So,
After testing the Halot mage 8K,
I can say that its claims of having such high details are true.
After testing many different models, shapes, and busts
The 8K resin printer has surprised me over and over.
The biggest features that make this printer special are:
8K resolution.
Under $260
The Auto Vat clean system
Extra fep film
And the rotating enclosure box (my favourite)
It's hard to find an 8k printer at a cheaper price range than this one.
And it provides 29 Microns resolution. which is fantastic.
The machine is not very heavy making it easy to move around and it still feels sturdy and strong.
I feel like the printer will have a very long lifespan as long as it is taken care of.
The only downsides that I saw on the printer were,
No Wifi
No Handles on the VAT
and non adjustable legs (most printer are like this)
It's compatible with all major slicers which is perfect.
So, are you also excited to print miniatures with infinite precision?
If you give the printer a try. I would love to hear your feedback in the comments below.
I hope you enjoyed the video.
Good luck with your life and have a nice day!

Your dedication to testing and reviewing printers is awesome. Thanks!
I really like your honest review! I saw similar reviews of this machine on RUclips and Reddit. It is very cost-effective and very reliable for long-term use.
love it! I was considering about this machine, but your testing video helps me make the final decision!
Thanks for sharing your insights and experiences with Creality Halot Mage 8K
thank you for your sharing. I have been using this machine for a long time. Its printing speed is very fast and the stand is very stable.
The price is so nice! and the quality, the performance, unbeliveabel!
This was very informative and pleasing voice pattern did not put me to sleep. Haven't jumped on the 3D Resin print band wagon yet however this information and the small budget friendly printer has put this on my radar. Thank you for sharing your time and work.
This looks amazing!
I will look for all the reviews with this. Guy's output is extremely detailed and of course much faster than 3D printer
😂Thanks!
I bought a Halot Mage 8k this past weekend, no experience with 3d printing, after I saw all the negative reviews about it. Can confirm - if you can't make this 3d printer work, you're not as good at 3d printing as you say you are.
How you like it 2 weeks later? Got my first printer in november (bambulab p1s) but love it so much i want to get into resin as well 😅
Appreciate this video! I was worried about this machine because of the negative reviews out there, but I currently use an old Creality H--002, and the mage is on sale for $220. Also, the vent output is important to me. Haven't seen very many with this kind of ventilation, and I engineered something similar for my current printer.
I lucked out with an amazing deal on Amazon. Its been a solid performer for my projects
I want a bunch of warhammer figures.
And It might be cheaper to print them than buy them and probably more fun .
So I'm giving this a try 😁
I'm a bit worried about the painting process though 😬
Creality ender 3v3 se is my first printer and can handle all my needs! Now Id like to get an advanced one. Halot Mage 8K is so great!
Cant wait to use my halot mage to create my fav spiderman masks!
FINALLY! I fond a 3d printer that I can afford which is not just an entry-level one.... Creality is attributed to its high price-performance and my friend recommends me a lot about its printers.
Great review. I just picked up a Halot and the reviews I've been seeing are conflicting. It looks like the problems reside with the Pro model more than the standard Mage. I'm mainly an Elegoo user,so i'm trying to find out the differences. I'm also a Sunlu user, so I was very glad to you're having success with that in the Mage. One feature that's getting overlooked is the main reason I picked this up: the Halot sacrifices print height in favor of more length and width. That's what I needed as it lets me lower the vertical raise to a much more horizontal fit which drastically cuts my print time. I'm subscribing now
I just picked the same printer with the same deal on Amazon. I also picked up the matching wash and cure station for $175. Planning to use it to print portions of mask and figures
Hey Alexalfonso,
Thanks for your feedback :)
Best of luck! I hope your mask parts come out exactly how you wish!
Very nice review of a very good printer. I make custom chess sets and various 3D figures and this machine does a fantastic job. The figures I print are mainly 1/16 scale and 1/12 scale so details are important to me. I started with a Elegoo Mars 4K and in the first 4 months I had 2 machines fail before I got the 3rd one and not holding my breath how long that will last. I have had the Creality Mage 8K for over 2 months now and print at least 2 figures a day. This machine has been perfect and the only print fail I had was because of my error, not the machine.
I love my mage. It printed perfect right out of the box with sunlu abs like resin.
sunlu resin is great
The MageArch Flip Lid is genius - easy to open, saves space, and offers UV protection. Creality thought of everything.
awesome resin printer it prints very well
One good tip, change the fep for NFEP. Game changer.
I really like my Halot Mage, Ive never had a failed print with Sunlu ABS Like Resin.
the little drawback doesnt matter, considering its excllent performance!
Keep sharing your authentic views! Thanku
Creating my own miniatures and cosplay props with the Halot Mage feels incredibly rewarding. Its a unique touch of personalization
Ive been eyeing the Creality Halot Mage 8k for my next project.
Just got this in the mail a week ago and printing just fine I simply manually moved the build plate to level it it took only a minute I'm printing Miniatures and statues for D&D and collectibles
Ive watched a couple of your videos now and noticed that you scrape your FEP sheet with that cheep plastic scraper - Dont use that! It will damage/scratch your FEP sheet up very easily. I use silicone scrapers and tools to avoid scratching and it cleans easily.
You can also use some old support pieces by putting some in the corner of the Vat (pressing gently down) and running a 30 sec tank clean cycle, just pull up gently and bring the entire cured sheet up with it. Be careful not to drop any small pieces of supports into the Vat afterwards -this happened to me recently without me noticing and it cost me a FEP sheet.
