So I saw a video online comparing resins for miniatures and they mentioned that mixing 10-20% of this into another (abs-like for example but it would probably be similar for any) granted a lot of the “tough” properties. I guess it really makes the model less brittle, so on say an antenna or something thin it has more give and flexes rather than just break.

Responsible seller.
I recommend him.
About the product – I have been using this resin manufacturer for a long time. Great value for money. I recommend it.
I wanted a flexible resin to solve a problem. Boy, is this flexible. Press it hard and it flexes. It does take a while to recover if the part has thick walls, but it does recover. I tested its strength by whacking it hard, repeatedly, with a hammer, and I am sure I could hear it just laugh. I couldn’t break it. Then I printed the part with walls 0.4mm thick and squeezed it and flexed it. It took quite an effort to get one wall to crack, so I’m happy that it is both flexible and durable. It is not straightforward getting the printed part off the build plate. I use a flexible plate, but when I flex the plate, the printed part just flexes too. Reach for the very sharp spatula. Pity about the price. Pity the Black colour is not readily available. I found the ‘clear’ cures with a slightly yellow tint (as stated by the manufacturer). I recommend this resin if you need some flexibility and resilience.
Buena resistencia, la mezclo con otra resina a 1/4 y le da flexibilidad a las miniaturas a la vez que rigidez.
I mix about 25% off this with my Elegoo gray to give it strength. It’s a world of difference for my prints. I love it@
por lo que prob sola es flexible , lo suficiente para evitar que pudiera pintar el modelo que saque por lo fino que era, aun estoy buscando la combinacin exacta con otros para que me de buen rendimiento.
ademas por el alto costo que tiene tampoco mucha el usarla sola
Got the idea from someone else; have tried mixing this with other resins to provide “toughness” to “hardness” and it’s been great; printing alone or as an ingredient with others.
Mars 2 Pro
This came very well packaged, there is slim to no chance that this could have leaked.
I add this to my other resins
This increases the sturdiness of what I happen to be printing.
Most of what I print are tabletop miniatures, they hold up very well.
Don’t hesitate to buy and use Siray Tech resins, that’s all I’m gonna say.
I use Blu and Tenacious for my prints and am able to achieve absolutely unbreakable, functional, and durable prints with high detail and accuracy. These resins have almost no smell, they never break down if left inside VET for a long time, and they are easy to clean and pleasant to work with. Also, Siraya Tech’s shipping and customer service is above and beyond.
I mixed this with Siraya Tech Fast to add some extra strength, used 4 parts Fast to 1 part Tenacious. This will add some strength to the Fast without slowing down the print time much and makes the much more expensive Tenacious last longer. The mix has produced great prints, I’ve been able to print things with fewer and light supports than before, and support removal is easier once the completed print is heated to make it softer. Cleans great with 99% IPA (Florida Labs, 4 gallon kit ordered on Amazon). Here is my complete process:
*Anycubic Photon Mono X, layer height 0.05mm, 1.85s cure time, resin vat with FEP coated with Rain-X
*Stir resin in vat with silicone spatula if pigment has seperated
*Heat build plate and resin vat with resin in it using a heat gun up to 30-35 C
*Remove prints with a metal spatula then dunk & shake in a ‘dirty’ vat of 99% IPA to get most of the resin off.
*Put pre-cleaned prints in Anycubic Wash and Cure station loaded with ‘clean’ 99% IPA, set timer for 3-5 minutes depending on size of prints.
*Put double cleaned prints into food dehydrator set to max to dry off IPA and gently heat them.
*Heated prints are softer and supports are easier to remove by hand. Use a small nylon brush to help clean off loose bits and tiny interior supports.
*1 minute cure in the Wash and Cure, flip it upside down, 1 more minute.
Once my ‘clean’ IPA starts to lose clarity I pour it into a another container and use that as my new ‘dirty’ IPA, and refill the Wash and Cure with fresh IPA. I have tried filtering the dirty IPA with coffee filters and leaving it in the sun to cure then pouring off the recycled resin, haven’t had to use the recycled stuff yet as haven’t used up my new stock.
I decided to give this resin a shot after I saw a couple YouTube videos using this mixed with other resins to create stronger parts. It definitely works well for this. I have found that a 10 part Elegoo ABS like resin to 1 part tenacious gets a great print that is much less likely to break if it falls off a table. Very handy for DnD figures.
