Making 3D printed miniature figurines from resin is cool and all, but have you ever tried to resin 3D print a shelf? Stack it high with bowling balls and laugh at the absurdity.

You probably haven’t, and the reason is that, while giving high detail, resin 3D printing is often a brittle experience. Consumer resin 3D printers have become increasingly popular, but the vast majority of consumer materials available for such systems are suited mostly miniatures – high detail, but low toughness. Tough resins are a thing, though, and now Phrozen, maker of the Sonic Mini 4K, has partnered with leading German high-performance materials manufacturer Henkel to release Onyx Rigid Pro410, a durable black resin that promises exactly that – to resin 3D print a shelf and much more.

The material is said to provide an exceptional surface finish and extremely high print accuracy. Onyx Rigid Pro440 joins a growing cabal of tough resins, combining the practicality of run-at-the-mill resin with superior engineering qualities needed for functional objects.

In a nutshell, Phrozen now offers its own Henkel-backed flavor of resin for you to now create, among better world-bettering uses, DIY clothes hangers, grocery bag holders, storage organizers, laptop stands, wall hooks, and – of course – even tabletop miniatures. The latter will be the same; they just last longer.

Specs

Here are the parameters for the Phrozen Onyx Rigid Pro410 when used on Phrozen’s monochrome 3D printers. The resin is compatible with any 405 nM mask stereolithography (MSLA) 3D printer, but print settings will differ.
