Hey man, if you could do a part 4 on starting the printer process, how to work the software, actually printing, clean up, etc it would be great 🥹😁

[@fladder1]

Even though I've already bought the mono 4k I still found this useful! Thanks for another great compact video

[@vogman]

Many thanks. 😁😁😁

[@RoseKindred]

HAHA, okay the timing of this video was perfect. You and Uncle Jessy released videos at the same time, his on small/large printers. The two videos work perfectly off of each other.

[@vogman]

I wish I could say it way planned, but it was pure fluke... though I wish I had more of his viewers 😂🤣😁

[@ArcadiaDSG]

I buyed Photon Mono 4K a month ago. It's my first 3D printer so, i think any printer inside a standar range fit to me, but always is nice to watch I choosed well. Nice video 💪💪

[@vogman]

It was a great choice. It's an excellent printer. 👍👍👍

[@Annonymous0283745]

I watched your in-depth review on the Elegoo Jupiter, and the ease of breakdown and possibility of modularity won me over. I have one on the way!

[@admiralbees1690]

Saturn 2 is definitely on my wish list!!! Great video as always dude!

[@vogman]

It's a great all-rounder. I think they've been clever to avoid too many gadgets. It's kept the price down but the performance up 😁

[@vashshadow]

I've been looking that one and the m3 plus but not sure which to go for. I like that saturn 2s air filter but I kinda like the m3 plus auto refill idea.

[@vogman]

Only YOU can decide if the auto-fill is worth the extra spend for you 😁

[@admiralbees1690]

@@vashshadow On the Mono X I have had long expensive prints fail because the resin ran dry, so yeah, there's that.

[@flagoon]

Lately I was gifted Anycubic Mono 4k. I also got the cheapest resin I could find, just to test things out. I'm a casual mini painter, but I'd never buy this printer, as I'd aim for higher quality. But to my surprise, the quality is AWESOME! As said in the video, you can't see it with naked eye. Since 2 weeks I didn't have one bad print (once I forgot to refill resin and print came undone, but it's on me). The only issue I have right now, I'm printing huge Tyranid proxy and it's taking 2 days to print one figure. Still, best gift ever.

[@FranklyWry]

Two videos in two days, both excellent as usual. Just when I was going to ask if you’re okay or on vacay. Cheers, buddy.

[@vogman]

I'm fine thanks buddy 😁

[@cerberus333dog]

I think the ANYCUBIC Photon Mono 4K is a great value. Really not getting the attention it deserves. From a price/performance ratio, it is hard to beat.

[@vogman]

Absolutely agree Perry. Did you ever see my review of this? My biggest complaint was that Anycubic hadn't advertised this great printer enough. So many are still unaware it exists.

[@cerberus333dog]

@@vogman Yes, I did see that review (frankly I think i have seen the bulk of your videos on youtube) . As to the printer,I have have very good results with it using the Siraya Tech Cast 3D. Hard to beat price for the results.

[@IPrint3dMinis]

100% agreed, I own 3 of them. Little workhorse printers that have rarely ever had failures or issues for me. They are very low price, well made enough and have great detail.

[@J-_-S]

I'm going to buy that printer

[@J-_-S]

@@cerberus333dog what more options to consider you recommend?

[@PerdixDesignLtd]

Great advice about matching choice to need. My work computer is a £5k mobile workstation monster, but my personal use one is a refurb 1/10 of that cost and it's still slightly overspec'd.

[@vogman]

With computers, being over-spec'd is never a bad thing 😁

[@SILVERF0X13]

My Saturn 2 is coming in the mail on Friday. Super excited for my first 3d printer. I mostly just need to figure out the best way to exhaust the fumes outside at this point. All my other accessories are already here.

Thank you for those step by step guide. That's easy understanding as a guy working on fdm industry for few years. I got a SLA from kickstarter many years ago. And I am waiting for the Anycubic Photon D2 DLP 3D Printer review and your suggest.Those videos are so useful for new comer.

[@vogman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@blueshoals]

It took me some time, but I've finally settled on the printer I want to buy! I hope to be pulling the trigger on that purchase this holiday. Here's how I did it, I hope this helps someone, somewhere: After I researched printers, I got my list down to a few of the best standard, mid, and large printers based on print quality, features, and reviews. Then, I shopped around for STL models that I actually knew I would want to print. I identified the biggest STL in my whole shopping list, which was a huge fantasy airship that came in cut-up parts to be assembled afterwards. I bought it, downloaded it, and put the cut up pieces into a slicer to see how well it fit in each printer's build volume. I filtered out any printers too small for the largest pieces. I also using my very limited experience to make sure the orientation and supports were (I hope) adjusted to give me the best chance of a successful print, and filtered out more printers that way. Then, finally, after narrowing down my choices, I made my final choice based on price.

[@vogman]

Thanks for the share.

[@maxhudson3747]

What’d you choose? I’ve already got a printer but I’m just wondering.

[@burnologist229]

Personally I am a huge fan of the anycubic mega x pro fdm printer leveled the bed once in 2021 and it’s still level. The print quality and bed adhesion is spot on. It is also very user friendly. My only problem is that it hasn’t broke and I don’t have a excuse to stop printing random things.

[@bensgizmo2960]

Great info as always. Very true how the 22 micron resolution is a great benefit for Jewelers. It just reduces the finishing time while keeping a more accurate casting. Very helpful while trying to set 0.8mm diamonds with even smaller prongs. My Phrozen Sonic Mini 8k has served me well for this. My Elegoo Mars 3 was a huge upgrade over the Mars 2Pro for my jewelry needs. But the Mini 8k is by far my favorite over the Mars 3. Like VOG says, it doesn't hurt to have a couple printers. Keeping one set up for castable resins and another for different projects if you have the space. I'm excited for your DLP review!