The only downside to this is that it has an extremely strong odor. You will not want to use this in your house unless you are able to vent straight outside. This isn’t jusy a set a fan in the window type of smell. I added 4inch ducting with an inline fan to a vent leading outside to my printer so I can continue to use this without having to move it to the garage.
I mixed 20g of Tenacious with 100g of ABS-Like resin and and got some very bendy swords and hammers, where standard resin would usually just snap like spaghetti, sometimes just from removing the supports. You’ll have to experiment with the ratios between different resins to reduce wasting this stuff, but if you’re printing models that will be handled regularly, or just want some more resilience in your prints this stuff is excellent.
I used to only use Elegoo’s ABS-Like Grey Resin. Occasionally, I would get portions of my prints that seemed to have partially cured resin on them, mainly on flat and outer surfaces. This would happen on two of my printers rather often. At first, I thought it was an exposure issue, however, after trying various exposure levels, it would still happen! I heard about Siraya Tech’s resin line through a Facebook 3d printing group for Warhammer. Namely, people would mix about 70-80% of their Fast resin with 20-30% of their Tenacious resin. I knew I had to give this a try. The day I switch to Siraya Tech’s resins, I had ZERO issues printing. It seemed like my prints were sticking better to the build plate, needed less exposure time, had more detail, and had virtually zero support failures. Now I know that I’ll never switch back from Siraya Tech. I highly recommend this product, as well as their other products, not only for the quality, but also the consistency. Also, if you are printing small miniatures with breakable parts, this is absolutely the resin for you. You can flex this stuff like crazy without breaking it.
You may balk at the price, starting at nearly double what other resins cost per liter. But this stuff is magic, with the right process. Folks who print with JUST this resin will likely just get okay results, but the real appeal of this one is an additive to other resins (Mix REALLY well). Models I’ve printed with a mix of this and other resins are damn near indestructible. I’ll throw them against the wall and they’ll be fine. Do yourself a favor and try a bottle of this, mix it in with your normal stuff and fix brittle model syndrome today.
I want to give this a good review but I only bought it cos I had to. Needed more durability in my prints so a little of this added to cheaper resin helps. But damn it’s just so expensive. Totally unreasonable price frankly. More than double others? Yeah nah.
This is some really amazing resin by itself. but the cost makes it Really expensive to just use on it’s own. I mainly use this as a additive to my Siraya tech fast grey. this makes my D&D and war gaming mini’s super durable, this also will help supports way stronger and will actually result in less failures as well, just keep in mind that you will have to do test prints to make sure it’s just right or you will have a really bad time removing supports because of overexposure. I use a 15% mix to volume. so if you have a brand new 1000ml bottle of siraya tech fast, just put in 150ml and it will be just right.
I grant you, I haven’t used a whole lot of different resins, but I have used a few, and this has been the best combination of price and quality for printing miniatures that I have used yet.
Its name says it all! Excellent and flexible at thin diameters.
The only thing that would make this better would be a lower price.
I bought this for some tabletop miniature making and it’s alright. I mean, I haven’t printed straight tenacious, so I can’t attest for how strong it is by itself. Paying ~$70 dollars for a liter of this and then ~$70 on two liters of elegoo standard makes it around $47 dollars a liter of the mix. and for that, it isn’t so bad! The (very thin, because we’re talking about 28mm miniatures) swords now don’t break as easy! They still would break in a drop if it landed on it, but you now don’t break the sword (as often, anything is possible) when it catches on your sleeve! I can’t recommend anything lower than a 33% content of Tenacious because then they swords will be closer to regular resin, and at that point, you’re just wasting expensive resin for nothing. Swords and staves still break on drops with 33%, arms take some heavy throwing to break, and then to get the waistline to snap on a Gandalf miniature I printed, I had to STOMP him 7 times!!! Which is much better than regular Elegoo! Overall, it’s still more durable however you look at it, and for getting strength for as low as $47, I think it’s worth it!!!! But, if you plan on painting the models, probably use 50% or more tenacious so that they don’t break as often!
Still testing it out, but so far the minis I’ve made are good and holding
I added this as a 1:10 ratio for elegoo standard photopolymer 405nm resin to offset the cost while adding strength. Just adding 10% easily tripled the strength of the parts.
