I think you hit the nail on the head here. We have reached the level of "good enough" when it comes to quality. The next generation of printer advancements will be about convenience and consistency. The various tidbits that we now have to go for in aftermarket addons or DIY solutions need to be solved now. Heated beds and air filters are already here in some printers. Next would be a convenient way to let the resin drip off the finished print, maybe the next-gen printer should have a printplate that automatically tilts to a side to let the resin drip off easier, or the plate is already formed and shaped a certain way to facilitate this. A plate with a detachable, flexible surface as we can get in aftermarket for almost every printer would be a sensible thing. As would be a way that allows the printer to detect if there are any bits of cured resin already in the vat that would harm the FEP or even the lighting unit if it crashes down into it. A more convenient way to transfer the resin back from the tank to the bottle would also be nice. And all the other dozens of little things that we now have to do "manually" that could be made easy by printers that take care of this. I'm absolutely certain that this would also be very attractive to people new to printing, especially if they watch channels like this one first and thus learn that resolution and printing speed ain't everything. What you want is a consistent print, clean air and ease of operation.

This, we've really hit the level of "good enough" that hopefully the next generation of Resin printers focus on all the things you mentioned. Honestly the real next big breakthrough in Resin printing won't be the printers themselves but will be whichever company first makes a non-toxic but useable Resin, then you can have it in peoples homes without having to worry about resin fumes etc. Currently that seems to be the major limiting factor on Resin Printers beyond space. However if that's even possible I have no idea.

@@luketfer It's fairly unlikely. There are a few resins that are at least food-safe when cured, but they are prohibitively expensive (think factor 5-20 to common resins), so no later than at the price tag this becomes a non-issue for hobbyist printing. Turns out anything that reacts to uv-light is also generally not very healthy. So unless we find a different way to cure our resin than uv-light, I guess that will not fly.

@@BitplanebrotherYes. But all these things apply to the thoroughly cured resin. Even normal resin is fairly nontoxic (still nothing 'd hand my 3 year old, mind you) once cured, but there isn't a single resin that I know of that isn't highly toxic in liquid form. And concerning resolution, well, I already could only see a difference between 6k and 8k under a microscope. Yes, you can see the difference there. And under very specific circumstances and on particularly plain surfaces that have to be printed at an angle, you may see (or at least feel) the difference. For any normal miniature or structured print, I doubt the difference is that prominent. And then there is the light bleed you mention, but there are also things like the resolution the resin is capable of hardening at (yes, it's a thing, even resins that can handle higher resolutions have limitations to how precisely they can polymerize) and of course the time factor. Are you willing to wait five times as long for a z=0.01 print than you did for a z=0.05 print? Because we're still talking about speeds that mean you print 3-5 hours for a mini, on a fast printer. Are you willing to print for a whole day for a resolution increase you won't even notice?

Thank you for your professional review and advice. About Heating System: What causes printing failure in a cold environment? In a cold environment, the resin's slow fluidity prevents it from returning to the center of the resin vat in time, leading to printing failure. Heating the resin is an effective method to improve fluidity and ensure successful printing. Should we maintain continuous resin heating? No, based on our experiments, printing failures are primarily related to the adhesion of the first layer to the platform. Successful adhesion of the first layer allows the printing screen (maintained at 40°C during printing) to provide adequate heat for subsequent layers. Continuous heating systems are unnecessary and may cause damage to the LCD and other electronic components.

The problem is, he didn't mention one "little detail" - the file can be printed from either the WiFi, USB or from the 8GB memory on the printer. So, when you print from Wifi, the print gets loaded into the printer memory and prints from there. Doesn't touch your file on the PC. When you print from the USB, it prints off of the USB stick. Nothing gets deleted on the USB stick. When you upload the file from the USB to the printer memory, you then remove the USB stick and print it from the printer memory, nothing on the USB gets touched. Whether or not the printer deletes the file from it's own (printer) memory afterwards is kind of looking a bit different now, right?

Shouldn't printer manufacturers know that we need the vat resin heated, not the air in the print chamber?

Is it too hard to put the power connector and network port at the back, and put the power and USB in the front? Can we have covers that don't require another few feet above the printer to open? Have you seen Elegoo's ridiculous lid on their new Jupiterr? Is it too much to have an native language editor? Why is "manual control" not properly capitalized to match the other menu items? This just feels like a poorly thought out design.

So it's really irrelevant once you are in sub-25 micron resolution territory, and especially a 5-7 micron difference between axes is completely irrelevant without solid magnification.

