Anycubic Tough Resin 2.0 Black 1 kg
Anycubic Tough Resin 2.0 Black 1 kg is a black tough photopolymer resin for LCD, MSLA and DLP resin 3D printers. It is designed for strong, flexible and accurate prints that require improved resistance to bending, impact, drops and mechanical stress.
The black color is especially useful for technical parts, housings, functional prototypes, decorative models, figures, engineering samples and projects where a deep dark finish is needed without mandatory painting. It gives printed parts a clean, solid and professional appearance.
Anycubic Tough Resin 2.0 combines high flexibility, impact resistance, strong elongation at break, low shrinkage and accurate detail reproduction. It is suitable for functional prototypes, R&D parts, thin-walled models, fixtures, housings, jigs and decorative models where ordinary standard resin may be too brittle.
🎯 Features and advantages
- 💪 Improved impact resistance — better resistance to drops, bending and local mechanical loads compared with many standard resins.
- 🔁 High flexibility — suitable for parts that require both rigidity and moderate elastic deformation.
- 📐 High printing precision — low shrinkage helps preserve geometry, fine details, edges, textures and fitting dimensions.
- ⚫ Black color — a practical choice for technical, decorative, housing and presentation models.
- 🧩 Good for thin-walled parts — helps maintain structural integrity even in small and complex elements.
- 🛠 Easy support removal — supports detach more easily, reducing the risk of damaging the print during post-processing.
- 🌬 Low-odor formulation — more comfortable to work with than many traditional resins, while ventilation, gloves and eye protection are still required.
- 🖥️ Wide compatibility — compatible with LCD, MSLA and DLP resin 3D printers using 365-405 nm / 405 nm UV curing after calibration.

❓ FAQ
Is Anycubic Tough Resin 2.0 Black suitable for beginners?
Yes. It is suitable for users with basic resin printing experience. For stable results, calibrate exposure, shake the resin well before use and follow proper washing and final curing recommendations.
How is Black different from Gray, White or Clear?
Black is better for technical parts, housings, decorative models, miniatures and projects where a deep dark finish is needed without mandatory painting.
Can I use this resin with non-Anycubic printers?
Yes, if the printer supports 365-405 nm / 405 nm photopolymer resin. For other printer brands, exposure testing and calibration are recommended.
Do I need to wash the model after printing?
Yes. Wash the printed model in 95% IPA for at least 3 minutes, dry it thoroughly and then perform final UV curing.
Is this resin suitable for functional parts?
Yes. Tough Resin 2.0 is suitable for functional prototypes, small technical components, brackets, housings and parts that require improved resistance to impact and bending.
Do printed models need painting?
Not necessarily. The black version already provides a deep dark appearance. If needed, the model can be primed, sanded, painted or clear-coated after full washing, drying and final curing.
Is this resin suitable for FDM printers?
No. This is a liquid photopolymer resin for LCD, MSLA and DLP resin printers. FDM/FFF printers require plastic filament.
