ABS Qualities with the SL1?

Hello everyone.

Is it possible to print things to ABS specifications with the SL1?  What resin or materials would I use?  I want to print in ABS but don't want the hazard of using it in my house, which is the only place I can operate a printer, like my Mk3.  

 

Thank you.

There is tough resin made for the SL1, and a few 3d printing youtubers have tested it out in comparison. however results will vary from resin to resin manufacturers.

Also, I don't see how FFD ABS is worse than resin based printers. Resin is more toxic and does emit more fumes than an ABS printer printing too hot.

Thank you.  I was only recently aware of how resin based printers are more toxic.  I hear a lot about the problems of ABS and SLA parts are produced in an enclosed environment.  I came across Tough Resin, which looks like the resin with the highest tensile strength.
