Anycubic Plant-Based UV Resin 2.0 Gray 1 kg

SKU: SSW2GY

Official color: Gray #7E93A7

⚙️ Anycubic Plant-Based UV Resin 2.0 Gray 1 kg is a soybean-based photopolymer resin for precise resin 3D printing on LCD, MSLA and DLP 3D printers using 365-405 nm / 405 nm UV curing technology. The material combines low odor, fine detail reproduction, stable platform adhesion and improved toughness compared with the previous generation of Anycubic plant-based resin.

The neutral gray color is ideal for prototypes, architectural models, miniatures, engineering parts, decorative models and prints that will be sanded, primed or painted. Gray makes surface details, relief, layer quality and small imperfections easier to inspect before final post-processing.

🌱 Key advantages

• 🌿 Plant-based formulation — made primarily from soybean-based material.
• 👃 Low odor — more comfortable for indoor resin printing compared with many standard resins.
• 💪 Improved toughness — suitable for decorative, prototype and functional models.
• 🎯 High precision — captures fine details, textures and small surface features.
• 📐 Low shrinkage of 3.8-4.5% — helps reduce deformation and preserve model geometry.
• 💧 Low viscosity — flows well, refreshes layers efficiently and is easier to clean after printing.
• 🧼 Easy post-processing — cleaning is performed with 95% IPA.
• 🖌️ Paint-friendly gray finish — convenient for priming, painting and detail work.

🔘 Best uses for Gray resin

• Character figures, miniatures and paint-ready models.
• Architectural models, display pieces and interior models.
• Appearance prototypes and test models before production.
• Engineering and structural R&D prototypes.
• Detailed parts where surface quality and relief inspection matter.
• Models that will be sanded, primed, painted or varnished.

🧩 3D printer compatibility

This resin is compatible with LCD, MSLA and DLP 3D printers using 365-405 nm / 405 nm UV curing technology. It works best with Anycubic Photon Series printers, including Photon Mono M7, M7 Pro, M7 Max, M5, M5s, M5s Pro, Mono 4, Mono 4 Ultra, Mono 2, Mono X2, Mono X 6K, Mono X 6Ks, M3 Max and M3 Premium.

The resin can also be used with compatible resin 3D printers from other brands after proper exposure, lift and bottom layer calibration.

⚠️ Not suitable for FDM/FFF filament 3D printers, because this 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.
• Check that the vat bottom is transparent and the FEP, nFEP, PFA or ACF film is not damaged.
• The recommended operating temperature is above 20 ℃.
• Do not fill the resin vat above the maximum fill line.
• After printing, wash the model with 95% IPA or a suitable resin cleaner.
• Dry the model completely before final UV post-curing.
• Post-cure at 405 nm to achieve stable mechanical properties.

🛡️ Safety and storage

• Use gloves, protective eyewear and good ventilation.
• Avoid contact of liquid resin with skin and eyes.
• Store the bottle tightly closed, away from sunlight and heat sources.
• Do not leave liquid resin in an open vat for a long time.
• Fully UV-cure resin waste before disposal.
• Keep away from children, pets and food products.
