In today's video we take another look at the Creality Halot One Resin 3d Printer. This printer was reviewed on the channel 5 months ago and at the time was less that stellar with slicer issues, incomplete features, and firmware quirks. Creality has been busy on updating their Halot Ecosystem and in today's we take another look at this printer. The difference between the Halot one in July compared to today is night and day.

Bought this printer when the online store sold it for 200 dollars and it's been a great first resin printer for me since it hasn't given me any issue aside from me having to pay for a lychee license to fully use the software. Build quality is really solid and I'm glad I chose this printer.

[@Justagreenblob5620]

What resin do you use I’m confused?

[@theNikonGuy]

The Halot One is my 1st printer, and I have had zero issues to date. Thanks for the revisit.

[@charliemattoon2302]

Good to see they’re taking steps in the right direction!

[@johneutube1975]

Thank you for recognizing the settings on screen as being better! I have been fighting this fight a long time

[@aamorin007]

Genius, thanks a lot for revisiting this , I looked your previous video and was hesitating about buying it but now looks like it’s safe to do it 😁

[@thespianmask]

Funnily enough, my Halot One had been gathering dust until just last week. I could never get it level. Right side of the build plate was ALWAYS tighter than the left no matter how many times I followed proper leveling instructions to the dot. Prints would fail way more often than they would succeed, and I just shelved it out of frustration. Came back to it recently and tried to dismantle the build plate attachment and put it back in reverse, as in the side of the build plate that faced me when properly installed is now facing the machine. It leveled perfectly, and now my prints come out with no hardware related issues. Only problems I get now are caused by improper supports. Been printing nonstop for the past 1 and a half weeks now with minimal issues. It's a great printer.

[@anthonycassidy3896]

Hi Daniel, I watched your last video, and it made me sceptical, but i have see reviews since with the upgrades. Now your new video cxonfirfs to me that this is the unit i will get. Unfortunately, i have otrher projects on the go, but definitely convinced me!

[@W.Keeling]

thank you for spending time re revisiting this printer, I think with the updates it is a different printer

[@potatosandwich1]

Bought this yesterday, then I saw your video dissing it. Cant explain how glad I am that those issues were addressed

[@limpfinger12]

This is my first resin printer. The price for this and the wash and cure station ia insane right now. Can't wait to get it going!

[@clavenmoo]

Creality‘s operation makes me understand that my Halot One Plus is a disposable printer. If the parts need to be replaced, there is no parts to replace it

[@jon9947]

Another great video. I never understood why companies sell half baked products either. If your a customer who buys one of these machines, you are going to remember that experience and likely share it with everyone you know. It would be so much cheaper in the long run and better for their image to just test products and release a finished product. I guess at least they listed and fixed the issues, that is better than some companies. If only they could fix the Sermoon with a firmware update.

[@Victor-bx3js]

Great review! Can we have one of the halot one pro please? Thanks !

[@DustinGorman]

I just bought this to see if I'm going to like resin printing. I didn't want to chance it with the Prusa SL1S, to not enjoy resin printing. I'm glad to know they've worked out a lot of the kinks. I was able to get this new, for $145, and I'm excited to get it going!

[@tomeknapierala5246]

Bought it yesterday for € 115. Is my first 3d printer, I'm excited :)

[@Cvile69]

Banggood 50%, right? Copped one myself hehe :)

[@avejst]

Great re-review 👍 Thanks for sharing your experiences with all of us :-)

[@gamiiee]

Just got mine from the sale 99 euro including shipping and vat what a steal!

[@Asher5250]

Problem is customer service sucks. I bought my machine a month ago and only got 1 print off before it stopped printing. I updated the printer, downgraded, updated, downgraded, etc., changed, FEP, etc. When I contacted customer service I gave all information including Amazon order number, pictures, detailed explanation, etc. It took a week for them to get back to me and all they asked for was a copy of the actual Amazon receipt. I sent that and now over a week later have not heard anything back. Also, you can't buy any replacements from anywhere other than Creality and you can't buy all items that you may need to replace.

Is this the Pro or regular? Is there much difference? The ability to change exposure time on the machine without having to go inside and re-slice would be fantastic!

[@Celestial_Reach]

Is this the halot one or the halot one pro? Cause im seriously lookong into making one of these

[@HotboiEngineering]

Creality was doing a 50% off sale, picked up the Halot One Pro for only $150. Excited to see what it can do I’ve been FDM printing for ~6 years now.

[@justfox5989]

I did the same thing yesterday i am very excited to make my own experience with this printer

[@ulrika8198]

Have you tried the Elegoo Mars 2 or 3? I haven't found any videos comparing these two and I would love to know how good they print compared to each other for miniatures.