[@vogman]

0.8mm diamonds? I struggled handling a 7mm garnet. You must have incredible skills!!!

[@svaarcaldersson6628]

@@vogman .8mm might have more uniform heat and dissipate it faster, as it is a smaller gemstone. It would prevent the core of the gem from being hot and the outside being cool which can cause cracking.

A microscope doesn't hurt either. Do anything long enough, you pick up a few tricks.

Quick tip, if you want to monitor your resin 3d prints buy a blink amazon wireless camera. I use it to monitor my prints and it works like a charm

Nice tip. That's a great cheap alternative 😁

[@sarbartha88]

what about photon D2?

[@bomber9955]

Whats your opinion on the Photon Mono M3 by anycubic?, Im thinking about getting it for its 4k features and large buildplate because I intend to do a mix of 28mm and large models/ parts.

[@cipanmandul]

Just as you said. It is mainly based on our NEEDS and or course budget constraint.

[@vogman]

Exactly. Features are great IF you really need them and IF the need justifies the spend. 😁

[@Siekad]

I like my sonic mini 8k, I have 2 now and they provide very sharp prints which does help with painting them, I upgraded from the sonic mini 4k which was a nice printer too, but my favourite feature of the 8k over the 4k is the additional build volume. That said, I also purchased an anycubic mono x 6k that has the same 35 micron xy as the mini 4k, and it was about the same price delivered as my first mini 8k that was a super early bird (I won't get into the arguments of price of delivery from phrozen direct, I was happy to pay twice). I was and still am a phrozen fan, but like my mono x 6k, prints the bigger things and has nice print quality, and wasn't too expensive (and is cheaper now, sub 500 usd, perhaps a second one, maybe the saturn 2 if I wanted to wait).

[@joaomiguelcruz2728]

Hi there! Thank you for you videos. I have a photon S and am searching for the fastest printer. It is said M3 plus can print 100 mm/h. How come? which one would you advise? For dental work so it would have to be at medium size or larger. But searching for speed. Kind regards and keep with the good work

[@nunorodrigues2987]

I am an avid painter of 75mm figures and scale 1/10 or 1/12 busts. Im wondering if something like the Mars Pro 3 is enough for these kind of scales… not that I intend to print a lot in quantity, but wonder if its short for those 75mm figures with scenery, etc.

[@rvc1rvc1]

I bought the anycubic mono SQ for 100 euro's. Also a great printer for an almost absurd price.

[@vogman]

It's not one I've had the opportunity to review, but a great price for sure.

[@IPrint3dMinis]

Nice the SQ is a good printer.

Hey VOG. I'm a big 3d printer guy that has recently taken the dive into metal casting. I'm looking to make some bronze rings with the lost wax method using wax 3d printing resin. I'm wondering if there is any way to cleanly burnout the wax pattern without having to invest in an another expensive piece of equipment like a burnout kiln

[@techclub8528]

Hi Vog i have got a phrozen mini 8k and a mighty 8k. Ive also got the saturn 2 on pre order. What printer should i get next? Would really appreciate the help

[@vogman]

It sounds like you've got it covered. You have fine detail with the Mini 8K and plenty of mid-range cover. You now have to ask yourself if there's anything else you NEED 😁

[@ayonmetar2301]

Love my Phrozen Sonic Mini 8k. Doesn't really qualify as a budget printer anymore, I guess. It's my first 3d printer and it only took 3 print attempts to get everything going smoothly without printing fails.

[@erik3205]

Have you hand any experience with Peopoly? I am looking for a large printer, I have down between the Elegoo Jupiter and Peopoly forge. I wanted the mega 8k, but its too expensive, just the shipping alone is like 700 dollars US for me. Also, as much as I worry about Anycubic printers quality, I have checked their website everyday since you made the dlp announcement a couple of weeks back.

[@antoniomromo]

Love the incredibly honest and helpful video. I can't wait for my mighty 8k to get here. I just have to find a space for it to live in as I am far too clumsy to be moving stuff lol.

[@vogman]

Good choice. You'll love it.

[@ScytheNoire]

I'm surprised you recommended the Sonic Mega 8K. It has a horrible build plate, both in having the holes that clog, and the flat top that gets covered in resin. Even the warranty on the machine is very suspect, and the price is the highest in the category by quite a bit.

[@juanofthekind]

Awesome, perhaps now we can talk about budget resins, what ya think?

i'm still wating for a midsized DLP printer because i've seen enough posts on /resinprinting to know that even the monoscreen printers don't last as long as advertised by the companies, don't want to spent €500+ on a new printer only to have to pay another €200+ a year later on screen replacement

[@vogman]

I think we may be a couple of years away from a mid-range DLP. Even though the technology is not new, it's demanding. That's why these machines usually cost five figures.

[@Archenuh]

Why get Mars 3 when the Anycubic M3 is $222 right now :P

[@vogman]

Because the M3 is NOT the same spec as the Mars 3 Pro. This video might help you understand kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHrMZ4Fver2YrsU

[@vogman]

A better Anycubic choice right now is the Mono 4K which is virtually the same spec as the Mars 3 Pro and much cheaper kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqi9iKhtjsyaqJI

As much as I hate to say it , in 40k universe who doesn't want a warhound titan or 3 The Phrozen mega 8k plus resin and STL file costs would be paid off making just 1 forge world warhound . $3,000 jump with no experience is a big leap of faith .

[@vogman]

That truly is a massive leap. I certainly can see how you'd benefit from the massive plate. However, do consider the Anycubic max. Not quite as big, not quite as fine, but still damn good and more than half the price shrsl.com/3md1y
