Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great printer! I am new to resin and this printer is very easy to print on!

This printer is great. If you're worried about getting into resin because like me it seems difficult, get THIS printer. It facilitates resin 3D printing. It took me less than 30 minutes to start typing as a complete novice out of the box. The printer comes with a number of accessories, a nice and sharp wooden-handled scraper to remove the print from the build plate, a small plastic scraper (to scrape the resin off the resin). on the top of the mounting plate I think), some gloves, paper filters to recycle unused resin, a USB drive and various sizes of Allen wrenches to work with the printer. All you need is an alcohol bath, a hardener and a respirator to get started. The yellow tinted plastic outer case is very durable, much more durable than the photos online suggest. The building board is very well made. , All metal, the top of the build plate is angled to allow excess resin to drain off the finished print. Resin is quite expensive compared to FDM printing, so these nice touches really help. The bed was very easy to level with the bed leveling card provided. The resin pot (plastic) is held in place by a fast-spinning thumbscrew, which is nice if you're trying to be careful with toxic resin. The bath also features sculpted fill lines to help you estimate the amount of resin used for each print. I'm new to printing with this stuff so having them there is very helpful. The touchscreen works well, the touchscreen buttons are easy to navigate, I didn't have to read a manual or anything, everything was intuitive. My first print was a test print of the Anycubic box logo and it came out perfect. I used inferior resin and still printed great. I was a little apprehensive about resin printing as it looked difficult, but if you have any doubts about the possibility of trying this technology, I wouldn't turn down this printer. I'm a hardcore FDM printer and this printer got me started with resin printing very easily. You will be amazed at the quality of your printouts compared to the FDM media you are used to. I highly recommend this printer. I bought this after researching several resin printing groups and forums and they all led me to this printer for price/quality.
