Mars 5 ultra is a more recent machine, with some good features, the sonic mini 8k s is older and simpler but it's really sturdy and less complex of a machine, for a beginner I would recommend the phrozen over the elegoo for the tilt release mechanism on the later one.

Thinking about 3D Printing - Sprintray Pro 2?

What is the Bambu lab Equivalent for a Resin printer?

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
