If you’ve been hunting for a “cheap yet capable” standard resin for your LCD/MSLA printer lately, chances are you’ve already come
across Antinsky Standard Lite Resin. Marketed as a “high-cost-performance general-purpose resin,” it promises good flow, reliable printing,
and a friendly price tag—but does it actually deliver? We let hardcore maker MorgensternPrinting put it to the test.
So, what exactly is “Lite” about it?
The word “lite” is often misunderstood as “lower density, so you get more volume per kilo.” In Antinsky’s lineup, however,
Lite doesn’t mean lower density—it means a lighter performance spec**. Think of it as a “lightweight edition” of their standard resin:
some mechanical strength and top-end print speed are traded away in exchange for a lower price and a wider, more forgiving process window.
MorgensternPrinting’s real-world torture test
In his latest TikTok clip, MorgensternPrinting ran Antinsky Standard Lite Resin through the wringer on an **ERGATE-01 Pro (16 K 10.1'' mono LCD)**:
* Layer height: 0.05 mm
* Exposure time: 2.3 s/layer (official range 2.2–2.5 s)
* Test models: 25 mm miniature + hollow cylinder
His verdict:
Detail fidelity is excellent**—cape textures and finger gaps all crisp, layer lines almost invisible.
Color accuracy**—the standard gray cured without any noticeable yellowing, ready for primer straight off the build plate.

Post-processing experience
He stuck to the classic workflow:
1. 95 % IPA rinse
2. 2 min ultrasonic bath
3. 3 min cure at 405 nm
Observations:
* IPA removes uncured resin effortlessly—no tacky residue.
* Final hardness: Shore D 82 (official spec 80–83).
* Smell: typical photopolymer odor, not overwhelming; dissipates in ~10 min outdoors.
