Reflex RS

Probably to quit resin printing. It’s a pain in the ass, and that’s coming from someone who has bought his 7th resin printer just this week. They all have issues and are flawed in some way. The older Saturn 3 is less problematic as it doesn’t have problematic features like auto-leveling/force sensin

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,

I've spent 3 years dialing in my resin printers... someday I might actually print something I want to keep. If you plan to do anything outside of the normal niche of miniatures and figures, the S4U is not the printer you want. Do to the force sensor dictating build plate position, and needing to be

The closest thing to a Bambu in resin is Heygears. The M7s main problem stems from auto-leveling and not having the tools to deal with the downsides, namely per layer settings and any sort of Z adjustment. The M7s other main problem is just Anycubic's poor QC. All of the auto-leveling printers on th

The Ultra has a different UV light source system (mirror in the path) which is the same as Phrozens. Both printers have severe drop off of UV uniformity outside the central 'square' of the LCD. I know someone who thoroughly tested theirs and had 32% UV uniformity. The S3 adopts the same design as th

Worse UV uniformity, has a completely different UV optical system. Similar to Phrozen, and Elegoo abandoned it. UV power drops off of a cliff outside the central area. I’ve heard one tech reviewer comment that it prints fine… as long as you only use the middle. The castings for the z arm and 4-point

It should be supported axially as wel

Totally agree with you. I just put back my trusty 2022 Saturn 2 after a HeyGears Reflex RS turned out to be a real lemon and support worse than the machine. It's just getting harder to find simple printers brand new these days.

Any modern printer will make great prints, the challenge is how much are you willing to deal with issues? All of the newer printers have more issues around the new features than older printers. This is why I usually recommend the Saturn 3 non-Ultra. It works the way the community has understood resi
