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

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.

I 3d printed a mini magnetic TARS and CASE

I have a resin printer. There are loads available. I personally use the Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K, it is about 3 years old now and still going strong. Might be better ones available now

Started having compound issues I can't seem to understand, let alone fix.

Uvtools is a great free tool that allows you to set separate wait before print / rest after retract times for bottom and normal layers on already sliced print files for most phrozen and elegoo printers. I went from 30s bottom exposure times on my phorzen sonic mini 8k to 13s bottom exposure times on

Just looking to get into this hobby does anyone recommend some printers in the $400 and under range?

I love my Phrozen Sonic Mini 8kS. List price is usually around 250$. It's a great little no-frills workhorse printer for miniatures. I prefer it over my big printer with more high-end features for most things. The big-boy mostly gets fired up for terrain. Take the money you save from that, get a bot

What's the best resin printer for minis

I know its been a few days, but I have both a Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K and an Elegoo Saturn 4 Utra - the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K is probably the 'best' all around printer, but all the major manufacturers are basically the same so see who is having a sale. There are a lot of resin types as well, be sure to p

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

Don’t cheap out on Printer and Resin. This will kill your quality. Quality costs Also do not listen to the people who say resolution does not matter. It does. Yes, 16K is overkill. But you should not go lower than 8K if you actually want professional quality with low layer lines. And buy the expensi

Question about printing for other people - (i am not offering commissions)

It all depends on your quality, the resin you use, How well you clean it, what the results are, How much you pay for resin. Many hobbyists buy resin printers and buy cheap resin, use the settings on the bottle getting bad results and charging alot for really bad quality Resin printers are a hobby in
