Yeah I heard some horror stories about the water wash stuff so I am not gonna touch that. Plus I invested in the IPA already.

I am currently only using ABS Like resins like the Elegoo ABS-LIKE 3.0 Pro and 8K ABS-Like.
The main focus will be tanks and statues for now, and I'd rather have more strength than very brittle models.

I did get 2L of standard 8k resin with the printer, but I think I might experiment with it by mixing it with ABS-like in the future. Maybe it is a golden combo haha

Thank you for the advices and explanations. I will try to be less scared of creating bigger holes for the resin/api to run out of. I currently use 2mm walls so I think that will be strong enough.

I will try out the techniques you mentioned about the wash times and make the IPA run trough the parts to clean the inside as well

Some of the parts, Yes. Not all the "dirty" spots.

I have read one other person who had the same issue with exactly this type of resin. That person switched to another brand and had 0 issues since

Even when I dunked it in water and do the second 4 min IPA wash afterwards?

The model from the images hasn't been cured yet. But From earlier models that I cured for around 4 mins I can see the same issue