[@catzsreview7595]

I have funds for either photons mono 4k or halo one; which one is better?

[@suongdiep7261]

can you advise how to install creality halot one brand 3d printer for resin siraya purple, thank you very much.

[@jonnysimps]

should i get one now, because i can get if for 120 dollars now ?? this is going to be my first SLA printer and I know its old already

[@tadhgd350]

The prusa SL1/s has been able to change printer settings directly on the printer since it has released.

[@Marshcreekmini]

I've considered replacing my OG Photon for a mono printer. I've fallen in love with my Ender 3, and wonder if Halot is the way to go?

[@ridik4267]

What would you pick this printer or the elegoo Mara 3 ?

[@billybobbarklow8289]

I've recently purchased the Halot. Everything was easy to set-up and i printed the stock Eiffel Tower, but after that, I can't print anything. I've watched soooooo many tutorial videos but nothing works. I don't know what to do.......

[@Lucas-yg8rn]

Well, pls give a call to creality because they Hid again the screen duration for the entry printer. How many hours until replacement? For the Creality LD-00R had to find by myself (600hrs). I wish you and all reviewers out there started to dig into Replacement time and cost for the printer screens.

[@romeo032982]

So is this about the halot one or the halot one CL-60 ?? Cuz I’m seeing different ones on Amazon with two different prices??

[@fenceup07944931177]

I write this just 3 week after the video was released, and already the slicer looks very different again. From someone who is very new to resin printing, I can highly recommended it. After my initial failures with the Voxelab Proxima 6.0, I nearly gave up. A similar spec / price printer, but with night and day performance.

[@mookiie]

I just bought one on second print working fine, I’ve upgraded firmware to latest beta which adds either printing with settings from the printer or file, also the latest halot box software works great will be removing lychee due to having to sign up and adverts before printing.

[@imnotryuu6391]

Do you recommend this printer over the elegoo mars 2 pro?

[@freezburn]

I know the video is a little old but the Anycubic Photon Mono also allows you to chance printing setting from the machine.

[@dustinpoissant]

2 minutes in... "Lets get right into the video", Me: "well we are already 2 minutes in so its a little late for that statement, but ok lets get started." And then you proceed to do your sponsored segment... Do words have meaning anymore? Does "lets get right into the video" mean "lets do an ad, even though you haven't actually gotten any content yet"

[@Tom2theY]

Sold, just ordered one after being put off over older reviews against the LD002H.

[@bleh1323]

The Halot One has been phenomenal for us.

[@graycbr600]

where is the best place to get this new firmware as I cant find any to download on site ?? As mine is the factory default 😞

[@Nick_Knackz_]

Would you consider getting this for 99 a better option than buying an Elegoo Mars 3 for 171? First Resin printer.

[@Cheshys_Wonderland]

@modbot wouldyou recommend the hallot lite?

[@SilentCarrier]

I'm late to the party, but I just got a Halot as my first resin printer and wonder if you found the activated carbon filter to have any effect on the smell and amount of chemicals in the air ? Maybe it's my resin choice that was bad (Elegoo ABS like resin, smoky black), but it stinks my whole basement as soon as I fire it up, raising concerns about health issues.

[@leebaxtertrading]

yes the carbon filters will help with that

[@WilcoGroothand]

Great review of a review.

[@computer1up]

So excited! Just scored one for 130 eurobuckaroons on 3D Jake. Seems like I got a good deal!

[@ComgrowOfficial]

Keep it up, dude!!!👍👍👍

[@flphil4537]

Your original video is linked on their store web page for the printer..... maybe they should use this video instead now. hahaha

[@timking8959]

I just bought the printer for $129 Can. Got one print from it now it won't print at all. Vat clean doesn't work either. I can see the UV light working but it isn't very bright so I think the LCD screen has failed or maybe its a firmware issue. I hope someone can help.

[@jpsfish5966]

As an agile software manager I kind of like the MVP push of a product then fast iteration. Early adopters are able to take in the product and provide quick and VALUABLE feed back, such as yours, that they would otherwise take monthly longer to figure out. If the defects are so severe that the product doesn’t work, then yes hold it back. But if it runs and this speeds up the advancement of the hobby, then push that baby out to market. This all hinges on the idea that Creality will quickly iterate on feedback, so keep up the good work team and thank you for these awesome videos man.

[@mwinner101]

You must work for Microsoft…

[@MrJohnJohnWayne]

In our company, we call this a banana product. Ripens at the customer.

