5 Alternatives to the SUNLU (Including 2 That Are Better)

ANYCUBIC Standard 3D Printer Resin (1000g, Grey) — Priced at £18.99, this resin is a solid choice for anyone using 6K, 8K, 12K, or even 14K LCD 3D printers. It offers a slightly lower volume but maintains a high precision and low shrinkage similar to the SUNLU. The slightly lower price makes it a budget-friendly option, especially for smaller projects. However, if you’re looking for a larger batch or need that 3KG capacity, this might not be the best fit. Choose this if you’re experimenting or need a smaller quantity without compromising quality.

ANYCUBIC 3D Printer Resin 2KG (Grey) — At £28.99, this 2KG option is very close in price and volume to the SUNLU. It provides high precision and low shrinkage, making it a reliable choice for detailed prints. The downside is that while it’s still a great resin, it doesn’t specifically tout the ABS-like properties that the SUNLU does. If you’re looking for a balance of price and volume while still maintaining quality, this is a fantastic alternative.

ANYCUBIC Water Washable 2.0 3D Printer Resin (1kg, HD Grey) — This resin is priced at £23.99 and offers ease of post-processing with its water-washable feature. It’s designed for high resilience and anti-yellowing, making it ideal for prints that require a bit of durability. However, it comes in a smaller 1kg size, which might not suit larger projects. Opt for this if you want a hassle-free cleanup process and are working on smaller prints.

ANYCUBIC Standard 3D Printer Resin (4kg, Grey) — For £59.99, this is a larger option that can cater to bigger projects. It’s perfect for those who need more resin and don’t mind paying a bit extra for the volume. It shares the same qualities as the smaller 1KG resin, but if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, this might be a bit steep. This is your go-to if you’re a serious maker with plenty of prints on the horizon.

ELEGOO 8K Standard Photopolymer 3D Printer Resin (1000G, Red Clay) — At £17.99, this resin is tailored for the Saturn 2 8K LCD printer and offers excellent print quality. Although it’s a different colour and designed for specific printers, it’s a great budget alternative. The downside is that it may not be suitable for all printer types. Choose this if you’re looking for a cost-effective solution for high-resolution prints, especially with the ELEGOO range.
