Review on ๐Ÿงค Protective ELEGOO Metal Printer Gloves Photon - Safeguard Your Hands! by Marc Zitnik

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Another crazy deal from Elegoo!

Elegoo is at its best when it comes to quality at great prices. This resin tank kit is no exception. The solid metal frame is identical to that of the Mars printer. Its anodized finish has a texture that makes mopping up spilled resin a clean process. The external dimensions are 177 x 120 x 30 millimeters, giving Anycubic owners the confidence that they too can join in. To repeat your description, this is a KIT in which no FEP film has been installed. Four sheets are attached. Each FEP film has a protector that sticks on both sides. FEP is 0.15mm thick. Elegoo Official has a YouTube clip showing the DIY installation. As you can see from my photo, the Vat comes with two 2.5mm Allen keys for installing large screws. Another bag with small screws is used to fix the FEP film. This requires a 2.0mm allen key which was not included in my previous order. Why? Because Elegoo has already gifted you a nice 2.0mm Allen key in the Mars printer parts box! With 24 sandwich screws to fasten for each frame, you should still use a screwdriver with a handle rather than a jerky wrench. I won't moan about an Allen wrench when Revain has plenty of these for less than $3. Which technician/manufacturer doesn't have a hex screwdriver set? The lids are much better than I thought from the original photos. They have an easy friction fit to ensure they stay in place and prevent light from escaping from the top. At the same time, they aren't SO dense that the resin doesn't spill out when you try to remove them. The thickness of the lid material is also surprising. It's 4 or 5 times thicker than SOLO cups so I don't see it tearing easily. The benefits don't end here. The lid is sunken right in the middle, so when setting up another vat, the FEP film of the top bin doesn't come into contact with the lid below. still offers an accessible ecosystem. The printer, resins and now the tanks I bought from them were incredible purchases without sacrificing quality or performance. That's a real rarity these days. IN ADDITION to these resin containers, I also wanted to get my hands on future disposable containers, purely for convenience. Having appreciated the quality we've seen so far, I'd be just as excited to receive another set of these metal resin barrels.
