Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Proxima Monochrome Photocuring with Enhanced Grayscale Anti-Aliasing by Jamie Behm

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It works well and is built like a tank!

I have eight extrusion 3D printers and this is my first UV resin printer and I am very impressed with the build quality and the print quality right out of the box. only the platform of the print adhesion surface to the digital color screen imager (this does the reverse printing of the image to be printed layer by layer, allowing and blocking the UV light exposure of the UV sensitive resin in the resin tank), which is similar to adjust the Z-height with a thick sheet of paper. Aside from the exposure time it takes to properly expose the resin, there really isn't much to do to print quality items. I print at about 1 inch per hour. "A tall feature that is just one or ten copies will print at the same speed because it's all about the layer height. It's not a mono screen and I haven't seen any modifications to it, so it's not the fastest printer out there. Overall I'm very satisfied and this is the best value at $150 or more. Be sure to shake the resin well, clean up spills quickly with IPA, and keep the FEP transparency film clean and scratch-free or you may miss some part of your print, like in my photo. A good way to remove a defect stuck to the FEP sheet is to clean the original resin from the FEP with isopropal alcohol and then using very clean fingers or even a microfiber cloth, use a point to push out the defect stuck to the FEP sheet. fingers and it will begin to peel off the FEP film. They go back and forth with the included plastic scraper or damage the FEP film. It's good to always have an extra FEP sheet on hand as it's easy to replace. I use the included plastic scraper to scrape off the top of the build plate as well as some of the bottom and sides of it to get as much resin back into the tank as possible. . It is also recommended to filter the resin from time to time as any settled particles that have slightly hardened will only prevent the pixel on your build plate or print from being exposed to the UV light. Put those gloves on. or your fingers will turn into hardened plastic and it's a toxic chemical anyway so it's best to work/play safe.

Pros
  • Fast and convenient
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
