Thank you for posting this! I haven't gotten into printing with resin yet, but when I do it'll be for printing stuff like this. Looking forward to your FDM videos as I'm curious how well that can work.
I have added a mica powder to resione white resin th72, just be careful not to add to much and add a little at a time, mix it well. I would guess as long as you do not add to much you will be ok.
@@lishathorne Ohh right. I will give it a shot soon.

Your content is so inspiring, I'm doing my own models as well, starting with the tests from my FDM printer before committing to resin. All my models are for a Pose kind of figure, but all that you do I definitely gonna try to make my own joints. Keep up with the channel! I wish I could find a way to sell my figures in Latin America.
@ I’m actually based in Melbourne, and looking for someone to prototype a finished figure for me. Is it something you’re determined not to do again, or could I contact you via email to chat about it?
Thank you so much for doing these expermients so we don't have to. I just wanted to ask: we know different types of plastics are used for different parts of an action figure, are you using Tough74 for the whole figure or as an equivalent of a specific type of plastic i.e.: ABS, PVC, POM, etc? If it's the latter, have you figured out sort of an equivalency chart? Thanks again and congrats on the new figures, they look amazing!
Hey there. I thought a lot about how I can best answer this. It is very difficult for me to classify the resins into plastic categories. However, I can provide you with what parts I would print with which resin. for any body parts like biceps, thighs, calves that need to be flexible when heated but solid when room temperature I would print with the M58 + Anti Impact mix 50-50 for any joint parts that do not need flexibility but needs to have some grip I recommend the tough74 for flexible rubber like parts like diapers and overlays like jackets the F39 seems like a great option I hope that helps. I will typically use the same resin for all parts of the figure. I have printed whole figures in Tough74 and also in m58 50% - 50% anti impact. I hope that helps.
@@AzrachToys I currently do a 60/40 mix phrozen 4k resin to f69. This gives good detail with a little flex. I'll wait and see what you find, would love a resin i could use right out the bottle that gives the same high detail but better flex results.
Both have pros and cons. This resin is tighter and grips better so the joints feel really good. The anti impact and m58 mix is softer and more flexible but lacks in joint stability. Overall for the better joints I prefer this new resin. But I'm still wanting to do some experiments with mixing resins.
I've been using M58 and Tenacious. Do you consider Tough 74 to be stronger and more durable in * thin * parts (1mm diamter for example) without any flexible resin additives? You're providing much needed and useful analysis for us 3D printed action figure creators. Thank you.
I definitely consider this resin much more durable than the M58. However, in my time making action figures over the years I make the parts thicker for strength and durability so most of my parts are fairly durable using most resins.
@@AzrachToyswhat is your experience with tough 74 with regard to thin parts? Your description of it suggest it would still be of use in micro applications. It's almost as if the anti impact feature has already been added.
@@AzrachToysThat would be appreciated. You're already providing helpful content but more knowledge about that specific application (thin parts) would definitely help a lot of watchers. Thank you for making the effort.
I have been working in 3.75-4in to 1/18th scale and are most of your figures 1/12 scale? And if you have tried the 3.75in-4in do you have any problems with pins and joints being to small and breaking? I have used F36, flex 72, and my own blend of resin ones. For the flexible resin or tough resins are you using the same settings as in this video?
I have worked on super powers like figure at the smaller 4 inch scale. ruclips.net/video/dmmwWTD-RMY/видео.htmlfeature=shared This one is limited articulation but I've also done some more articulated ones that work fine. The joints need to be slightly thicker to make sure they withstand play.
I recommend checking with Resione or Elegoo they should be able to help you with the settings better. Since I do not have the Saturn 4 ultra, I am not sure how the printer differs from mine.
Yea resin is important but so is sensible engineering. Of you took a day or year off making mafex hopefuls you would realize there are TONS of ways to design a body that doesn’t rely on friction, or bulging shoulders, snap in “pegs” or disc rotating hips. If you broaden your mind and think outside the Mafex box your true potential would be fully acknowledged and utilized. Until then enjoy the ‘Fex complex
This is awesome. I'm so happy figure printing is coming such a long way.
Indeed. 3d printing is such a blessing. Can't wait to see it grow and become better!
Thank you for posting another great video brother. This new resin looks very promising I will keep an eye out for it.
It is definitely a great resin given the price and convenience of not needing to mix it.
Awesome video, very well put together. Got some of this in the mail the other day just looking for a good opportunity to put it to use.
That's great. Looking forward to your prints.
Thank you very much for this awesome review
I am glad it was helpful.

