Reflex RS

Same as before. Expect 12 months between cycles. This year was odd, printers got released on a shorter cycle. The Saturn 4 Ultra 16K was probably supposed to be the Saturn 5, but Elegoo released it early (only 7-8 months after the Saturn 4/4 Ultra). Probably because Uniformation was releasing the 16

HeyGears. Since upgrading to a HeyGears RS Turbo 6 months ago, I haven’t had to do any of the usual mucking around that you usually have to do with resin printers. I’m about 50kg of resin in by now, and I’ve had zero failures. The machine did its auto levelling on day one and that was the setup proc

Nothing wrong with Heygears because they work as well as they tell you they do. Some of their parts cost a little more but I actually spend less over time because their screens and film last 3-4x longer than elegoo. They're not as closed as some people seem to think and the RS line will be opening u

+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

heygears rs, its a setup you buy if you really dont wanna faff. with resin printing id recommend spending that bit extra if you can... so you aren't put off the hobby. Resin printing is effort compared to fdm so id advise get a printer that works well, so you can learn the hobby and not be trying to

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,

Miniatures are easy. Mechanical parts not so much. I suggest reading Jan Mrazek’s blog to understand what’s needed to print dimensionally accurate parts. That or buy a Form4… The consumer resin printer market is heavily optimized for printing miniatures, figures, etc. Spending more in this space doe

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

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

abs-like 3.0+ (other resin) on the PARP10 setting (Heygears resin setting) You can use other resins but you can't adjust the settings (currently). So you need to find one that just 'works'. Although there's rumors that they'll be unlocking the RS series soon.
