Anycubic Water-Wash ABS-Like Resin 3.0 – Tough Functional Resin for LCD/MSLA Printers
Anycubic Water-Wash ABS-Like Resin 3.0 combines the convenience of water-washable cleaning with ABS-like mechanical properties. This photopolymer resin offers enhanced impact toughness, low shrinkage, and minimal odor, making it ideal for functional parts that require both durability and dimensional accuracy. Simply rinse with water after printing – no isopropyl alcohol required.
Perfect for functional prototypes, load-bearing parts, miniatures, housings, and any application where strength and precision matter. The approximately 2x toughness compared to standard resins means parts resist bending and cracking under stress.

Anycubic Water-Wash ABS-Like Resin FAQ
Q: Do I really not need IPA to wash prints?
A: Correct. Water-Wash ABS-Like Resin contains hydrophilic additives that allow uncured resin to dissolve in water. A quick rinse under running water or in an ultrasonic cleaner with water is sufficient.
Q: How long can I leave prints in water?
A: Do not leave prints soaking for extended periods. A quick rinse is sufficient. Prolonged water exposure can affect the mechanical properties of the cured resin.
Q: What makes this resin “ABS-like”?
A: The resin has approximately 2x the toughness of standard resins, with better impact resistance, flexibility, and crack resistance – properties similar to ABS plastic.
Q: Is this compatible with my resin printer?
A: Yes, this resin works with any LCD, MSLA, or DLP printer operating at 365-405nm wavelength, including Anycubic, Elegoo, Phrozen, Creality, and other brands.
Q: How do I dispose of uncured resin?
A: Never pour uncured resin down the drain. Expose waste resin to UV light until fully cured, then dispose of as solid waste according to local regulations.
