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

Incoming D1 must buys!

And if you guys are wondering which printer, there are plenty on the market, but I personally used a Phrozen Sonic mini 8k, it is the best cost benefit printer for me $300. Stay away from expensive printers.

Good entry level 3D printer?

To my knowledge the Phrozen sonic mini 8k is the best bang for buck for entry level printing.

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.

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

Thinking about 3D Printing - Sprintray Pro 2?

Phrozen sonic mini 8k setup works great and it wont cost you that much. Look into shinning 3D, they have a pretty good printer also.

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

Need advice on printers

Other than the obvious… resolution, no tilting vat vs tilting vat. The Mars 5 can’t use antialiasing while the Mars 5 Ultra can when slicing to CTB. Technically it ca also do it with GOO, but you’re 100% more likely to trigger the antialiasing bug. No Mars has PWM UV control either. If you’re lookin
