The little plastic pallet is a cool touch.

[@UncleJessy]

I know right?! Totally adds to the cuteness of it

[@DonsArtnGames]

I was annoyed by the pallet when they first announced it. I thought, "What a waste! You could have used the money to improve other areas of the printer..." But you know what? It's kinda grown on me. Too too adorable. I kinda want to 3D print a forklift now 😅

[@LarsBakhuis]

@@DonsArtnGameshow much do you think that plastic pallet costs? I dont think putting that money elsewhere would do anything

[@DonsArtnGames]

@@LarsBakhuis It's not the cost of the pallets themselves that was a concern, but the time and costs of machining the molds for it and such. Earlier in development, they had trouble getting the wash and cure to integrate the mixing bar into the casing. I thought the money would have been better spent developing a better design for the mold and case.

[@tylercocomelon]

Something tells me they 3d print them for like 4 cents and took maybe 3 seconds to think of and 2 minutes to model

This looks like it would be fantastic for someone who wants small custom parts for things like gunpla, but isnt interested in 3d printing at large

[@Mr_Yeah]

I didn't know what Gunpla meant, read it as GunPLA and thought it was about 3D-printed pew-pews 😅

[@triforceeternal]

That is...precisely the reason I bought it, haha!

[@pixelpuppy]

exactly in this target market. but feels like it needs a higher resolution screen.

[@MrFirecasters]

Pretty niche that

[@ashtaron23]

3d printing custom parts for gunpla has gotten big over the past couple of years alone. Even before the pandemic hit, it has been on a rise and companies like anubis has been selling resin 3d printed parts for gunpla since at least 2020 or earlier than that.

[@oliverfong418]

Best part of it, it's an open source product, so just a matter of time for someone to put a higher resolution screen in it!

Lol how much resolution do you think that you can see on a miniature print???

This has the same energy as an easy bake oven. It's just so small, looks cheap, looks like an obvious toy, but actually functions just as well (or almost as well) as a normal resin printer. The initial kickstarter $119 price point is also really really nice. Like, that basically makes it one of the most affordable 3d printers out there now and will open up the ability for more people to get involved in it.

[@Zhinoi]

It's only 40 bucks less than a normal resin 3D printer. For the limitations you place on your prints, it's definitely not worth it. This is seems like a niche thing to have just because.

[@A-McDrae]

I want one for the party trick of pulling it out on a dnd weekend trip, just to print that unexpected goblin friend that our party kidnapped or a baby owlbear our ranger insists on looking for after we killed it's parents. With the carrying case and mini curing station it is fully contained and so easy to bring along.

[@pinopino-0]

@@Zhinoi pretty obvious you're not supposed to get this if you have the space for a normal one

[@DrCognitive]

Generally, I just use my PLA 3D printer, but one thing I'd like to print is game miniatures. They do not print well with PLA. This would be perfect to fit the gap if they can increase the quality of the prints.

[@thirtythreeeyes8624]

Seems aimed at kids and resin printers and children seem like a bad combo

[@Rocky1115]

320x240 is a huge dealbreaker. At $119.99, you should get at least a 2k screen on it. For $50 more you can get a full-scale resin printer with a 4k resolution from Anycubic.

[@UncleJessy]

yeah that would be nice. But from what I've heard... no manufacturer makes screens like that in that small size but 🤷‍♂

[@OldSkullSoldier]

@@UncleJessy How big is the pixel? 320x240 LCDs of that size I recall to have like 120-130um dots.

[@DonsArtnGames]

I find the 320 x 240 a bit misleading... When compared to most non-Mono LCD printers, TinyMaker actually puts out a better resolution than Sonic Phrozen and Elegoo Mars printers... it just lacks the build volume. When I ran the resolution into their build volumes, the Phrozen and Mars came in at 0.12 mm per pixel and TinyMaker came in at 0.09 mm per pixel. Granted I am comparing the non 2k / 4k / 8k / etc versions of the printers... At 2k, the resolution for many of the printers I compared averaged about 0.05 mm per pixel.

[@Maronicam]

People who don't have a space for a true printer should not be printing with resin. You need a ventilated room for that.

[@IMthebiggestboy]

@@Maronicamnah, the cover and air purifier is fine to ventilate. If you really need it, you can have it print by a stovetop and turn the fumehood on

​@bmacthecat I mean....that's not a bad idea

[@toshikikarukawa8148]

If the screen had more resolution this printer would be perfect for jewelers, I know a guy that designs rings and prints them in resin to make a mold, and ends using a tiny fraction of the build plate on his elegoo mars.

[@andrewjeremy615]

yeah I have a huge elegoo Saturn 3 and just bought the 4 and its such overkill for what im using for with jewelry

[@reeepingk]

Honestly I agree. the ONLY reason I want a resin printer is to print... tiny parts. I don't NEED a huge build volume. I want something like this but with like a 2k screen. (That may be a bit much... but basically the same pixel density as a "normal" resin printer with a 4k or 8k screen.)

[@gamingwithjacobi8757]

That vat cover makes me wish larger printers like the elegoo saturn 4 ultra would make a cover like that as well, especially if the make it out of solid material so that if you plan on not printing anything for a while you can cover the vat so both dust, uv light and hair will not contaminate the resin

[@DismemberTheAlamo]

If only you had some kinda device that could make one of those...

[@Ni5ei]

​@@DismemberTheAlamo 😂😂😂

[@leedunning1825]

I like the concept since I'm only interested in printing gaming minis, have limited space, and would prefer a quiet machine, but I'd want nice sharp prints and more speed, so this will be a pass.

