Anycubic Water Wash ABS Like Resin 3.0 water washable ABS like resin for 3D printers

Anycubic Water Wash ABS Like Resin 3.0 is a modern water washable photopolymer resin with enhanced impact toughness and accuracy for LCD and DLP 3D printers operating at 365 - 405 nm. Hydrophilic additives in the formula allow uncured resin residue to be washed off with water which reduces post processing time and cost and lowers the consumption of isopropyl alcohol and other solvents.

Water Wash ABS Like Resin 3.0 offers a balanced combination of stiffness and flexibility low shrinkage and minimal odor. It is suitable for printing functional parts load bearing elements figurines and prototypes where dimensional accuracy and crack resistance under impact are important.

Key features and advantages of Anycubic Water Wash ABS Like Resin 3.0

• Water washable formula and slight odor uncured resin residue can be rinsed with water making post processing faster cheaper and more comfortable.
• Low viscosity and fast printing reduced viscosity and good flow allow the resin to return quickly to the exposure area which shortens overall print time and improves process stability.
• High precision and low shrinkage the resin provides high detail sharp surface reproduction and low molding shrinkage of 4 - 5 percent which reduces the risk of warping and dimensional deviations.
• Balanced impact toughness and stiffness Water Wash ABS Like Resin 3.0 is less prone to brittle failure and can withstand bending and impact which is important for clips latches brackets and other load bearing parts.
• Minimal odor and comfortable use a refined low odor formula makes printing more pleasant when standard ventilation and protective measures are observed.
• Wide compatibility the resin is compatible with all LCD and DLP printers using 405 nm UV light and is optimized for the latest Anycubic models such as Photon Mono M7 Max M7 Pro M7 Photon Mono 4 Ultra Photon Mono 4 Photon Mono M5s Pro Photon Mono M5s and Photon Mono M5.

Typical applications

• Anime and game figurines miniatures and tabletop models with high surface detail and good durability.
• Prototypes of housings and mechanical parts for consumer electronics appliances and gadgets.
• Functional and load bearing elements such as latches clips hinges and snap fit parts.
• Shells and structural parts for engineering and automotive prototypes including brackets covers and mounting components.
• Master models for silicone molding and small batch production of plastic parts.

Recommended printing parameters on Anycubic printers

The table below lists recommended starting parameters for Anycubic Water Wash ABS Like Resin 3.0 on the latest Photon Mono M7 and Photon Mono M5 series printers. Use these values as a baseline and fine tune for your specific machine environment and model.

Printing and post processing guide

1. Before printing shake the bottle thoroughly to mix pigment and resin evenly. Make sure the resin vat and build plate are clean and the FEP or NFEP film at the bottom of the vat is clear and undamaged.
2. During printing pour the required amount of resin into the vat close the printer cover and select the Water Wash ABS Like Resin 3.0 profile in your slicer or set the recommended exposure parameters manually.
3. After printing remove the build plate and carefully detach the model using a scraper or thin blade. Always wear gloves and use proper tools for safe handling.
4. Cleaning and final curing rinse the model in clean water optionally using an ultrasonic cleaner or an Anycubic Wash and Cure station then dry the part and perform final UV curing in a curing chamber or under sunlight while controlling the curing time to avoid over curing.

Safety recommendations

• Store uncured resin in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and high temperature.
• Work at an ambient temperature of 18 - 35 ℃ and if needed preheat the resin slightly but not above 60 ℃.
• If pigment separation occurs shake the bottle again before use until the resin becomes uniform.
• Do not leave printed parts immersed in water for a long time after washing to avoid loss of mechanical properties.
• Always wear gloves provide adequate ventilation and avoid contact of resin with skin and eyes.

Frequently asked questions

What types of models are best printed with Water Wash ABS Like Resin 3.0?

The resin is suitable for figurines functional prototypes housings and structural parts load bearing elements jigs and fixtures and other models that require impact toughness and accurate dimensions.

Does Water Wash ABS Like Resin 3.0 have a strong smell?

The resin has a slight and less aggressive odor compared to many standard photopolymers but printing in a well ventilated area and using personal protective equipment is still recommended.

What is the best way to clean models printed with this resin?

The main advantage of Water Wash ABS Like Resin 3.0 is that uncured residue can be washed away with water. For more intensive cleaning you can use dedicated washing solutions and Anycubic Wash and Cure stations in washing mode.

Can I use this resin on non Anycubic printers?

Yes the resin is compatible with any LCD or DLP printer that uses 405 nm UV light. When using it on third party printers start from the recommended settings and fine tune exposure time for best results.

What should I do if prints fail frequently?

Check the condition and cleanliness of the FEP or NFEP film verify build plate leveling and exposure settings and make sure the resin is within the recommended temperature range. Adjust the parameters step by step or refer to official Anycubic guidelines if issues persist.
