What owners say
The enclosed design is the killer feature. My apartment doesn't smell like a resin factory anymore.
iBox Mono2 owner, r/resinprintingNiche pick, but if you share a small space, the enclosure is worth it.
iBox Mono2 owner, r/PrintedMinis300mm bed and linear rails for [this price] is almost too good to be true. It's not.
SV06 Plus owner, r/3DprintingSolid Ender 3 alternative if you need more bed real estate. Sovol did the job right.