'isnt distinctly different enough...' wait. im sitting here with BAD EYESIGHT watching this not in full screen and when you went back/forth between the 2 i could clearly read ON THE MACHINES THEMSELVES 'super' and 'ultra' i could clearly see 1 had an inverted bottle. the other did not. thats not clearly distinctive enough? yes the page is janky but wow if thats the actual complaint time to move on and find something else to watch

This seems really nitpicky. You don't need a heater to run all the time, unless you're Santa printing at the North Pole. A powerful Light source under the vat and an exothermic resin curing process maintain resin temp fine. Heaters constantly switching on and off during printing tend to cause more visible lines and errors than an unheated chamber. The website is a little rough? The edges of the lid are a little sharp? User has to attach the lid themself? Really? Those are supposed to be legit complaints? And a Chinese company producing a UI with an awkward translation is supposed to be a surprise? This is a third of the price of the GK2 or the Pre-order only Athena and is competing with the Saturn 3 Ultra and M5s, but has resin auto-fill, heated chamber, pre-levelled plate, ball screw, flip-up cover, wi-fi, COB lighting. If it had a force sensor then this would blow the competition away completely. For the price, this frankly seems like an amazing bit of kit to me.

Oh totally, if you’re happy with it then go for it, I never said it was a bad printer. I’m here to show you what I see, that’s all. If you’re happy with what you see, buy it. These things may put other people off, so they have been included because it would bother other people.

It's just like megapixels in phone cameras (or any camera). These "awesome million-mega-pixel" cameras actually look WORSE than some of the older lower resolution cameras.

Yep ability to render a wider dynamic range or just have a. Controllable aperture is key. The fact that phones digitally and poorly recreate the DOf effect is proof that higher res is not a good measure. I filed this video with a 1080p cameras, compare this to a 4k GoPro

Vat heaters are not needed so long as the resin is warmed when you start it as the curing reaction generates heat. Just stick the bottle between your thighs or behind your computer fan vent while you are getting your slicing and stuff ready and it should be warm enough to pour in and go.

Having the vat stand proud of table when you put it aside is not great in my books. I often need to clean some stuck on stuff on the membrane with a wooden cappuccino spoon and then if the membrane is not directly on top of the table top the first thing it does is to poke a hole in it.
@FauxHammer

I would advise a different approach. You should use the vat clean function to cure the a thin film of the whole screen area. then instead of pushing down with a scraper, push up from below with your finter in one corner - the whole piece and anything else that was stuck will come away much easier

I am looking for a printer that can be used to print small functional parts under modeled addons for my train models, that also need to be dimensionally correct. I am currently using a mars 2 pro but am looking for an upgrade. What would you suggest? I am not really on a budget, but would preference something around 500 dollars, if the more exspwnsive ones aren’t vastly better. Thanks in advance.

While you are correct that the heater should run while the printer is running, resin layers curing keeps the vat warm, have you never tested this? I have a Fermintation belt on my Saturn 2 connected to a thermostat controller, I keep it at 78f, the rooms ambient temperature is 56F, when I come back a few hours later the thermostat reads 88f. As long as the resin starts warm it will keep it's self warm with each layer. Try it out.

Thanks Ross. I was looking at this printer but turning the heater off when you print? Useless! Heating is not that important to me as I can control the (tiny) room temp easily, but if that doesn't work right what else is wrong? Nice review 👍

You really don't know that, do you, he didn't show how the heater actually works, it doesn't just turn the heat on and turn it off when you enter and exit that menu - he just said. How it really works, is it turns on the heater and moves the build plate up and down into the resin, stirring and warming it and the build plate, too, until the build plate and the resin are at the set temperature. The printer is enclosed with that "very heavy lid" as he mentioned - which is good insulation. Once it reaches temp. you start the print, and it works fine with none of those striation problems like GK2 had until they decided to move the heater down below the LCD to age it and the crappy UV LEDs faster. But that's ok, Rossy don't know but now you do...

@@ausfoodgarden We'll never know from his video, because he never mentioned and didn't show what the heater and printer does between turning it on and leaving that menu , in addition to just heating while that menu is active. If he would have showed the actual heater function with the "stirring" (he knows how to do timelapse of course), and let it heat the resin to the temp he selected, measured the resin temp in the vat and temp of the build plate (IR thermometer is handy for this for people who are serious about printing), let it print with the "heavy lid" on, and measured temps during print, then showed the result (using the real print that just printed in the heater test), that would have been a real review of that function, whatever results were - instead of a typical Fauxhammer media video production (dramatic and shallow like 3D printing soap operas)... So unless someone saw all this demonstrated somewhere else, all they know from this video is the heater doesn't work when printing and nothing at all else about it. Somehow, after all that, all the prints he showed here looked great, and far better than anything he printed with his "favourite resin on his favourite printer"...

The cold winter weather reduces resin fluidity, leading to first layer printing failure. Preheat the resin using a heater before printing to ensure optimal temperature for successful first layer printing. During UV curing, generated heat should maintain resin within an appropriate temperature range, ensuring fluidity and successful printing.I believe this represents the correct design idea!