[@DonsArtnGames]

Tiny2 will be mono so it should speed up... but that's just wishful thinking

[@barulicksama3838]

[@JanProkop_honcka]

If you like your health, you need extra room or independently ventilated box and extra workplace for working with uncured minis.

[@liptojaj]

If you have limited space, do not get into resin 3d printing, it is quite bad for your health and should be in a separate well ventilated area from where you normally spend your time

[@Nukleari]

I watched like 5 minutes of the video and ordered one. I have an fdm printer and I always had problems printing really small parts but I wasn't sure if I would enjoy resin printing with all its hustles. I feel like this is perfect for me to try out resin printing and see if I like it, and it can do about 95% of what I am wanting to get out a resin printer anyways.

[@samhale5413]

I'll wait for the 12k version 😂

[@Whos_real]

Nah 16k

[@MrFirecasters]

Yeah the resolution is a joke, especially at that price

[@thirtythreeeyes8624]

​@@MrFirecastersWe really shouldn't compare screen resolution at different sizes since the pixel density changes. Micron should be the measurement used but, ya this is too low of resolution even at this small size screen

[@SaperPl1]

This seems like a great idea for a starting kit or a gift for someone that's not sure if he should get into it or not. With that said, my saturn S sits mostly idle as so far curing resin wasn't giving me the results I want and I fell back to FDM most of the times. But I can see this tiny thing for something like a D&D party where players choose their characters and they get printed on the go, assuming wash&cure will manage it properly in reasonable time.

[@DonsArtnGames]

This is an LCD screen, not mono, so it's pretty slow. UJ said that one of his prints took 5 hours... I'd start my print as soon as I board a plane and run it off my portable phone charger 😂

[@SkylerLinux]

Except like he's reviewed a cheaper $99 Resin 3D printer, that's got a bigger print volume. So like no this is absolutely terrible

[@kmoecub]

[@DonsArtnGames]

I guess I'm in the niche that says, "A LOT"... I have another portable FDM printer that I take around with me to show off it's abilities and such. Adding a portable resin that is super quick to unpack and pack up again makes for a very desirable item

Hey @Uncle Jessy . I LOVE your videos! However, I did take a SMALL issue with one thing. 4:40 I find those numbers to be a bit misleading... 320 x 240 does seem like a super low resolution, especially when you compare it to 2k, 4k, 8k and nth K resolutions. But if you break that down into their build volumes, then something interesting happens. 4k Mono LCD printers: apx 0.02 mm per pixel 2k Mono LCD printers: apx 0.05 mm per pixel "Standard" LCD printers (non-Mono): 0.12 mm per pixel TinyMaker's resolution: 0.09 mm per pixel That would put TinyMaker above typical LCD printers, such as the Sonic Phrozen, and non-Mono LCD Elegoo Mars 3D Printers. And since it is also a non-Mono LCD, those would be a better comparison for quality of prints.

I'd kind of like to get one making various silent blades for drones. That's going to likely need something with a 10" diagonal screen, which I may have already,

It''s an open source printer... they have already released the bill of materials if you want to get into it and tinker. I think they said the firmware will be opened to everyone once they dial in the "factory" specs

[@idahojake2296]

Oh wow! I am relieved to see they seem to be following through.

[@NefariousElasticity]

If they upped the resolution a bit to match the same density as a 4k screen, this would be really neat for people who make resin jewelry or one-of minis.

[@leobro6398]

I wish you used grey resin so the details are more visible!

[@UncleJessy]

Yeah me too. Unfortunately all I have on hand is rapid resin for fast printers which apparently doesnt work well on this. Going to order up some standard grey resin and test it out more

[@Tridonax]

You say its a early unit production. What is the point that gives you to tinymaker company? Do you give them feedback or do you think they will really optimize the printer?

[@UncleJessy]

At this point I’m not sure. Maybe more so on the firmware / settings side of things. They sent it out to a handful of folks

[@Tridonax]

@@UncleJessy thanks. Maybe they says that you give some feedback or something 😅. Because I know that they send out this „testunits“, but iam not shure if the tinymaker guys will optimize some part, like the screen.

[@DonsArtnGames]

​@Tridonax I've been following them. Yes, they are constantly tweaking the firmware and such. It's also open source, so if you want to, you can alter it yourself.

For easy simple Prints, these Printers are super Handy!

[@DonsArtnGames]

Don't you mean super Pinky? The printer looked pretty small in UJ's hands

[@jenniferpodgaetzvo1384]

i would love to see how the screen changes the print!

[@martysmarty1874]

I dont get it. Whats the use then for buying it if its so expensive and the quality is so bad? Or the purpose of creating such a small machine?

[@janineharris3601]

Omg I so want one. It is good for a matchbox diroma awesome. Can I het a starting kit. ❤. Or is it to late. I so want one❤. For a beginner is it for me and how can you get the objects to print it. Using a phone or computer only.

[@grinningtiki220]

Looks perfect for making push in snaps and clips for automotive restoration.

[@TonyAllen1988]

It's the tiny orange pallet for me

[@jamesnurgle6368]

resin 3d printers skills really measure resolution in different ways. pixel size or resolution per inch floor example.

[@frownmastr]

Would be the perfect thing for printing miniatures for tabletop gaming

[@Atomic-Purple-Guy]

I would love this for DND dice. And little parts for my gaming hand held.

[@TripodsGarage]

I am a pretty late backer, see mine late 2024 or early 2025 😂! Hopefully there will be a high res monochrome screen by then 👍

[@AlphaProto]

It's interesting. I've been interested in getting a 3-D printer for a while, but the amount of space they take up never appealed to me. I mostly want to make action figure parts and accessories. This seems about the right size for that.