Enjoying the content, keep it coming.
it would be great to talk about painting! Thanks.
Please make a video on the painting process
Finally an honest review 😅.
Luigi, do you have any info about the new mage S thats coming out tomorrow ?
I wanna order it but 0 reviews, nothing out
I bought this printer recently, it hasn't arrived yet, and it is the first one I will have made of resin. What would be the precautions to take into account? How often do you have to change the FEP? Does there really come a time when the LCD has to be changed after use?
This 3D printers actually my first 3D printer I also want to get a cr-10 any of the series of the CRS 10s for what does filament side of 3d printing and I print miniatures and cosplay armor
how did you paint your prints? Brush or airbrush?
Hows everyones mage holding up? Ive had a Halot Lite for the last year and its been incredible. The Ford Ranger of the printer world, couldnt ask for something better as a power user with a business. Sadly they dont make them anymore so im scoping out a future upgrade (if this thing ever breaks)
If I am looking to buy one 3D printer on a budget should I go for this and resin printing or a Creality Ender 3 v2 Neo filament printer?
Im having problems with stuff not sticking to the base plate as ive read other people also have had the same issue
I been printing hella minis for D&D
I only paid 200 for mine on sale. I don't see how that can be beat.
Does this involve not curing or cleaning?
I dont have a USB for it (bought it used) what 3rd party USB will work for this printer?
which is better compare elegoo mars 4
Sir, I am a jewelry designer and interested for a 3D printer with direct castable option under most lower budget. Please guide me. Thanks
My issues with it is I am not getting anything to stick to the build plate. After seeing several tips online, gonna attempt to sand the plate and spray lube in the vat to see if that fixes things before I give up and have a mental breakdown
3-in-1 PTFE drops on a microfiber towel, wipe on the FEP vat. Clean the build platform with 90% Isopropyl alcohol and clean paper towel, 5 build exposure layers at 50s.
You should be good to go.
the price is ok for me but I'm undecided between the two about buying a (FDM) creality K1C or buying (SLA) Creality Halot-mage 8K . SLA is more cheaper than the FDM one for me and print quality is nicer but if the 8K screan after a while got dead pixel i think its gona be more expensive than i think . what do you think about that. which one do you think I should buy? i am living in turkey and K1C is about like 27.000 turkish liras and the HALOT-MAGE 8K about like 15.300 turkish liras please let me know your honest opinion
hocam ne yaptınız benimde bütçem halota yetiyor almalı mıyım ?
I see its quite a problem with reviewers. they basically get a test unit from manufacturer even b4 manufacturer has ben able to sort out all the bugs then it gets a bad review because of that. al the other videos ive seen the build plate seems like a rocket ship but on yours its slow and smooth. all the other videos it does not have a fep film but some other murky type film. the model print procedure seems to take 5 steps but on your its is a 2 click procedure and you get a preview. one guy, vogman even went as far as not extending the fan extension vent tube and saying its only 30cm long. what a knob! I have a phrozen mighty 8k but recently ran into a major design flaw with the printer which has caused it to seize up and sadly its not covered by the warranty. so there goes my $1000 printer ive only had for 2months and im eyeing this one as its currently less than $400 in my country. yes I know we are completely buttrhaped on the pricing in my cuntry. while cleaing the vat i spilled some resin out of the vat and it fell onto the drive gear which is completely exposed and it made its way into the housing and into the motor unit of the printer. its the equivalent of putting the petrol tank filler in the the engine compartment right next to the hot engine and hoping no one will spill a drop of petrol and blow up their car. its an incredibly stupid design
anyone know what the scissors / flush cutters are used at @4:46 , their name, brand?
ah found them their called sewing scissors
After using both resin and filament printers, and experiencing failures with both, I’d much rather deal with resin print failures than filament print failures.
Your opinion may change with a Bambulab printer.
Is it really that good performance?
Hey Kewinski,
I will hopefully have a video comparing it with other 8 and 12k printers soon if your interested in seeing the quality differences/similarities.
Personally I think it is pretty good.
Would love to see this
Anyone here have experience with the Creality Halot Mage 8k?
I have been printing detailed figures for over a year now and the Creality Mage does fantastic work. I had started out using a Elegoo Mars 3 but could not count on good details. I take the same file and print it on the Creality get the result I was looking for. I love the sharp figures it helps me make.
I really dont understand why your touting the amazing detail, your not using very detailed models... and I just got to the point where your "showing off the detail" on the calibration artifacts, I really dont understand if your just new to resin printing, or if you were paid by creality.
Take your time and actually calibrate the printer to the resin you are using, i have the same one and not one of my resins need 2.5s exposure, they are all 1.8-2.1. None have stuck to film
This guy looks like Snoop dog but with white skin
Its problem is that it is super slow! Why do you repeat 1 to 5 seconds per layer like the brand says, that's a lie! It's 60 seconds per layer at least, stop telling lies, its speed doesn't reach 20 mm/h, it's 16 mm/h, nobody wants something that slow!
Have you even tried dynax mode at all. have you played with settings when you go to print from creality cloud. Doesn't sound like you actually know what your talking about. 60 sec a layer lmao. 40 sec max for the first layers then it jumps to a 1.2 sec exposure time if you have your settings right. (Depending on resin) for this fast resin is the way to go. Then dynax mode makes the motor travel faster in between lifting layers.
