Topic: non brittle resin

Hello, please advise a not brittle (or less than usual brittle) resin. Red good reviews on Siraya resin, but there is no stock in the UK, any alternatives?
This is for a small batch production of protective caps.

Try searching for ABS - Like Resin. it's about as good as you will get unless you want to get the tough resin which is very expensive.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
Anycubic 4MAX best $225 ever invested.
Voxelabs Proxima SLA. 6 inch 2k Mono LCD.
Anycubic Predator, massive Delta machine. 450 x 370 print envelope.

Have you used this resin before Carl?  If yes, what did you think?

I use it now. It is slightly more flexible than normal resins. Ilt is not as prone to chipping or breaking if dropped. It is still not as durable as FDM printed materials.
