A few weeks ago I bought a resin 3D print. Is a Anycubic photon, in the summer Aliexpress sales.
It was a bit of an impulse, did not know the machine before but is very famous in internet as an starters machine. It costed around 300 euros (after that the made the sale permanent and can still found for that price even in amazon)
I already have a filament printer but fall short in detail for anything but scenery, so I was not sure what I was going to find.
But I loved the machine, see some examples. All the models are free files from Thingiverse and similar pages.
A Lucius pattern warhound titan for adeptus titanicus. One of the reason I wanted to get a printer. Printed in 0.03 mm layers, if you pay attention you can see layer lines in a few areas but the overall results is amazing for me (for a machine of this cost). The model is not very detailed in some regions because was designed for the size of the old epic model and this one is scaled almost double size.
After that I printed some Battefleet Gothic pieces and models
Gun batteries for imperial battle cruiser (main body is a chinese recast)
Space stations
Nova frigates for space manines. Is the same model but printed in 2 different scales, because first one was too big compared with the SM cruisers
After that I started with some geeker things
Alien plants, to be used as dangerous fungus in Necro
Some weapons bits, an Infinity rifle and a Delaque flechette pistol. Details are not perfect but the machine can work for this kind of scale
Dead space marker. 14cm, 16 hours to print.... But very smooth surfaces. I also have copies a bit smaller
The machine is not perfect, still tuning it but I am loving it. Is a very popular model so there are a lot of groups and pages for support. This is my first contact with resin printer. The same company just released an new model (the Photon-S) with apparently better mechanical parts but is expesiver (450+ euro) (and some people speak very well and other are founding error typical of a new model that still need a but of tuning). Also hear very good opinion of the Elegoo mars (even cheaper than mine) and the Epax X1 (but 500+ euro).
Resin cost about 40-70 euro/liter. the above pictures are only a selection of the thing I made, and even with a few initial error I am around half the way of my first bottle.
