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,

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.

There are maybe 4 or 5 good quality affordable options right now but each has a downside. These are the models I’d consider & why I’d be hesitant. Heygears Reflex RS Turbo - too locked down and upgrading for the heated vat is an extra expense. Messy flat build plate. Anycubic P1/P1 Max - I’m unsure

Return to the Saturn 2/3 formula... Saturn 3 with the amber 8K LCD. Fix AA, especially with GOO. Built in heater, chamber heater probably so it warms the build plate as well. Nice to have: flip UV cover. I help a lot of people troubleshoot printers, and there's been a lot of that ever since the Satu

Heygears reflex rs. Expensive and you buy their resin. Bit no settings or anything like that. Just drop the files and hit the thing to auto everything. One suggestion is for supports, do not lot use the sphere option for contact.

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

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

Phrozens are overpriced for being basically the same as Elegoo and Anycubic. I was happy to dump mine as for a machine (Mini 8K S) that cost more than Saturn, it couldn’t do as much and was a PITA to deal with due to Z axis compression. And Phrozen support was useless. Everything I said about the S4

I have 2, one has the entire upper half from a Saturn 3 as well lol. When the Reflex RS Turbo was released I decided to personally pass on Heygears for now. Unless they allow more control.
