I bought the m3 premium cuz of your reviews. It was awesome, still using it. I have a replacement screen just in case. Never got wifi to work but eh. It's all good. It's an absolute workhorse. Almost half a day every day for 4+ months straight
You should have mentioned athena
Why you put constantly in your movies this stupid visualizations of some customers/dollars/emotions – we want to watch PRODUCTS!!!!!!
Now that's a review! Thats awesome!
I got a complicated question, I am deciding between the Sonic Mini 8k and Saturn U and GKtwo. For what I understand that Mini and Saturn have very well Sharp detail probably more than the GKtwo? and GKtwo seems to be like a well rounded both size and detail. And the Heater is the game changer plus the other features.
I live in the desert and we don't have much cold in here. And i see you pointing that temperature is something we need to pay attention for results.
Would you still recommend the GKtwo for detailed Minis war-games and mini parts even with our home temperatures? I keep seeing the the 8k Mini and Saturn to be the ones referred as "Top detailed mini Printers" But the Gktwo could handle easier more detailed resin. I am so sorry for the long ass question! This is a lot of amazing information and will use one of your links to get one for sure!
Thank you!
If only there was a resin printer that automated away the messy/clean-up part of resin printing. One of the nice things about the X1 carbon on the FDM side of the world is it just works and does the hard parts. Would love to see that happen with resin as well.
This is a fantastic guide, I will be linking people to this when I get asked what printer they should buy from now on.
i bought the UniFormation one after alot of looking around, reading and watching youtube videos. and i can say that i am glad that a bought that one. i got to print almost straight away no problems and sooooo easy to use!
I’m very tempted to get the Mars 3 pro as it’s on sale for $160 atm. The Mars 4 and 4 max seem to be a decent amount more and for a first printer I think this seems like a good option for me
Your review seriously made me consider uniformation printer… I have the Saturn 2, but certain things about it leave a lot to be desired. But close 2nd would be either Phrozen mighty 8k or Saturn 3 Ultra. Which of the later two do you prefer ?
I think I got the last m3 premium on Amazon, just got one in September for $720…according to CamelCamelCamel, none have been sold since that day. oof.
I’ve been hovering over a resin printer for a while, just picked up a Mars 3 pro for £135 on Elegoo early black friday deals. Seemed like a no brainer for that price. Thanks for the videos, they are really helpful 🫶🏼
Preface, I have zero experience of items for resin printing. I have an Ender 3 which has gotten plenty of use, but I'd 1) like to print mini's and 2) want to deal with the issues of FDM less.
With the early Black Friday sale going on at Elegoo and a budget of $200 I'm torn between getting the Mars 3 at $130 and spending the remaining $70 on the additional items needed, UV lights and washing equipment, or the Mars 3 Pro at $150. I assume the extra $20 should be a no brainer and just save up a bit extra to get a proper wash and cure station down the line, but am not 100% certain.
Thank you for the concise Resin printer model as a noobie to resin 3D printing. Any comments on Uniformation GK Two vs Athena…they seems like cousins in this range of product. I reviewed your GK Two and almost convinced to choose that product but if the Athena is the better future feature model for consistent prints than maybe it's worth even without the Filtration. Is the Smart Force really worth it or not really once you dial-in the resin, etc?
What would yoy recommend for someone who just needs reliability and repeatability? I print just one thing but a lot of it. It’s just a short 40mm ish cylinder with a diameter of 35mm. I don’t need detail. Speed is a nice to have but not necessary. Just repeatability and low pulling force (i print them flat not angled and fill the bed if i can but most printers can’t handle doing that for hours on end in my experience). Coming from a flashforge foto 8.9s and a 1st gen saturn.
Hey, beginner here. I got a question about the uniformation gktwo 8k vs 12k. When you said that theres no real difference will it still be the case when printing 6 to 10mm epic/warmaster ?
Ooooh I'm still in a dither. DLP or LCD but I really would like wifi. Difficult decisions. If I do decide I will use your affiliate link.
So what I’ve gathered is that each one is better than the next. So if I want to 3D print a Death Korps of Kreig army for warhammer 40K what is the best more budget printer to get an excellent quality army? Right now I’m looking at the mars 3/4 but are there other suggestions or is one of those a very good printer for what I need
no creality printers… sad
Anybody, would you go for the Phrozen 8ks or the Saturn 2 8k. Both are around the same price here in the EU. Thanks
Mate, really appreciate the hard work, dedication, and clarity you put into EVERY SINGLE video you produce. I hope your audience understands what goes into making videos like this. Unquestionably, the amount of work is off the charts. The research alone is a full-time job.
Well done and THANK YOU for helping me pick my next printer!
I've been using the Creality 3 (a NIGHTMARE) and a Mars 2 (a joy!) for a few years now and love what I've created with them. Your research has improved my understanding and my enjoyment of the hobby significantly.
Using your reference link for my early Xmas present, the Mars 3 Ultra!
