Once again looking for suggestions to help with my analysis paralysis. I'm looking for recommendations for 3d resin for am anycubic 8k printer and, though I have yet to receive it, a D2 DLP printer.

Cost is a factor but my priorities are durability (which with minis I think means some flexibility) and detail. Does anybody have good experiences with a resin for an 8k printer amd/or a DLP printer that they can share? This stuff isn't cheap so I'd like to start off with something that others have had good luck with. I liked the results on my old sonic mini 4k using the 4k aqua Grey from phrozen but I did find it a tad brittle. That could have easily been my printing settings or that I over cured it though.

Thanks everyone. You've all been a huge help with a pile of questions already . I really appreciate all your input.

Edit: missed the 8k specific requirement, my bad
Spoiler:
I've been using the green anycubic eco resin and am happy with it (didn't like the grey one as much, weirdly). It's more expensive but less harmful, both environmentally and for the occasional "whoops". This makes disposing of it easy, it's biodegradable.

I find it pretty flexible when cured. I was pretty worried about thin bits breaking (rifles, swords, spears) but that hasn't been an issue. Haven't had issues with details, but I haven't printed at higher than 4k.

Thanks Shorty. It sounds pretty good actually. I may look into that for the minis that I don't obsess over. I get downright picky about my HQ and special models. I don't know that the 8K resins actually work that much better, frankly. But, as I said, I'm a sucker for high res and quality and I buy into the hype - no question : )