[@henhen7890]

I think the issue people had with the product was that it wasn't at 100% beta yet, let alone being aa beta. Like the supports causing the model to shift up and then ultimately fail should have been fixed. Moving the bed when paused should have been added the first update. Later things like mobile app connectivity could come later but some core functions were not yet ready which was the issue.

[@honthirty_]

JP's Fish: if you are a manager, I worry for your employer & question their hire decision.

[@jpsfish5966]

The printer improved in less than 2 quarters and is now providing a much higher value to the customer, at no additional cost. You mad about that?

[@charbelmarounkanaan6684]

I have this same model but the screen is not monochrome

[@SuperDominic4]

I'm debating getting the halot one+

[@johneutube1975]

Wait til you see the next slicer!

[@alleosussquirt8041]

A year later and I'm curious if it has gotten even better.

[@philr3630]

So is the hardware/ machine from your earlier review the same and just the firmware and software were upgraded? ie. If someone is selling the Halot printer second hand, can it be upgraded to the machine you now describe if firmware and software is applied?

[@klager2828]

yup as he said he just update the firmware

[@jamesfirth-haydon7381]

I’m liking this machine as an entry printer. I’m looking at getting a resin printer for figure and scenery prints for wargaming only. I don’t have a PC so watching your review would I be able to use just my I phone with their app and work the file to get it ready to print out ?

[@afsalza]

Thanks, i just bought it because this revisit! amazing videos. Greetings from Colombia

[@prohet-econo]

[@jixs4v]

I forgot to update when trying to print for the first time. Froze at layer 5 and I, as a resin beginner, after idiotically trying to drain resin poured resin on my table. Really bad experience but totally my fault

[@beebees3d]

Off topic: was your voron 0.1 9mm spacers exactly 9mm

[@ServentofTheMostMerciful]

Halot one for 85, or Mars 3 4k for 130?

[@fredinjohn]

So does anyone know what firmware they are shipping with. I know my ender 5 shipped with firmware that didn't function and needed to be updated prior to functioning.

[@specialingu]

its easy to update, you put firmware on usb stick, plug it in and find in menue update option...

[@s8nlx661]

Totally stoked...just bought the epax 10 with the understanding it was 192x120x250 and 4k. What i recieved was the upgraded 10.1 5k 220x140x250. So to those thinking of buying the printer off Amazon....do it, youre actually getting something much, much better.

[@aspmos]

Can anyone suggest a god resin for this printer? I would like to try the water washable ones

[@Ashden96]

water washable is garbage

[@BrandonWhipp]

So, halot one vs elegoo mars 2?

[@henhen7890]

I bought a Halot One a few months ago over a Mars 2 Pro because of the nicer LCD display, but also because I got it for just under $200 while the Mars 2 Pro was still $260. Print quality I wouldn't expect to be too different but that screen and lower price was too good to pass up on. Now with the updates its kind of a no brainer. It's a shame I'm kind of lazy and haven't printed too much, I kind of don't want to just produce more plastic waste too, but if I were to go to Elegoo I think it would have to be for the Mars 3 for the slightly larger size and higher resolution. Though like he mentioned that resolution may be unnoticeable.

[@johneutube1975]

Halot. Hands down

[@kibatechwolf]

I've got 2, the slicer still sucks. You have to save with supports as a stl, delete the model and reload your saved model. My screen does not look like that though. My thoughts on it, they are good other than the film needs replacing often and few times won't stick to the bed.

[@specialingu]

the newest? firmware changed the ui abit :)

[@kibatechwolf]

@@specialingu I realised that and updated both. Question the on screen timer always wrong for you too? I have prints hours over the time.

[@Jibs-HappyDesigns-990]

will U revisit this?? they have changed & added ''new'' models!! thanks bud! HALO-ONE-PLUS!

Do you think that Crealty might be able to update the firmware via Wi-Fi in the future?

[@henhen7890]

They already do that, when he was showing the UI, there was a button that said local update which is where over the air updates are.

[@miodragkat6234]

Can you try to use a FDM Printer as an "injection molding machine" ? Just by using a simple cavity of roundabout 2-3 cm³ to evaluate if it would work ? Didn't see any videos on youtube to this topic

[@linusthorsell437]

Very unlikely to work. Guessing it could theoretically work with a huge nozzle and a high flow nozzle, but by then ur better off just building ur own injection molding machine :)

[@robertcarter303]

Short answer is no. It is completely different technology.

[@RED2K2TIMMY]

Makes me wish I’d of went with a halot over my Saturn s

[@SydneyTravellersGuide]

I'm watching now and I think you know... with regards to firmware upgrades etc and having product issues during covid = shows what the problem review channels like this is to companies. Lots of products get better over time with firmware upgrades - eg sony ps4/ps5 etc.
