So happy you're back putting up new videos! You've inspired me to dust off my old original Mars and put it to use! That said, it feels like I'm a few generations behind, I wonder if you would think about doing like a monthly recommendation (maybe on your Patreon) of like "here's the printer I'd get right now, here's the one that looks good on the horizon" or something like that. Anyway, glad to see you're back, keep up the great work!
Yeah I have an anycubic d2, basically the same as this printer specs wise.
Absolute joy to print, no worries about dead screens from failed prints or mistakes on my part (4k screens cost a bunch in au)
Got it for $450usd including shipping and tax, with a wash and cure and 3kg of craftsman resin from anycubic. So the deals are out there.
As a display painter and not army builder it is just a nice printer, extremely quiet and low power too.
Good to see you back. Hope you are feeling a lot better.
Thanks for the review, it's good to see you back in business :)
Really was hoping this was one of the printers you would review! Thanks so much!!
Excellent! Just got one of these and getting ready to set it up. Thank you for the review!
Glad to see you back
If you are looking for more printers to review, then I would suggest thinking about the Anycubic Photon Mono 2. It's a couple of months on the market and around the $200 mark. I just switched to using one from using a Saturn. I'm absolutely shocked at how good it is. I swear it must be the best beginner machine out there. The FEP is a little more costly though as it comes in pre-installed frames, but you wont have to worry about tension.
From what I heard, the monoscreen life expectancy is based on screen-time rather than print-time, so only the exposure time counts to that during printing... ;-)
If they would make this in a Saturn, add a heater and auto-leveling, update the FEP design, they could take my $$$.
Oh yeah we'd love that, but that's gonna be a 2k price tag, nvm resolution lmao
Where ya been bro? Hope your doing well.
Need to turn up the heat in your room... or is that just for subscribers??
Hey just a heads up. I believe that the link to the leggings is broken.
fixed thanks!
"down in the 20s the eye won't be able to see any better than that" We will be able to see the difference but it won't be more general detail, anything under about 30um is getting you more texture, that's the level of detail we are getting to, I'd think the difference between 10-20 could even be seen in terms of textures. Think about what makes matte surfaces matte? microscopic bumps, individual bumpas are microscopic yet we can still see the result of them as they create visable texture. Or take butterfly wings, their wings instead of using pigment to reflect certian colours, they have structures the size of visable light that trap certian wavelengths and reflect others, since these structures are the size of visable light waves they cannot actually be seen with a microscope, they are too small, instead scanning electron microscopes are used to see the actual structure. However, we can still see the result of these structures with our eyes despite not seeing the structures themselves. So it will absaloutly be possible to see the difference with higher detail prints, infact we already can, look at a camera sensor, the micro mirrors in a DLP printer, or a silicon chip in general, they are very colourful because they have parts on the scale of light waves so specific waves are reflected and absorbed due to the geometry just like the butterfly wing. Painting of course makes this level of detail irrelevant, I doubt after priming you could see better than a 20um DLP even with a microscope.
Nice video. I love my anycubic dlp printer, however the build plate is small, and the mars doesn't seem to be any bigger. Is this a limit of the dlp technology as well?
Yes. Texas Instruments makes the DMD (Digital Micromirror Device) Chip sets at the heart of these DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology 3D printers. TI charges a lot of money for these DMD chip sets, and the price goes up fast with higher resolutions. TI charges about $30 for just the DMD part of the chip set (and that’s when buying minimum of 1000 pieces per order), which is a 1280 x 760 pixel DMD device. That’s a good price cause they used to charge about $100 to $120 for that resolution DMD device. The Anycubic Photon Ultra uses that DMD chip set for 80 micron pixel size and small build area. The Anycubic Photon D2 and Mars 4 DLP also use the this 1280 x 760 pixel DMD, but they also use an XPR (Extended Pixel Resolution) module which essentially shifts the pixel field by 1 pixel in the X and Y directions (over four sub time periods during the full layer exposure time) to produce a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels (about 51 micron pixels at the projected build area on the newer DLP printers). Long story short, until TI lowers the cost and gives us affordable higher resolution DMD chip sets, these Anycubic and Mars DLP printers are probably all we will see.
dear where can i find the data for military figures to be printed in scale 1/35 thanks greetings from Belgium geerinck
I'm with you on the ball joints -- don't like em compared to the 4 screw build plates. I've had to re-level my Saturn 2 more than any other printer. 😅
Agreed
Wonder what happened to him?
Where is your dwarf lady that you always print and compare to?
Aaaand he disappeared again
Did you use anti aliasing st all? What layer heights did you use?
Dang it, I asked this question while I was watching and you just mentioned the .2 heights
