I believe that’s largely just the way that light plays on that color of resin. Beige or Tan resin or dark grey resins usually just look better to the eye right after printing. Prime them and the details are probably nearly identical.
My go to is sunlu toughness. Prices fluctuate but I usually buy a few bottles when they hit around ~$20/kg but it's usually either only in the white or black. Definitely recommend for printing miniatures.
I have printed a lot of minis using the Sunlu ABS like and have been happy with the results. I did notice I had to dial in my curing times as if I went over it got kind of brittle, but I am a rookie with this stuff.
Awesome video as always. I was recently pointed at Ministry of Resin and I'm thinking of trying it to replace brittle resin that is elegoo abs-like Grey
I used SUNLU ABS-like for over a year, but was running into failures with larger sections of my prints - even at 2.5 sec per layer - on my Mono X 6Ks. I switched it up to Elegoo ABS-like 3.0 and those issues have disappeared and I was able to drop the layer exposure back to 2.0 sec per layer and the Elegoo has a much lower odor factor. Also, the 2 Kg Elegoo bottles are around $31 on Amazon at the moment making it very cost effective, as well.
I came here to say I stand behind SunLu Nylon like. I used to use the ABS vereion and still will for big items (terrain and vehicles) but the nylon like gives you amazing detail along with flex. Since i switched to the nylon i havnt had a mini break. I use a Saturn 8k.
Sunlu ABS Like was so good for the price when it launched. It was like 17 bucks a Liter. It's still really good for the price, and unless you're beating the crap out of your minis, it's perfect.
Siraya tech fast is for high detail fast curing prints, it is not a "tough" resin at all, nor is it meant to be. That said, any of these take actual abuse to just break, if you even put in minimal effort to care about how you treat your mini's these are fine.
Think you had a bad batch of the Fast from Siraya Tech because it's definitely not that breakable on my end. Though I do use the Navy Gray. Siraya Fast Navy is actually pretty strong and it gets even better with Tenacious.
There are a couple of new resins from Siraya that may be worth checking out. Siraya Fast Tough Grey and Tenacious Easy Grey. These seem like pre-mixed Fast + Tenacious in terms of properties. Not sure what the percentages are. Haven't seen any reviews for either of them yet.
Ah...gotcha....I couldn't see the label clearly in the video. Also the price you gave for it was for the standard Fast Grey. The Fast Tough Grey is more expensive at $45.99.
All of the resins have some amount of odor with them, although to be honest, I wasn't really checking the smell. I'm not that sensitive to resin odor so don't use that as a factor for purchasing but I know some people are.
Could you test something please. Cure sunlu abs like for 5 minutes and see if it is more durable after. I heard from someone that his prints get/stay really flexible after he cured for 5 minutes. I also saw a video of this and it was like he described. I dont have the abs like atm sadly to try it

Thank you for that demonstration. As someone who never Resin printed before, I now have something to go on. I appreciate it.
Great video! Both of the toughness style resin really impressed me. I'm going to have to go with sunlu for the premix could convenience.
I can definitely see the tan resin has sharper details

Sunlu Tough is my go-to from now on for miniature painting. Much better than ABS-like in my testing and still retains a ton of detail.
In what ways is it much better? I'm about to order some Sunlu resin but was aiming for the abs like

If you havnt tried the nylon like give it a go. It's been my main for a about 2 years and going. Amazon or Ebay a bottle runs about 32 to 39.
Thank you for a good comparison.

Have you tried Elegoo ABS like 3.0?
Right now I am printing 50:50 Sunlu Abs Like/Sunlu toughness.
I'm quite happy with that but I havent tested other ratios
I never thought to mix those two together--why not just print all toughness? Is this to save money?
@@gaminggeek241 toughness is to soft for my liking and Abs to brittle so I thought the Mix of these to would work well for me.
@@peypey_it_is That makes sense!
Give the Nylon like a go. I think it may be exactly what you're looking for.

Yes, the version I tested is Siraya Tech Fast ABS-Like Tough Grey. I was disappointed because someone asked me to test it because they like it.
Ah...gotcha....I couldn't see the label clearly in the video. Also the price you gave for it was for the standard Fast Grey. The Fast Tough Grey is more expensive at $45.99.
Iv always seen adding tenacious to the Siraya fast
Was odor a factor for any of these? I'm especially interested in Sunlu Toughness.
All of the resins have some amount of odor with them, although to be honest, I wasn't really checking the smell. I'm not that sensitive to resin odor so don't use that as a factor for purchasing but I know some people are.
Have you tried fauxhammer's wargamer resin?
No, I want to but I don't want to pay for shipping from the UK (I'm in the US).
ITS GARBAGE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

I heard from someone that his prints get/stay really flexible after he cured for 5 minutes. I also saw a video of this and it was like he described. I dont have the abs like atm sadly to try it
Yes, definitely adding more cure time stiffens the resin. I've also found that after time (maybe a few weeks) the resin stiffens up on its own too.
@@gaminggeek241 nah he said curing for 5 mins is getting the print more flexible. so the opposite of what to expect.
What printer did you test on?
Uniformation GKTwo
and these are all post cured?
Yes, all post cured.
Sunlu water washable abs like is the only answer.
