Reflex RS

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,

The RS series (Turbo / non-Turbo) is planned in the next few months to get an update of Blueprint slicer and/or firmware with support for 3rd party resin. The Reflex 1/2 is not planned at present to receive such platform opening. On opening up the RS platform to 3rd party resin, Heygears has not bee

There is no 3rd party resin integration on any Heygears. You pick one of their profiles and see if it works with your resin. The RS and RS Turbo differ in the LCDs. Both have 8K LCDs, but the Turbo has an amber polarizer, this allows the Turbo to render significantly more detail. Check out Dennys Wa

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

Dimensional accuracy means different things depending on what you value. Reflex RS still has issues with Z axis compression for example, and you can't fix it. You also are locked into the settings they pick for their resins, which means some resins only have 50um layer height settings and some have

Well shit. Guess I’m holding onto my S2s for even longer than I thought. Might also explain why Heygears still uses an 8K LCD on the Reflex RS. Also not a good look for Concepts 3D as they’ve tried to position themselves based on technical expertise and yet they moved the Athena 2 from a 12K LCD by

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

The RS is not compatible with most Heygears engineering resins and is generally better tuned for miniatures and such. It's getting opened up to have resin profile tuning soon but it might take some tinkering to get the other resins tuned on it. It likely won't get any of the official Heygears engine

It should be supported axially as wel

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
