I don't have a 3d printer for 2 reasons
1 I have quite a bit of unpainted models
2 the longer I wait, the better the printers will get (although I'm very tempted by this video)
Thanks for the video! Have you used it to print some of the Ork models you’ve already printed with another printer? I’d be curious to see how this one compares printing the same model as a more expensive printer.
This printer really has me interested.
Also nice work on the spray gun.
Be good to see what you do in your 3D process. What puts me of is space and what seems a lot of faff n safety needed to use one.
For those worried about the toxicity and smell of resin, there are resins that are low odor and made of a more friendly material. Just Google "non toxic 3d printer resin".
All resin needs PPE, low odor just means it's not stinky. All resin produces VoC's as does FDM.
Can you make model comparisons between this and other entry level resin printers? Would love to see the differences and if it is worth going for more expensive entry level printers.
I’ve just ordered one of these including W&C Machine, resin and isopropyl alcohol to clean cost €340 total, can’t wait to get started 😅
Looking for an entry level resin printer and came upon his one, Googled it and found your review. VERY HELPFUL! I want one. Would love to see a direct comparison to models made with a higher end printer if you could manage it (gonna have a quick look through your other videos in case you've already done one) but otherwise.... Thank you for doing the video and sharing your opinions.
Thanks for this video and your time, depending on what users want to print this might be to small but probably perfect for miniature printing. Apartment dwellers and the likes living in small quarters safety should be of concern. Great review !
Yeah I'll order one.
Just noticed that the replacement exposure screens are less than £30 too which makes them even more attractive to me.
Ill defo be looking into this. Fantastic.
I do find it frustrating when Geeetech sends my 3D printer with missing or wrong parts. When I reach out for replacements, the process takes too long and sometimes they send the wrong parts again
Geeetech should be the last option for 3D printer
I bought one and after 3 days this printer stoped working
What screen is used a mono 2k or something? Certainly an anycubic look UI there
Do you have the settings you used for prints? Obviously all are different but it'd be nice to have a starting point. Thanks in advance.
Just bite the bullet and buy a decent printer in my opinion ( any elegoo would be my suggestion). Decent printers are actually pretty cheap overall nowadays you can easily find one between 2-4 hundred whichsounds bad but is still way cheaper then it was years ago. Wash and cure goes spend 50 for uv cure station and use pickle jars for the wash. So yeah 300 would get you a pretty nice setup and last way longer then that will
Ive veen using an Anycubic Photon Mono for two years now. Cost me 189 dollars (around 165 euro) at the time. From the looks of it, its a similar footprint to this one.
Interesting to onow is that the successor to the Photon Mono is now available at around that same price, but is has a 4K screen.
Does this one have a monochrome screen?
Nope... rgb screen. The cheap that gets expensive over time.
@@robertjokebr1480their site says it's a monochrome screen?
okay that is amazing, can you say anything about the noise level? What has bothered me in the past with lower priced FDM printers is that they are quite loud, is this at an acceptable level? Other than that those miniatures look gorgeous jesus christ
I'd love to get one of those, but the fact that I have a young child and no free room for it is stopping me. I'm not sur it safe for him... gess I have to wait until he grows up :)
Do I need to cure it after it is printed? I see that GEEETECH has a curing machine too. Do I need to buy that too?
Not sure if you ever got the answer but any source of UV light is good - the sun being a free, reliable source (unless you're in the UK).
If you're after a really cheap solution, there are small UV curing stations for gel-based nail varnish. You'd need to rotate the model a few times but it's better than nothing
@@bigtom6443 Thank you, BigTom.
I had my heart set on getting a Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8K or something equivalent towards the end of the year. I am open to budget choices if they can do a similar quality job. WOuld you say that is true for this product?
Many thanks.
I cannot find your link to the printer.
How does it smell? That’s always my concern with resin printers.
All resin stinks.
What about smell? Can you sleep in a same room with a working/idle printer with open windows? Price and dimensions are juicy tho
Generally no - the smell *does* disperse relatively quickly with open windows but UV resin is ultimately a toxic chemical that needs to be treated as such.
Basically, use the same logic you would use for aerosol spray paint. Would you set up a spray paint booth in your room next to your bed? I mean, it won't *kill* you but it's probably a bad idea.
But this one is 2K and with the same plate 6 inch why not 4K ?
what has put me off buying a resin 3d printer is the fear of messing something up and ending up with the device being broken
This one with a bottle of resin and a wash station is cheaper than the Leviathan box set.
Just watch a few how to videos to understand what not to do and you can print minis for literal pennies.
@@Enja_Near I did buy a PLA printer and so far I find it very beginner friendly compared to a resin printer. I may get a resin printer one day if it packs up. So far I’ve been loving every second of using it, I’ve also added little additions to my leagues of votann army like a dwarf that is modelled after Big Boss from MGSV phantom pain
Get a mono 2 £189 best printer for starting it's fantastic! I boght the monk 4k then 3 weeks later the mono 2 came out but now got the saturn 2 8k and have the saturn 3 ultra 12k on order! You won't want nothing else once get an 8k! My 2 monos sitting doing nothing now I like the bigger printers less fails and no sliding or bumping the vat by accident etc just one them things but grab them when on promotion deals if can give anyone a tip! I got 200 off my saturn 2 8k an updated 2023 model with new software update for fans switching off etc!
Keď nemáte garáž tak to ani nekupujte ,v byte ju ani nepouzijte ,pouzivajte iba v miestnosti kde nikto nebýva a je dobre vetrana ako laboratórium,
Elegoo Mars 2 is routinely 99 dollars. Bigger build plate, I think. I'm very happy with mine at least. Not trying to knock this one, BTW.
Has anyone ordered this in the UK? Website doesn't look too trust worthy 😅
I do find the assembly process for the Geeetech challenging. Even with clear instructions, it takes over an hour and involves many small parts, making it easy to make errors
Also, I do struggle to remove prints from the Geeetech rubbery-coated print bed. It sometimes breaks my prints or damages the bed when I try to release them. Shrotly, I will NEVER BUY a Geeetech again. I don't reccomend
I do get frustrated with Geeetech's customer service, which often fails to provide timely support. When my Geeetech writer board burned out during assembly, Geeetech didn't help, leaving me with a broken printer. I will never buy a Geeetech again!
saving the last bit cash, but another family car break down...
I do notice low-quality parts in the Geeetech with linear bearings rattling and stepper motors making noise after a few months. It feels like the components don't hold up well. You can find a better brand. I never buy a Geeetech again. Never!
I do have a hard time getting timely responses from Geeetech's customer service. It often takes a long time for them to respond, and when they do, their help is inadequate. I am not happy with Geeetech. I don't buy again!
Resin storage, smell and particles in the air while printing :(
This seems far too cheap…
Ah yes, the Al Qaeda 3d printer XD
Does this support Lychee Slicer? I saw you using Chitubox.
Lychee saves to ctb when needed
@@pizzalord3n Good to know :)