I cannot attest to this product as a stand alone product. However I have mixed this with a variety of resins with varying consistencies and I have nothing but great results. The only time it gave me problems when I used over 60% Tenacious with translucent resin I lost some very fine details. However that could probably be remedied by changing printer settings. Overall I cannot rave about the quality of this resin as an additive to improve the flexibility and durability of your prints.
You really got to play with the exposure rate. You can over cure it and make it hard if you need to. But Its also good for making brittle plastics tappable. Idk what application this would be ideal for yet…..
Use this to mix about 1:4/1:5 with elagoo abs resin to make it less brittle. Seems to work well so fa
If you’re reading this review you probably already know what this is and what it does.
Tenacious resin is flexible when cured in a 3D printer. That means you can blend it in with other resins to add some flexibility and make brittle prints a little more durable. You’ll lose a little detail, but that’s better than snapping all the small parts off your miniatures. The more tenacious you add, the more flex you get.
You can print pure tenacious, I’ve never done it though.
One thing to keep in mind, Tenacious doesn’t like cold temperatures, so at a minimum make sure you start printing with a warm room. The UV curing releases heat so you usually can count on that to keep the vat warm enough to print, but if you’re getting failure, that’s a good place to start looking for answers.
This added the exact amount of flex I needed to my projects. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to print minis for table top games. Minis that hit the floor when mixed with a proper resin to tenacious ratio, bounce instead of shatter! Worth it.
This resin is amazing when added to your favorite resin to give it some flex, I use it when I print RPG and warhammer models to keep them from breaking when they are being used in games. I really recommend 20% added to your go to resin, for me it is normally elegoo grey but I have also had luck with Siraya fast and Anycubic resins.
Very good resin. Still playing with ratios but it is extremely tough. With a mixture that leaned heavy on the tenacious side 75/25 and red Anycubic, the resulting tail light lense that I printed came out great. Separating the supports was legitimately difficult and the finish is both flexible and of good resolution. Solid product.
Very strong resin, definitely a high viscosity or “thinkness” (Amazon wants that word gor spne reason…) I use as a 10% additive to fast resins to make them stronger. If you are using pure, make sure its warm and a long exposure
Amazing resin. Price is super high so I’d mix with other cheaper resins but definitely adds strength.
Works great for prints that need a little more toughness. The simple and easy line of resins can be too brittle. Adding some Tenacious resin in a mix of 70/30 or even 80/20 can greatly improve a prints durability and resistance to breaking if dropped.
Siraya uitgetest en is na snelle uitharding een goed stevig en flexibel product.
I use this with my Elegoo Mars, which in addition to personal prints, I use for a small side business on etsy where I print models for other people. I combine Tenacious 50/50 with Elegoo ABS-Like Gray. It gives the minis a bit more drop resistance and flexibility with things like swords, staves, outstretched arms, etc. I haven’t had any complaints yet, and on the contrary people have been happy to have a model with some forgiveness if it gets knocked over. It doesn’t make the minis invincible, obviously you shouldn’t chuck them at a brick wall, but in my experience it definitely gives some extra protection.
It’s a bit expensive, but it’s served me well so I’ll keep buying it.
so far working well for drone parts with a 50/50 mix of normal resin and this.
I use this to mix with standard resin, the end result is as expected. It add durability to the brittle standard resin. It will be tricky to find good settings and mix ratio though.
Once you get the sweet spot, it’s a life save
This is the first resin I have found that adds flexibility to the resin prints and keeps the high resolution I am looking for when I print miniatures. Definitely ordering more of this, even if it is clear. It can be a challenge in bed removal because of the flexibility, but worth it in final toughness- no more broken mini’s when they fall off the table or get a rough transport.
It’s that good. It’s incredibly strong and just the right amount of flexible (for me). If you need print holes that can be self-tapped with say… wood screws etc, this resin will help a lot with that. Normal prints seem a little too rigid for self tapping screws to really get a hold of without chipping up, but a little bit of this stuff in the mix and suddenly they work great. I’m printing things that need to handle a lot of abuse in very demanding situations, without this resin I wouldn’t even try to use a DLP print for that – I would have to use Nylon in a FDM printer and then of course there’s delamination to worry about.
Worth every penny. Don’t bother using it at 100% mix though, mix it down with another, cheaper resin until you get the right mix of flex and rigidness.
