How It Scores
Pros
- +218x123mm plate fits a full Warhammer squad in one run, not two
- +12K resolution holds up just as well as the Mars at 14K for most print sizes
- +Tilt release is worth it at this plate size: peel forces on large prints are brutal without it
- +Terrain and base tiles look genuinely stunning at this resolution
Cons
- −Resin consumption goes up fast when you're filling a plate this size
- −Post-processing for a full plate run takes 45-60 minutes minimum
- −The purifier helps but a plate this big curing kicks up more fumes
