Elegoo

4.5

(83)

"Has provided me with more minis than I can count."

"I just got the Saturn 3 ultra, I don’t think you can go wrong with many of the brands."

"Elegoo Saturn 4 or Anycubic Photon Mono M5s Pro."

"Saturn 3 Ultra."

"I suggest going with Elegoo's Saturn 3 Ultra, or Saturn 4 Ultra."

"Saturn 4 or mars 5 ultra. If you wanna stretch a little more then the saturn 4 ultra."

"For that price range, take a look at the elegoo Saturn 4."

"The Saturn 4 Ultra is €399, also within your budget."

"Elegoo Saturn 4 is €299 now, great value imo. No need to level it (auto level)."

"I'm super happy with my Elegoo printers & I recommend it."

Anycubic

4.3

(59)

"To me it’s seems so reliable. It’s literally been printing non stop."

"Saturn 3 but wait for the deal then you can get the wash and cure station with it."

"So far, I've printed 2 things and have both turned out great."

"It's been incredibly easy to use, basically plug and play."

"Just get a Saturn 3 or 4."

"I got an anycubic phonton mono and can print small working threads with it."

"Anycubic is easily the best entry level resin printer."

"I just bought a Mono 7 Pro, and prints that took 7 hours before are done in 2 hours."

"The AnyCubic Photon Mono series is small, cheap, and easy to figure out."

"I love it, it’s got a good area and quite tall, not overly expensive and prints look good."

Saturn

4.3

(21)

"The saturn 4 ultra is the best I can thinks of for that price."

"I recently upgraded to the Saturn 4 ultra for the bigger build plate and it also produces beautiful prints."

"I've printed a whole reaver and warhound on my Saturn 3!"

"I've printed a whole reaver and warhound on my Saturn 3! Currently working on a Nemesis Warbringer Titan!"

"It’s been amazing essentially plug and play. Made a few test calibrations and been smooth since."

"The 10 inch build plate is nice and the resolution is near 12k."

"I would choose the Saturn 3 Ultra for its nice COB refractive light source and larger build plate."

"The Saturn/Photon are the best option in terms of print size to budget ratio."

"Very nicely put together, it's got a much bigger screen/buildplate but takes up only slightly more room on my desk than my OG photon, and so far, the prints look great."

"Great for medium size printing; effective heating solutions."

Uniformation

4.7

(11)

"It's a beast of a machine, reliable, has the best heating solution IMHO."

"Gktwo from uniformation is the best on the market. It has a lot of features that others should have."

"I just bought a resin printer last week, and my research led me to get the Uniformation GKtwo."

"Rave reviews about the Uniformation GKTwo from various users."

"Uniformation gktwo."

"It’s the Uniformation GKtwo, then the Saturn 3 Ultra."

"I've been printing for 6 weeks now almost non stop and I've had 1 failure so far, it has a ton of really cool features (resin heater and easy leveling for build plate that also comes out really easily). It's just designed better."

"I wonder if I sold my Saturn and the Wash/Cure station and got a Uniformation GKTwo instead."

"An excellent all round printer with an integrated heater below the vat."

Mars

4.3

(9)

"I bought a Elegoo Mars 4 ultra 9k and it produces amazing prints."

"I have the Mars 2 Pro and love it."

"If you're just starting, try a Mars 4 Ultra to learn."

"It barely fits larger titan parts."

Photon

(5)

"Photon Mono X is great for me as a beginner."

"For $300 you can get a Photon Mono 4k + a Wash&Cure station. They work great."

"I use a photon mono x all the time."

"I'm over here cranking out stuff with a 3 year old 150$ Photon."

Phrozen

"The Phrozen Mini 8K is great for small parts and is reliable and easy to use."

"Phrozen has some more commercial grade resin printers, the Transform has a 13 inch plate and 16 inch height."

"The Phrozen Mini 8KS is pretty reliable and once dialed in, print failures are non-existent."

"The new Phrozen looks great with the built-in heater."

"The power resins formulas have been great on the Phrozen Sonic Mini."

"I really like the Formlabs workflow and the support plan is essential in an engineering environment."

"Formlabs provides much more reliable results and is plug and play."
