Shatter the “Plasticky” Stereotype – What Exactly Is Antinsky Tough Resin?

If you’re tired of standard photopolymers that crack the moment they hit the floor, Colin Klupiec’s   clip

A 3-D-printed rocket nozzle is smashed with a hammer, clamped in a vise, then flown inside a solid-fuel motor—and comes back in one piece!  

The “indestructible” part was printed with Antinsky Tough Resin.

1. Is It Even “Plastic” Anymore?

| Key Spec | Antinsky Tough | Regular Rigid |

|---|---|---|

| Flexural strength | 47 MPa | 30–35 MPa |

| Izod impact (notched) | ≥ 35 J/m | ≈ 15 J/m |

| Elongation at break | 15 % | ≤ 5 % |

| Hardness (Shore D) | 82 | 80–85 |

Bottom line: Shore-D rigidity with ABS/PE-like toughness—no more brittle snap.

2. Colin’s Triple Torture Test

1. Drop – 1 m free-fall onto concrete, bounces with zero cracks.  

2. Hammer – five whacks with a 450 g engineer’s hammer, only surface scuffs.  

3. Rocket– 1.2 mm-thin nozzle survives 0.4 MPa chamber pressure; post-flight inspection shows “zero chunk-out.”

Colin’s verdict:  

> “If you need functional parts that survive drops, drills and even rockets—this is the resin I’d recommend right now.”

3. Print Settings You Can Copy

Antinsky is already in CHITUBOX’s resin library—one-click profile.  

(50 µm layer, 6-inch mono screen)

| Parameter | Value |

|---|---|

| Bottom exposure | 30–35 s |

| Normal exposure | 2.4–3.2 s |

| Lift distance | 6 mm |

| Lift speed | 60 mm/min |

| Retract speed | 150 mm/min |

| Post-cure | 405 nm, 2 min per side |

Tip: viscosity is slightly higher—shake bottle + keep resin at 28 °C for best consistency.

4. What Should You Print?

- Functional jigs & fixtures – tap threads, drill holes without shattering  

- Drone / RC-car parts – crash-resistant, twist-resistant  

- Cosplay armor & props – thin walls that flex instead of split  

- STEM rockets & car models – lowers the cost of every “rapid unplanned disassembly”

5. Price & Where to Buy

- Official T-mall / JD flagship: ¥498/kg, frequent “2-for-10 % off” deals  

- Alibaba cross-border: MOQ 1 kg ≈ US $38, OEM labeling supported  

Cost reality check: gram price ~25 % higher than general resin, but you eliminate re-prints, filler putty and reinforcement tabs—

cheaper per finished part once you scale.

6. TL;DR – Worth It?

Colin’s rocket already answered: “Survive the sky test, survive anything.”

If you want prints that jump off the display shelf and into real life, Antinsky Tough Resin is the 2025 no-brainer for engineering-grade desktop MSLA.
