Reflex RS Turbo

+1 for heygears. The Reflex RS Turbo is the best hobby printer on the market right now imo. With the slicer and settings opening up next quarter there’s no downside. Plus I’ve run a bunch of non-heygears resin using the built in presets and I’ve never had a failure yet

Print resolution took a pretty big leap once we got under 0.03mm/30um pixel size (Saturn 2/8K generation). It's been pretty diminishing returns since then. I own a Mars 2 Pro, and with tuning it can still compete on print smoothness, but it won't render the small texture details that higher resoluti

TL;DR: It’s not the brand, they all suck, although Elegoo has remained popular for a reason. I’m up to having owned 7 resin printers. 4 of those are Elegoo, and I’ve owned a Phrozen and currently own an Anycubic (along with 2 Saturns). I’m quite critical of the resin printer market, but Elegoo has a

FDM printing experience really doesn’t translate to resin, you might as well accept you are starting over. My understanding is Formlabs is the only real option as a commercial grade resin printing system. Everything below that is ‘consumer’ grade and comes with a whole host of problems, challenges,

Hahaha dimensional accuracy with resin printing isn’t anything like filament. Especially when you factor resin shrinkage, orientation and supports. And that’s not even including the BS that auto-leveling printers introduce. I highly suggest (should be mandatory) to read Jan Mrazek’s blog for more in

Anycubic is a non-starter imho. Poor support, poor QC (and the bar is low as is), and no per layer wait times. Elegoo is the best of the budget tier. The Saturn 3 non-Ultra is probably the best bang for your buck printer available right now, if it’s available in your region. At the high end sits the

Reflex RS turbo 100%. It far and away outperforms the others. And you can use non-Heygears resin in it with fantastic results. You won’t regret it I own two Saturn 4 ultra 16k’s and they’re also great machines. But it’s no contest the heygears gives noticeably better results. It’s a better overall b

See if the Heygears Reflex RS Turbo with the heated VAT fits your budget. It's a lot better than Uniform or Elegoo printers. There is a good sale on now, they just opened up to third party resins (could always use them but not adjust exposure settings or anything) Might be a little more but absolute

No problem! I realized I accidentally said Reflex in the first post when I meant Reflex RS so my bad, edited to correct it to avoid confusion. This printer at its price point is a godsend and its insanely reliable. I have 3k hours, haven't had to replace the screen yet and have had seriously zero fa

I use sunlu ABS like with the heygears reflex rs and I've printed tons of spindly stuff without too much issue. Like mortarion and his dangly bits, Skaven clandats, brood terrors, screaming bells, Stormfiends.
