There are some ABS-like water-washable resins out now. It would be great if you could try them out or even see if they could be mixed with the SUNLU water-washable (you tried in this video) to see if that could decrease the brittleness. Also, if you are in touch with SUNLU to see if they might release a water-washable ABS-like (more bendy) resin.
for my FDM printer my go to is SUNLU been using it for years, today ive got the SLA printer out after a couple years in the cupboard, thinking of giving this ago
I'm still not sold on water washable resins. I was very impressed with the Sunlu standard, and this weekend I tried out their ABS Like. It's not as thin as the standard, but WOW is it bendy. I dropped a skeleton spearman from chest height onto the concrete floor, and zero damage. 100% convinced that it is what I'll use for minis from now on. I've still got 4 or 5L of standard, but that can be used for bases, terrain, or stuff I'm sure I won't destroy because I'm a klutz.
I'm a big fan of Sunlu (and Jayo) resin, the lower viscosity seems to result in much less shrinkage in the prints. With the Elegoo resin I was using previously I found that the parts of many multi-part models wouldn't fit together properly. The main consideration in changing from ABS-like to water washable resin for me would be the overall difference in cost; water washable resin tends to be more expensive so the increased outlay for resin would have to offset the additional cost of IPA. Having said that, I would certainly welcome reduced exposure times and if the prints are more brittle then perhaps it's something I'd use specifically for bases and other less spiky models.
Yeah I always thought multi part stuff not fitting was just something to deal with but not so much with the Sunlu, I just used the rest of the bottle on bases and base bitz
All water wash (ABS-Like, or not) are way too brittle for most uses!! Then you have the 'future cracking' issue. So all in all, a waste of time and money!!

Those are some great prints, if I ever get back to trying printing I’ll look this resin up.
Hi, if you mix the toughness resin into the water washable (around 15% by weight toughness) it still water washable and mitigates the brittleness!

The Sunlu abs like is deffo my go-to, I still haven't tried the standard but it might be worth a shot mixing with the toughness.

The Imitation of Life designs look cool. Warhammer-Ed Johnny Five.
if u like the SunLu ABS like, there is SunLu ABS like WATER WASHABLE, for very strong, highly detailed minatures it is great.
Sunlu have a water washable Abs like now, be interested to see your opinions on that. I just ordered a couple of kilos at the black Friday price.
Please share your experience with the abs-like water washable 🙏🏼
Ok might have to take a look
What exposure settings are you using with the water washable.