I use Tenacious as a 90/10 mix with my fast grey resin to take a little bit of the brittleness out. Works great, worth the extra cost since I am only using it at 10% of my production in dnd miniatures.
Great Product, please never stop making it.
I’ve used it as a ‘blender’ to reduce the fragility of normal Elegoo Rapid Resins (which are extremely fragile.) I’ve also been able to make something like Syraya Fast Grey a bit more resilient as well.
For the Rapid Resins, I use 1:1 ratio at 11 second burn time on a Elegoo Mars and 3:1 ratio on Fast Grey. (3 grey to 1 Tenacious).
The downside is that the prints are a bit less sharp and they require using ISO 99 to clean. I’ve been using Simple Green / Mean Green to clean Fast or Rapid resins, but once you mix in the Tenacious, the prints are still ‘sticky’ after cleaning unless washed with ISO 99.
Overall, pretty pleased with it. Would recommend, particularly for increasing the elasticity of some of the standard resins, making them more forgiving of small drops.
Love this stuff. Add 5-10% to your resin of choice and be amazed at the increased durability and flexibility you get for only an extra 2-3 seconds per layer. Don’t go too high minatures lovers as it’s a softer resin and you do lose a touch of crispyness to your prints. Just a touch at 10% and so well worth the increase durability especially for thin fiddly bits that like to break.
Tough stuff. DIFFICULT to work with. Prints easy but try removing from the build plate just once and you may regret buying.
This product is great, it was first resin i tried at home, i was also using formlabs stuff at work and on my first print the towers was so surprised at the clarity and malleability of the parts, i threw them on the ground barely dented. This product is great, it wont however be able to be polished to crystal clear but it is awesome for what it is. slight yellowish with over UV lighting but that is to be expected and really not that noticeable unless compared to a crystal clear part. I since got the Blu range and i probably will stick to the tenacious unless I need a part that really is not meant to bend.
a little pricy, but can be mixed with cheaper resins for insanely strong prints
Really great resin. Printed what I thought would be an impossible print using my D7. Easy to print, quite strong but flexible. More refund than you might expect. I added dye to add color to it which worked really well and the result was even more flexible. Without the dye it’s clear in thin sections and kinda yellow in thicker areas of the pri
Just wow. This is what I am talking about! If you want to make durable toy-ready figurines. Just mix this stuff in with regular Elegoo 405nm resin 1/4th tenacious to 3/4th resin. The parts will be ultra-durable. If you try to tear a sword of a 50mm figurine off, it bends instead. The detail is just as sharp as normal resin to. I’ve also done some parts in full pure tenacious. They are clear yellow and super flexible and durable. This stuff is ideal for prototyping and flexible grips etc.
This is amazing stuff. Extremely tough. I would call it engineering-grade resin. The biggest downside is that it sticks like crazy to the build platen. Be prepared to use a metal scraper and possibly even a hammer to get it off. Otherwise, it prints amazingly well. Expensive though. I think I’ll rarely use this without mixing with another resin. Mix this about 70/30 standard resin to Tenacious and you’ll have really strong hight quality prints (works very well).
This resin is great because it can be flexible, but once its thicker its actually really hard and durable. Infinitely stronger than cheaper ones like Anycubics.
For certain things you can use that to your advantage and make the same part hard or flexible in different areas by just playing with the wall thickness of your part.
It has a slight yellowish tinge to it, but is mostly translucent. I dyed some red with dye from monocure and it came out flat red. So if you dye it, you can’t even tell it was yellowish in the first place.
look no further for some of the industries best resi
I mix this with ELEGOO ABS-Like resin (clear red and clear blue) in a 1:3 ratio.
This has allowed me to create models with enough flex to keep weapons and legs from breaking when dropped without being overpriced.
I tested 100% Tenacious and found it quite soft and very flexible, but it did break at the connection point when bent over itself, but the length of it bent without any problems. (so low “Shear strength”?)
I’ll be testing it later to see how a thick object works for other purposes.
Was looking for a resin to print very flexible items, like hair or shoulder pads for custom action figures so they don’t inhibit articulation, but this stuff stays stiff if the printed part isn’t very thin.
That said it works great for skinny things like rifles, swords, antennas, etc. From 2 years of selling prints, I recommend mixing a minimum of 40% Tenacious with standard or ABS-like resin so the items can survive abuse by customers. The prints may bend, but eventually go back to their original shape.