Great video.
Thank you so much.
thx
where do u get the files to print tho
Have you added resin dye to any resins to change color?
I have not tried adding dyes.
I have added a mica powder to resione white resin th72, just be careful not to add to much and add a little at a time, mix it well. I would guess as long as you do not add to much you will be ok.

I am glad my videos are helpful. Please reach out to me on instagram if you have any questions. Looking forward to your action figure. Best of luck!
Amazon has it right now with a 20% off coupon. Got a bottle for $39 with taxes included.
Thank you so much for letting us know
Is there a flexible resin. To use the "dipper" part.
I will be trying out resione F39 soon. For flexible parts
Hey thank you for testing these resins. Do you have a site where I can get files?
Hi please check my patreon for some of the files. For the most part I am no longer selling the files.
Whats your printer settings for your uniformation gk two with the tough 74 resin? I have the same printer and was wondering.
I use the following settings for Tough 74
Bottom layer 5 @ 44 sec per layer
layer height 0.04 @ 2.8 sec exposure per layer
Can you pls make a tutorial how to print the figure
I have done some slicer settings in a previous video and I will doing an action figure tutorial soon.
@AzrachToys ok thx a lot
Hi, this was very informative. I’m wondering if you have ever printed someone else’s figure prototype (from their 3D sculpt file) as a paid service?
I did do some work in the past but I have stopped recently.
@ I’m actually based in Melbourne, and looking for someone to prototype a finished figure for me. Is it something you’re determined not to do again, or could I contact you via email to chat about it?
@petersavieri happy to chat about it since you are local too. Looking forward to your email.
Amazing work!! Do you do any commissions?
I am not taking commissions at the moment. I am sorry.

Amazing my man! I have subbed and followed you on Insta. Outstanding work and thank you for producing this info video.
I am glad it was helpful. Thank you so much for the sub!
Thats an awesome printer
Thank you.
Great work, what resin or Mix do you recommend for parts that need to flex like belts and straps?
The Resione F39 has been recommended to me as well. I am in the process of testing that currently.
@@AzrachToys I currently do
a 60/40 mix phrozen 4k resin to f69. This gives good detail with a little flex. I'll wait and see what you find, would love a resin i could use right out the bottle that gives the same high detail but better flex results.
@@MrNoox13 I see that sounds awesome. I will make a video when I try the F39 for flex parts.
So do you prefer this resin over your own mix?
Both have pros and cons.
This resin is tighter and grips better so the joints feel really good.
The anti impact and m58 mix is softer and more flexible but lacks in joint stability.
Overall for the better joints I prefer this new resin. But I'm still wanting to do some experiments with mixing resins.
@@AzrachToys Nice, interesting! Have you though of mixing this resin into your own mix? Maybe it will add more stability to the joints?
I'm thinking of mixing this with some anti impact to add some flexibility. But the th72 might also be a great resin to mix this with.
@@AzrachToys Great, will be waiting for more videos from you :)

Hey i want to acces your website
Did it closed or moved ?
I cant acces it
Yes unfortunately my website is down. I have not had the time to bring it back up.
By curing for 30 minutes post cleaning, did you mean you cure the print in the curing machine for 30 minutes. Just want to make sure...
Yes that is right. 30 minutes of curing in the curing chamber
I followed these exact settings and it didn’t print
What printer are you using?
@@AzrachToys Saturn four ultra
I recommend checking with Resione or Elegoo they should be able to help you with the settings better. Since I do not have the Saturn 4 ultra, I am not sure how the printer differs from mine.
3d print martian manhunter
Maybe soon!
Lol wife proofing

Thank you so much for the feedback.
Please explain how to make a joint out of solid objects that doesn't require two surfaces contacting and rubbing each other somehow.
@@AzrachToysyou handled that well ;) Well done.
