Reflex RS Turbo

Same as before. Expect 12 months between cycles. This year was odd, printers got released on a shorter cycle. The Saturn 4 Ultra 16K was probably supposed to be the Saturn 5, but Elegoo released it early (only 7-8 months after the Saturn 4/4 Ultra). Probably because Uniformation was releasing the 16

If I understand you correctly, you want to buy a printer before you know how well your models sell? Why not the other way round? There are 3D printing providers, who have all, the knowledge, machines, scalability and most importantly, everything else that is needed to finish the models. Print a few

Yeah Anycubic long term support is ass. I own an M3 Premium and they ended support for them almost 2 years ago, yet I can still order parts (other than LCDs) for my Saturn 2s from Elegoo... which are the same age as the M3 Premium. Heygears is supposed to open up some of their settings later this ye

Probably to quit resin printing. It’s a pain in the ass, and that’s coming from someone who has bought his 7th resin printer just this week. They all have issues and are flawed in some way. The older Saturn 3 is less problematic as it doesn’t have problematic features like auto-leveling/force sensin

+1 for heygears. The Reflex RS Turbo is the best hobby printer on the market right now imo. With the slicer and settings opening up next quarter there’s no downside. Plus I’ve run a bunch of non-heygears resin using the built in presets and I’ve never had a failure yet

Pretty much nothing in the consumer space will work except maybe the Heygears Reflex RS, they are basically the closest thing we have to a ‘prosumer’ printer. Phrozen, Elegoo, Anycubic, nor Uniformation will not hold the tight accuracy and tolerances you may require for engineering work.

Print resolution took a pretty big leap once we got under 0.03mm/30um pixel size (Saturn 2/8K generation). It's been pretty diminishing returns since then. I own a Mars 2 Pro, and with tuning it can still compete on print smoothness, but it won't render the small texture details that higher resoluti

FDM printing experience really doesn’t translate to resin, you might as well accept you are starting over. My understanding is Formlabs is the only real option as a commercial grade resin printing system. Everything below that is ‘consumer’ grade and comes with a whole host of problems, challenges,

You are going to get a million opinions here. But your budget will dictate everything. Take into account all the extras you have to buy too. My personal experience, when I was in your same position a few months ago I decided to go with the Heygears Reflex RS. I went with the Heygears because I did n

Hahaha dimensional accuracy with resin printing isn’t anything like filament. Especially when you factor resin shrinkage, orientation and supports. And that’s not even including the BS that auto-leveling printers introduce. I highly suggest (should be mandatory) to read Jan Mrazek’s blog for more in
