Absolutely incredible quality at a frankly unbelievable price!
Stunned. Honestly, I'm stunned at the quality this printer can produce. I have several friends with 3D printers, but this was my first dive into the hobby. The first time you pull that build plate out and have something dangling there... it pretty incredible. That said, you have to understand what you're getting into. While this printer is basically ready out of the box (note: you do have to buy resin -- no starter resin provided) that doesn't mean you'll be printing 3D cars and airplanes your first night. This is still a hobby device; meaning there will be things to learn and safety procedures to follow to get successful prints and not make yourself sick in the process. Resin can be nasty stuff. You have to respect it That means gloves, well ventilated room, and you should really always wear a mask and glasses/goggles when handling it. Also, you are going to need a way to neutralize most resins after the printing process. That means cleaning the parts in IPA 90%+. Lastly, even though your models will come out *mostly* solid, it's a good idea to hit them with some additional UV light to finish the process. Either with a UV light source or our good friend Mr. Sun. One more thing to consider is working conditions. Resin will start to get tacky below 68F and too runny above 77F. Your prints will fail if you can't consistently stay between these temperatures. Vibrations are another thing to consider. You need a fairly level surface without floor bounce to get prints to work properly. And finally, while yes, you don't need a computer to print, you will need one to properly set up the files to print. This also means learning some additional software if you ever want to not just download what someone else has printed before. Final concern is there are consumable parts with your printer outside of just the resin. The resin vat films will wear out and need replacing. UV lights will fail. Screen will die. With any luck, most of those won't happen for a while, but understand you will need to learn how to replace these things when they happen. Not if, when. SO! If you are willing to accept failures, be safe with resin, have a proper work space, learn some software, and maintain some hardware You Are Ready To Get Started! Be excited! This is amazing technology! You get to transform a tub of toxic goo into models, toys, tools, jewelry, and countless other objects! And this is the PERFECT printer for beginners and experienced printers alike!
