Phrozen mini printers all the way. I’ve had the sonic mini 8k for years. It’s never had a fail print and within 2 minutes of setting it up I had my first test print on. The only maintenance I’ve had to do in all these years is replace the FEP sheet in the tank and that was only last year. Where as o
