As the best-selling resin of Anycubic, this Standard Colored UV Resin delivers balanced performance in terms of printing success rate, stickiness with print bed, model details, printing precision, hardness, resilience, smell, fluidity and ease in cleaning.
Anycubic Standard Resin Grey HD 1 kg
🧪 Anycubic Standard Resin Grey HD 1 kg is a versatile photopolymer resin for accurate 3D printing on LCD/DLP resin printers with 365-405 nm UV curing. The Grey HD color, also known as High Density Grey or dark grey, is especially useful for miniatures, technical prototypes, engineering parts, architectural models, master models, figurines, and prints intended for sanding, priming, and painting.
🎯 The dark grey shade provides strong visual contrast: fine details, layers, relief, support marks, post-processing defects, and surface quality are easier to inspect before finishing. This makes Grey HD a practical choice for professional model checking, prototyping, and paint-ready resin printing.

❓ Frequently asked questions
Yes. It is a standard Anycubic resin designed for stable printing and simple setup. The dark grey shade is especially useful for beginners because details, defects, supports, and surface quality are easy to see. Grey HD means High Density Grey, a dark grey shade commonly used for high-detail models, technical parts, miniatures, and prototypes where strong surface visibility is important. Dark grey resin provides strong contrast and helps reveal small details, relief, defects, support marks, and post-processing quality. It is one of the most practical shades for prototypes and paint-ready models. Yes, if the printer supports 365-405 nm photopolymer resins or standard 405 nm LCD/DLP materials. Exposure settings should be calibrated with a test print. Printed models should be washed with 95% IPA or a compatible resin cleaner. After washing, the model must be dried and post-cured with UV light. Mixing resins from different brands, colors, or material types is not recommended without testing. If resins are mixed, exposure, lift speed, and post-processing settings must be recalibrated. Unused resin can be filtered through a resin filter and returned to the original bottle. Store it in a dark, cool, and dry place.Is Anycubic Standard Resin Grey HD suitable for beginners?
