I have the Ultra. The reason the size doesn't look that different is because the Ultra doesn't use the full build plate, it actually uses a shockingly small portion of it. I was rather upset by my realization of this. I would really like to see a video of you popping a small object on each corner of the build area and showing a comparison of how close to the edge they print. The Cones of Calibration (search KZitem for it) is great to test this out, as they are tiny and square, so you can really set them perfectly on the edges.

We need more reviewers and creators like you. I've been watching you for years, going from DIY stuff to tech reviews. You're one of the few who I trust to give real, honest, reviews even when it could risk further videos (like the Z-Wobble.) If you say something is worth it, I seriously consider getting it. I am shocked at the performance of this machine, especially the low power consumption for something so crisp and still being at a price level that a home hobbyist would consider. The only question I do have is if a print to be molded in silicone would come out smooth and shiny or if the voxels will become more defined in the de-molded result. But that is not something that a normal review video will do, so looks like I need to get my hands on this for myself. The way the skull ring came out I don't think there will be any issue or need to cover in a thin resin before molding.

Wow, thanks very much. That's really appreciated. You'll always get voxel lines, even if you use AA. It really depends on the print, the way it's angled and supported, the layer height, resin temperature and all sorts of things. Yes you can tinker and tinker and tinker until it's eventually as good as you'll get it, but most folks (especially me) don't have the patience. So yes, if placed in a mold, those voxel lines would carry over as silicone is excellent at picking up the detail. BUT... once a print has been washed and UV cured, you can sand it. This is very easy. Just use VERY fine grade paper, like 600 or 800, then finish off with 2000. Be gentle and wear a dust mask. This can easily remove voxel lines and leave the print silky smooth. After that silicone holds no fears.

I am very much on the fence with printers like the Photon D2 because but who knows what next year brings that will push me over :)

As an owner of the Photon Ultra and Mars 3, I hope people hear the key difference from DLP, detail and DEPTH. The depth is hard to explain and show on camera, but it's really evident when you see or hold it. The clarity in something like scales or the fingers on a fist is how deep the recess is right next to a raised surface. That valley-to-peak is just sharper on DLP. They look more... convincing (I can't say 'realistic' for fantasy creatures or sci-fi...).

Do the DLP prints just look better in person because the voxels are sharper and this allows you to see more detail? The real question is whether they actually take paint better - the rougher surface may affect paint washes etc.

Hi great review I had an idea could you take a macro photo of FDM printer layers together with resin print "pixels" for comparison I feel like it will give perspective how small resin print voxels are.

Ordered it before the launch livestream even started by checking the store page lol, as an Aussie pleasantly surprised by the free shipping! I've had the money ready to go for a printer like this all year. Now to order some tough & flexible resin for that golden mix for minis.

Looks good with AA enabled on this 51um resolution printer ;P Beats every other 51um (or near) printer I've ever seen! xD Definitely a king of the 2K specced printers, can't wait till TI advances enough that they can make a tru 8k DLP unit for us xD

I'm not going to buy a resin printer, because my wife thinks my FDM printer "smells," even when I'm doing a 1 hour print with PLA. I still look at the detail on prints like this, and drool. Clearly this gives great results. If I were in the market to buy, my main question would be "can I get a resin printer with a larger print volume, that looks just as sharp due to high resolution, that's less expensive?" I think we can agree you're not going to see anything sharper than the D2. Question is, how much can raw LCD resolution substitute for the sharp edges of reflected light in a DLP printer? Are the higher-volume printers going to be "soft" by comparison because the PPI on the screen isn't enough to compensate? An Anycubic Photon Mono X 6K is $450 right now, and has a much larger (197mm x 122mm WxD) printing area than the D2 (131 x 73mm).

so first, I really enjoy your videos. the review you posted on the elegoo saturn 2 8K is the reason I purchased that printer (after getting rid of the anycubic printer). my thoughts on anycubic....the printers from that company aren't the issue. I recently returned an M3 Premium. why? well, not because the printer had issues. it's entirely due to the crap aftermarket service from anycubic. there were pieces missing in the box when it showed up. anycubic's solution? buy them. damaged NFEP on delivery (from the factory). anycubic's resolution? buy new ones. they didn't even offer to replace the damaged NFEP or send me the missing pieces. just spend more money. I owned that printer for 3.5 weeks and never got to use it. just make attempt after attempt to get anycubic to honour the issues that were responsible for. they actually didn't offer anything until I said fine, I'm returning it. then they suddenyl wanted to try to fix things. too late. so, anycubic's printers aren't too bad. it's the dumpster fire aftermarket service.

Does your D2 display the time remaining in the print correctly ? Mine shows the hours and minutes at the start, but after a few layers it always displays 0 hours and some quantity of minutes only even when the print has many hours left to print.

I'm curious how these prints would paint up. Will those layers get brought out using washes? Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.
@vogman

Remember I used no AA in my painting example, so with good AA use these would be even softer. Personally I think these layer lines are so fine they'd cover over immediately with a brush of paint. Then washes wouldn't be an issue.

The Photon 2D has a build volume of130.5mm x 73.4mm x 165mm. My Prusa SL1S has a build volume of 127mm x 80mm x 150mm. I purchased your Resin Printer Heater body STL files from Etsy and found that the pre-supported parts would not fit on my build plate and used the unsupported files rotated to 30° to fit to the build plate .. my first case of build plate envy.

An excellent review, THANKS(!) I especially appreciated the close-up shots and you showing the results with AA enabled. - Yours is the first vid I’ve seen on the D2 that covers that. I’d been concerned about the pixilation, as I’ve been thinking about using resin printing for making small gears, and the rough pixilated surface seems like it would increase friction and the parts would wear quickly. AA seems to solve that problem though. I really like the long life of the DLP; I want machines that I can just use as needed, without worrying about replacing critical components. Now I just need to decide if the small size will work ok for me…

Don't be afraid to sand resin prints. Just use very fine paper (600 or 800) and you can even polish off with 2000. This can remove any layer lines 😁
