ANYCUBIC Water Washable Resin 1kg

Key points

ANYCUBIC Water Washable 2.0 resin is a water-soluble photopolymer made for 405nm LCD and DLP printers, presented here in grey and in a 1kg bottle. It aims to simplify post-processing by allowing uncured residue to be cleaned with water rather than solvents, while keeping prints precise and durable. If you print miniatures or functional parts and want less fuss after printing, this resin reduces cleaning time and smell, and offers anti-yellowing properties according to the manufacturer.

Benefits

This formulation emphasises ease of use, with a hydrophilic base that makes rinsing with water a practical option after printing. The low-odour mix helps when printing in small or shared workspaces, and the anti-yellowing component keeps neutrals clearer over longer UV exposure. The resin also reports a higher post-cure elongation of 16.62% which translates into better resilience and reduced risk of brittle fractures in small parts.

Usage tips

For best results wash prints under running water then cure as usual, taking care to follow your printer maker's recommendations for exposure and layer height. It performs well at cooler ambient temperatures down to around 15°C according to the manufacturer, though you may want to allow bottles to acclimatise before use in chilly rooms. It’s a good fit if you value easier cleanup and clearer whites over extended use, and worth considering if you prefer to avoid isopropyl alcohol during post-processing.

Compatibility

Built to work with a wide range of 405nm LCD and DLP printers, the resin is especially straightforward with Anycubic machines, but it is compatible with other brands that accept standard 405nm resins. Take into account that printer settings such as exposure time and layer thickness may need modest adjustment when switching from solvent-wash resins.
