Sonic Mini 8K

I’ve helped a couple of people doing dental work on consumer printers (Elegoo, Anycubic, Phrozen). It’s doable, dental stuff is only hard because of the niche resins and most consumer printing advice settings aren’t really up to dealing with that. My understanding is the Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K S is p

First question is, are you using anti-aliasing? To answer your question, yes smaller pixels help, as do thinner layer heights, but it’s up to a point.

Phrozen is same quality hardware as Elegoo, with worse firmware and worse performance for twice the money. I had a Sonic Mini 8K S with Z axis compression issues that couldn’t be fixed with Z offset (because the firmware caps how much offset you can apply, unlike nearly every other printer out there
