Is there an *obvious* choice if you’re a newbie and your main goal is to create good quality D&D-style miniatures (28-32mm I guess) for $500 or less?

Get a Phrozen sonic mini 8k for under $300. Consumables including resin will be another $75. If you want just DnD minis that’s your best bet. If you ALSO want to make terrain and/or dungeon tiles, a Bambu a1 or a1 mini is better IF you don’t mind compromising details. Or do what most of us do and pi

3D-Drucker für Anfänger

Für Figuren im Funko-Pop-Stil bis 500 Euro gibt es im Grunde zwei Wege. Resin-Drucker liefern die mit Abstand beste Detailqualität und sind deshalb für Figuren die erste Wahl. Modelle wie der Elegoo Mars 4 Ultra, der Anycubic Photon Mono M5s oder der Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K liegen preislich zwischen 3

What’s the brutal reality of owning a Resin printer?

Do not listen to this It’s definitely a big difference. If you cannot tell the difference you do not have good enough settings or high quality resin. With high quality printers like Phrozen 8K paired with their 8k resin you can literally get ”plastic” parts without layer lines. Most hobbyists who pr

Okay, what is ACTUALLY the best 3D printer (rant/discussion)??

Chipping in here as someone who does fdm and resin printing. Okay you need a resin printer. I have two brands anycubic and phrozen. Phrozen, I cannot recommended enough, I had to do little to no maintenance on it, I was cleaning it wrong and a bunch of other things. It’s gone four year without a sin

What's the best large format printer?

As others have already stated: anycubic doesn't do per layer settings which is an immediate no go for anybody wanting to print with difficult resins, print straight on the plate, which is a major no go, especially for a large format machine that costs more. As for the Phrozen mega 8kv2 / 8ks: I just

Looking for some advice on a small footprint resin printer for TTRPG's

I’d second Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K (not 8KS, though). Also, their 8K resin is amazing. Anycubic or Elegoo are hit or miss; people are always complaining about those.

Multiple print failures on new sonic mini 8k

If the resin is leaking onto the fep then first order of business is to not print until you swap out the Nfep for a new one and make sure it's not leaking. That's like having a punctured tire and instead of fixing the puncture you keep pumping it up and wondering why you're running a flat. As for th

Issue with prints not sticking to the build plate

Rest after retract times are the correct answer. Minimum of 5-10 seconds for bottom layers, and minimum of 1s for normal layers. If your slicer doesn't allow for separate rest after retract times for normal and bottom layers, then UVtools is a great free tool that lets you set that on already sliced

Printer is Dead - Replacement Suggestions for under $200?

IIRC, you can often pick up a Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K S for around $279*. From what I've seen from Fauxhammer and other youtubers, it's one of the best for minis for its price. *Not presently, from a quick search. But sales definitely go around.
