[@cilantrof190]

Once this machine is fine tuned. It looks perfect for Ttrpg players, or even dms, who dont have the true space for a printer but still wants to print their own minis

[@BreezyBrickyard]

"What is this? A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read if they can't even fit inside the building?"

[@lanzer22]

As someone named Derek I approve of this comment.

[@christopherbaez7282]

Hahahahaha

[@FiglioBastardo]

😂

[@FiglioBastardo]

Watch out for the self replicating franken ants!

[@Hypersky343]

Was that a zoolander reference? 😭

[@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!

[@alexbarker975]

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.

[@getbent57]

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

[@zeke7100]

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.

[@adamdraeger2605]

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.

[@MrTomaton2]

@@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

[@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...

[@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 😂

[@UncleJessy]

😂

[@Realfoxz_]

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

[@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.)

[@nebuchadnezzar47]

2:47 interesting "micro USB-port" LMAO

[@UncleJessy]

hahaha I didnt even catch that in my editing. MICRO SD CARD READER 😂

[@AndrewSink]

I am SO STOKED for mine to arrive. I can’t wait to print all the tiny little things!

[@UncleJessy]

Heck yeah! Same here. Tiny carrying case, tiny was & cure.... tiny prints!

[@DonsArtnGames]

How about making a tiny 3D printed forklift for this?

[@UncleJessy]

@@DonsArtnGames oooh i love that idea. Going to look up some models and print one up

[@RestlessSoul45]

so im curious now, why would soneone buy this thing for this price when you can get printers tripple the valume for just double the price, not to mention the Printspeed...

[@DonsArtnGames]

@@RestlessSoul45 Sometimes space and build volume are just not needed. One of my main uses for TM is to make cosplay jewelry and trinkets. I don't have the luxury to dedicate a lot of space for small prints and using my larger printers creates a bit more hassle than it's worth (cleaning and rebottling, etc)

[@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.

[@ozfunghi]

Geeetech Alkaid costs 99 bucks, lol, it has a mono 2k screen.

[@DonsArtnGames]

@@ozfunghi Ohhh... I haven't bought Geeetech in a while... Thanks for the look up

[@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]

Another $40-50 buys a much better (and larger) printer.

[@poodlescone9700]

This looks like a good product for space limited homes and occasional printing without using a large vat of resin.

[@dillonharnden-shea57]

This is perfect for printing miniatures to paint! I’ve been wanting to get into printing but it was always too big to make sense. This is awesome!

[@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]

Elegoo mars.

[@JanProkop_honcka]

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

[@ResinForge]

So cool… I’m dying to see the wash and cure station in action with the final model 😂

[@UncleJessy]

agreed! Fingers crossed its not just a bucket of IPA haha

[@ResinForge]

@@UncleJessy 😂😂

[@SocksAndPuppets]

This looks like it could hit it big in the tabletop scene, given it's a great size for printing minis. If only it was a little easier to use.

[@anthonyflynn2662]

this would be good to print warhammer sized figures for say like 1 or 2 prints saves on using a shed load of resin for a few

[@Zamugustar]

This would be great to just set on a table at an event where you are selling minis and other resin printed things.

[@UncleJessy]

Exactly! my plan is to preprint an object, leave it on the buildplate, empty the vat, then have it on display to show how prints are made vs having it printing with resin at a show/potentially spill etc

[@nevzilla]

This is actually perfect for me, I just didn't mesh with my full sized units as I usually just want to print one off doll or wargaming items and this seems like a cute way to do that with out needing to be like what else do I need on this build plate to justify printing for hours for one small item.

[@galangel8287]

i have seen their crowd fundraising campaign, and i will wait for one that is faster, with better resolution and wifi. the machine is beautiful and good luck to them, but for now its just a nice thing to put on a shelf.

[@kvhidersine1857]

As someone who is constantly moving this is really cool!

[@UncleJessy]

It also can run off of a portable battery pack which is wild.

[@lucasw3473]

@@UncleJessy That's super cool

[@terribleart6269]

I had been looking at this for ages! It's ADORABLE!!! Thank you for the pre-review ha! Hoping there is a better screen made for this little printer in the future!

[@Edramon53]

I like the idea, wonder if in future you could have this form factor, but use the kind of small but ultra-high res screens designed for a VR headset.

[@3DJapan]

The size and shape makes me think of the tabletop arcade machines we had in the late 80s.

[@RBallarddesigns]

I kinda wish they would have integrated the pallet as part of the overall design. Would have been cool. Cutle little thing though.

[@UncleJessy]

ohhhh going to see if I can use it as a stand for the printer

[@ReZoxGaming]

OMG...It even has a mini pallet for IT'S SOOOOO CUTE 😍😍😍😍😍

[@worriedaboutthis262]

Looking into 3d printers for the first time and came across your channel. Once I saw this it was too cute to pass up, especially as a pretty complete set to start with and so compact for our small space. Great to dip a toe in and see if they are for us. So excited to receive it when they ship. 😆

[@gbresaleking]

Looks great for making scale parts for 1/18 and 1/24 scale micro crawlers

[@realDanissl]

I am glad you got yours! I cannot wait for mine to arrive, I forgot to grab the carry case so I am planning on adding it during the survey! Thanks for the video!

[@mitchsterling3266]

This thing is so sophisticated once opened , I'm blown away.

[@PisaniProductions]

imagine rolling up to play dnd, and the DM pulls out 4 of these to print your custom pieces XD

[@hazonku]

It's super cute. Love the cute little plastic pallet packaging. Definitely more of a novelty that something for any practical printing but it is SUPER adorable. I like the idea of it hanging out on a table at trade events or in artist galleries. I might have to get one & hook it up to my Twitch chat as a channel reward. Let my community members use their channel points to pick their own model & run a small print I can just toss into a bubble wrap envelope to send them.

[@UncleJessy]

yeah it certainly has potential for showing and telling. I'm planning on printing something in advance. Leaving it on the buildplate, emptying the vat and having it on display to show people how resin printing works for makerfaires etc

[@802Garage]

Best bet is to increase the screen resolution and speed in the future. I can see this being popular. Imagine if everyone brings one to a DnD session and prints a model live during the game, hahaha. Every time you find a cool item, print it up!

[@lilietto1]

fun idea but you couldn't with resin, it really isn't possible to print without ample ventilation.

🤣 I'm pretty sure the Mars 4 Ultra could fit the entire machine

[@DonsArtnGames]

Actually you will be able to soon... they released parts of the original CAD so people could start making initial designs and then tweak it when the final CAD design is established. The BoM has already been released for the functional parts

[@Ariannus]

It's cute but for the price I couldn't justify it over a Elegoo Mars or similar sized printer. The portability idea is kind of neat, but how often are you going to be resin printing on the go.

[@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

[@baval5]

Especially at those print times, 5 hours for a 28mm model is not "on the go" print times

[@baval5]

@@DonsArtnGames quick to unpack, not quick to print. A 5 hour print time isnt going to wow too many people for 1 infantry model.

[@DonsArtnGames]

@@baval5 It can run on batteries and I see it as more of a conceptual demo. In the case of my jewelry, I don't need a lot of height, so I do not need a ton of time to produce, but I do like the portability.

So, this could be really useful for people who design miniatures or small objects and want a quick little test-print station right nest to the workstation, instead of over in the print room. Or at conventions to run off customs or made to order designs. The low res would hurt it for a lot of uses though, if they packed like a 4K screen into this lil guy it would probably be the finest resolution resin printer on the market.
