How It Scores
Pros
- +330x185mm plate is the largest resin build area in the consumer market at this price
- +8K detail across the full plate without the hot spot degradation that plagues cheaper large-format LCDs
- +Dual tilt release on a plate this size prevents the vacuum seal failures that ruin large prints
- +Professional-grade aluminum build quality that handles the stress of frequent full-plate runs
Cons
- −$749 for a resin printer is a serious investment, plus $80-120 for a wash station to match
- −High resin consumption: a full plate run uses 400-500ml, which adds up weekly
- −100mm/hr speed is the same as entry-level machines: the size advantage doesn't come with a speed advantage
