If you are looking to get into 3D Printing, I think this could be the perfect printer to do it with. It’s cheap at just over £200, it’s compact, and it’s stupidly easy to use. Seriously, this is amazing, let me show you why. But first, if you haven’t already, consider subscribing for more videos every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!

Let’s start with a quick tour. The printer is pretty compact, as you can see, a Oneplus 7T Pro for scale, it’s footprint isn’t much bigger than a small mouse pad and height is just over 40cm. On the front you’ve got a touchscreen that lets you control the printer, from choosing what to print, to manually moving the build plate up and down. On the back you’ve got the power in and a USB port for the included USB stick to load the prints from, and that’s it.

Inside the plexiglass cover you’ll find the build plate, which you can remove by unscrewing the knob at the top and just sliding it off, and the resin vat which can be removed by loosening the two thumb screws either side. Make sure these are tight when you go to print by the way, or the vat will lift when it’s printing and cause the print to fail (ask me how I know…). 

Levelling the bed is an important step, but super easy. Get a piece of paper, remove the vat, and place it on top of the display. Turn the printer on and go to tool, manual, and the left middle button. The print bed will drop down, then when it’s stopped, move the paper underneath it. It should be tight on all 4 corners. If it isn’t, use the included allen key to loosen the two bolts on the bed, push it level, then tighten again and recheck. Then, remove the paper, lift the print bed and slide the vat back in and you are ready to print!

The resin you need for this doesn’t have to be Elagoo brand, and 405nm resin will work, although I did get an Elagoo bottle here. The slicer software tells you how much resin you’ll need, although I like to overfill it by a good margin so there is always enough resin, and I can just top it up after a few prints. 

Speaking of the slicer software, it’s a little hit or miss. It’s pretty easy to use, has all the settings preset for you, but it’s a little limited in what it can do. It can’t seem to break up multi-part files, you’ll have to split them yourself then import them one by one, but it does let you scale, rotate, add supports and hollow models – something you will want to do to save a lot of resin if you print things like figures although remember to add drainage holes otherwise you end up with resin trapped inside like this pikachu model I printed. 

A word of advice, print models tilted at 45° back. When I tried to print this baby yoda figure flat, the wide circular base wasn’t able to stick to the supports and ended up a failed print, so I tilted it backwards and well, problem solved. One nice thing about failed prints with this is that it only ever hardens a small amount of resin once it fails, a little disk like this, unlike a standard FDM printer that will use the entire rest of the print’s worth. 

Another piece of advice, use as much of the bed width and length as you can, especially with multi-piece prints. The print time is entirely dependent on height, so by filling the bed with parts you are just making the process more efficient. Print time isn’t normally too bad, this yoda figure was somewhere around 3-4hours, but the fun thing is you could print the yoda and pikachu at the same time, and it would take the same print time too.

Finally, a few words of warning. This resin is pretty nasty stuff, so you will want to wear gloves and possibly even a mask when handling prints or filling the vat. Make sure the printer is in a well ventilated area, and you’ll want to wash your printed parts in isopropyl alcohol before touching them with bare hands. You’ll also want to finish curing your parts, either in direct sunlight for a few minutes, or under some UV LEDs, as it’s not quite set when it comes out. 

So what about print quality? Quite frankly it’s amazing. There are no layer lines which is excellent, and the sheer amount of detail it can capture – look at the fur around Yoda’s neck, on a model that size! Look at benchy, how well defined the edges are, how it even put the wood pattern into the roof. It’s insane!

So, should you get one of these? Well, if you don’t mind the smell, this is a phenomenal value. The resin seems to be more expensive per print’s worth than filament, and the print bed size is pretty small, but the quality you get, and it’s ease of use well outweigh that for me. This is definitely recommended.