If you’re looking to make heads that can pop on to existing neck joints, this may not work for you unless you use a really high percentage of Tenacious or give the headsocket thin walls.
Great product alone for flexible prints and also good for mixing with other resins to make them less brittle.
I mixed it 50/50 with my Anycubic fast curing resin and it came out really flexible and clean. I haven’t used it by itself, but I can imagine the prints would be even more durable. The only thing I have break was an Alien Queen print at the tail (I was being very careless) between a couple vertebrae. It is, unfortunately, very expensive, but I can’t say that you can get anything better.
Their resins work very well. Actually adhere to the build plate better then other resins almost too good at times. Would live to see them expand their color options will be buying more.
This flexible resin IS flexible if printed thin. If you’re printing thinner than about 1/4″ the print remains flexible after curing. You do not want to hollow the model though or the outer shell may collapse. It is also VERY messy to clean up. The resin is like motor oil mixed with honey, it’s very slippery but at the same time it’s sticky. It’s thicker than most other resins I’ve used and it does not take detail as well. If you print something like a print in place octopus or shark the print WILL break at the joints within a few bends, but if you print something normal, it will be durable and flexible.
I also tried mixing this resin with eSun general purpose resin and their tough and strong resin and had very good results. The resulting print retained some flexibility but was also stronger.
I mix Tenacious and Blu together for my mechanical (functional) prints and have had great success on my EPAX X1.
Very cool product, but it smells. Typical of any reason though.
I’ve mixed this with other resins and am having fun expiramenting with consistancies. Makes some very flexible parts! Picture is 50% ANYCUBIC ECO UV resin and 50% Siraya Tenacious.
I don’t use it by itself since I don’t need to print flexible things. I mix it 50/50 with Siraya Sculpt to get great details, strength, and overall stronger prints. My video show me bouncing a printed ball on hardwood floor. Definitely recommend the Siraya line of resins to anyone!!
I don’t find this very useful as even when thick parts are made it tends to deform too easily..mixed with Blu it might be great that is my next project. I would prefer something more elastic but with a quicker return to shape. Color is yellow cast clear.
This resin isn’t rubbery. Let’s get that out of the way first off. It’s not like printing with NinjaFlex on an FDM printer. Parts that are made with this resin will deform, but it takes a little effort, and they go back into shape, but it takes a little time. They are more like soft plastic than rubber. But that deformation and give makes them incredibly strong and able to withstand heavy impacts. This would be a great material for outer casings or bumpers or tubes that needed to have some give to them. Resin from resins printers is often really brittle, and this can be added to some other resins to make them much more usable and less liable to break. You don’t have to print with 100% Tenacious (although the items I’ve posted above are), as you can mix it in to add impact resistance to other resins — and that’s really where its primary value lies. Alone, it’s a kind of whitish/clear resin that’s not clear enough to be see through, but not opaque enough to be white. It’s a bit soft, so it can scratch relatively easily. It doesn’t yellow heavily, but it’s more the colour of ‘natural’ PLA filament. It also has a kind of strange refractive colour that looks very blue to purple in daylight. I’m not sure what causes that, but it’s interesting.
Overall, though, I’m super pleased with this resin. It’s a great addition to the arsenal of Siraya resins (Blu being the one I use most, followed by Sculpt and Tenacious in a head to head with both of them being more commonly used as additives to other resins for my stuff). It’s a spectacular flexible resin for the price.
Printed great, however it is less flexible than I had expected, I personally figured it would have acted similar to tpu but its definitely more on the ridged side while still being able to flex without snapping.
Overall I think it’s a great resin. I’m hoping maybe in the future they offer a more “rubbery-tpu-like compound but for now this will do just fine.
One of the best resin I ever used.
I had great experience using Blu, and now with new resin Tenacious, I was even more amazed, this resin, just doesn’t break, is strong as blu and flexible resin, I even used as a support to hold my dumb bells, and hold up to 55 pounds, I drove with my car over the part and still didn’t break, I’m really impressed with this resin.
What can I say ? Tenacious and Blu are by far best resins out there.
The settings I used are as follow below.
Machine : Photon
Layer Thickness: 0.05mm
Normal Exposure time : 12sec
Off time: 5
Bottom exposure time: 90
Bottom Layers: 8
I highly recommend this resin
