Pros

  • +22-micron XY resolution: individual scales on dragon miniatures, every rivet on armor, no blurring
  • +ParaLED 3.0 delivers even exposure across the full plate, no hot spots
  • +Mono LCD longevity is proven at 2,000+ hours without degradation
  • +Phrozen's resin profiles are dialed in out of the box

Cons

  • 80mm/hr print speed is the slowest on this list: patience required
  • 165x72mm plate is tiny; large models need slicing and gluing
  • No WiFi: USB drive and manual file management only
  • Phrozen's recommended resin is pricier than generic alternatives

What Owners Say

22-micron XY resolution is not a gimmick. The detail is genuinely jaw-dropping.

If you do jewelry or ultra-fine miniatures, this is the only printer that matters.

Verdict

Jewelers and ultra-fine miniature painters: this is the machine. The 22-micron resolution isn't a spec number, it's visible in the print. Everything else at this price blurs at the edge of detail where this holds sharp.
