a plastic scraper or shake the bottle well.
• Use nitrile gloves, eye protection and good ventilation.
• Avoid contact of liquid resin with skin, eyes, children and pets.
• Fully cure resin waste with UV light before disposal.

❓ FAQ

Yes. Although it has low odor, it is still a liquid photopolymer resin. Gloves, eye protection and ventilation are required.

Can I print with this resin on Anycubic Photon Mono?

Yes. The resin is compatible with Anycubic Photon Mono and other 365-405 nm LCD/MSLA/DLP resin printers after proper parameter calibration.

How should I clean the model after printing?

The model can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol, ethanol ≥95% or another suitable cleaner for photopolymer resin.

Is this resin suitable for FDM printers?

No. This is a liquid resin for resin 3D printers. FDM/FFF printers require filament.
