    This is only my second 3-D printer.

Once that was screwed on, the hardest part of setting up was getting the packing foam (good quality, not crumbly polystyrene!) out of the build chamber. The build platform is a satisfyingly weighty chunk of aluminium (don’t drop it!), anodised blue, with a solid metal knob to secure it to similarly-solid Z-carriage. The resin tank is also solid anodised aluminium, with a powerful steel clamping system to tension the FEP sheet. It really feels industrial quality.I had grand plans for my first print, but, sensibly, I decided to start with the example file that’s already on the included USB stick.It’s about a 5-hour build, so I left it running overnight.I came down in the morning to find, with nothing other than out-of-box setup, the cube lattice printed perfectly; no tuning or tweaking required!Since then, I’ve been excitedly downloading from Thingiverse and running STLs through the Photon’s basic, but adequate, and fast, slicer**. Not everything I’ve tried to print has come out- but I put that mainly down to my inexperience. The detail in the parts that have printed is outstanding. While I’m learning, I’m printing most models scaled down to just an inch or so long, and the detail they retain is unbelievable- details that I assume won’t print, do! The great thing with DLP printers is you can put as many parts as you like on the bed, and printing takes exactly the same amount of time, unlike FDM, or even SLA, with a scanned laser. This is great for practicing, as you can try the same part in many different ways, to learn the effect of orientation, and supports, and it takes no longer to print. And if one part fails to print correctly, it doesn’t mess up all the others!For really instant gratification you can print lithophanes- photographs converted to thicknesses of resin- which only take about 20 minutes.I’m really impressed with the quality of this printer, and with the quality of its output. Definitely a little gem.-----------------*For those who don’t know (as I didn’t a week ago!), DLP printers work by trapping a thin layer of resin between the Build Plate and a clear plastic (“FEP”) film at the bottom of a tank of resin. UV light from an LED shines up through an LCD shadowmask, which is displaying one slice of the object, and hardens the resin where it is illuminated, sticking it to the build plate. Then the tricky bit happens: the build plate, with the hardened resin attached, moves away from the plastic film, to which the resin is also slightly stuck…. The film stretches, then suddenly peels away from the hardened resin with a slight “snap”. The build plate, with its areas of hardened resin, then lowers back down, trapping a new layer of resin under it, and the process repeats, with the built part slowly emerging from the pool of liquid resin.Once the print is finished, the build plate moves right up, and surplus resin can be left to drip back into the tank. Then, wearing gloves, you remove the build plate from the machine, and carefully pry the built parts off it, into a bowl of (ideally 95%+) isopropyl alcohol to wash away the remaining uncured resin. Putting the finished model in the sun- or under a suitable UV lamp- finishes the curing process, hardening up the resin to full strength.**Slicing for DLP is inherently easier than for FDM, as it simply has to produce a bitmap of each layer, at the resolution of the mask LCD.

    Compared to the A8, the Photon is smaller, faster, neater, and more accurate; however, FDM and DLP are very different processes*, and the Photon deserves praise in its own right as a resin printer:

    -------------

    Pros:
    Machine is solidly built, weighty, with a quality feel
    Incredible resolution- can make tiny parts with accuracy
    Simple setup
    Minimal (one!) moving parts
    Multiple models on a build plate don’t add to the build time (unlike FDM)
    One failed model does not spoil the whole build (unlike FDM!)
    Small desktop footprint- neat and compact
    Simple Slicer- for Mac and Windows- with essentially only two variables to tune.
    Simple touchscreen interface

    Cons:
    As with all resin printers, it’s a bit smelly- but you’ll like the printed results enough to make a fume extract for it; I did, immediately after seeing the first test print!
    Smaller build area than FDM- tho adequate for the sorts of items it’s suited to making, and with a surprising amount of height (the Eiffel Tower beckons..!)
    Unless you’re building large objects, unlike FDM you don’t get to see the object being made- not really a con, as there’s no need to stay around looking over it!

    I can’t count the post-processing as a con; our production department leases a $100k+ SLA machine at work, and I see its models need exactly the same post processing!
    There is also a learning curve (I’m on it!) to design for resin printing- but that goes for any resin-based machine.

    5.0 out of 5 stars There is a learning curve but the prints are amazing
    Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2019
    Here are some facts: I received this printer completely assembled in padded box. There were no broken or missing items. There are included instructions (in English) and a USB stick with an example print and slicing software for both Mac and Windows. There are also links to a YouTube channel with instructional videos. I followed the instruction manual and the example print came out fine. I tried to make my own prints with the slicing software and had problems getting the prints to stick to the build platform. After five attempts (and five cleanups, releveling, etc.) I found out that if I hollowed out the model that it would stick to the build platform.

    Here are some opinions- I'm pretty impressed with the packaging and the delivery. I have another 3D printer (a filament kind) that only arrived with instructions in Chinese and no software. The YouTube videos and the instructions make it a lot easier to get started with this printer. However, resin/SLA/DLP printers like this are harder to use compared to a "regular" 3D printer that uses PLA filament. I don't recommend this unless you know you will persevere even after you get messy and frustrated after failing several prints in a row.

    The steep learning curve isn't a knock on this printer specifically. In fact, the included extras make it so that you can get started right away with almost no additional purchases- you do need to pick up some isopropyl alcohol for cleaning. The touch screen is easy to use, and isn't present on most competing resin printers in this price range. I opted to use the latest ChiTuBox software instead of the software included on the USB stick, but the included software will work fine- it's just rebranded ChiTu software anyway, but a slightly older version.

    The build quality of the printer is pretty good. No sharp edges or signs of poor construction. This is better than I expected considering my previous experience with 3D printers at a low price.

    I've included a few pictures of a print in action (an Eiffel tower model and 20mm cube for calibration), some finished prints, and the printer set up in a corner of my TV room. The printer is not very big, and the build volume is smaller than filament printers, but the print quality is amazing. You can see the 0.05mm layer lines, but they are very even and basically just give the prints a matte texture (you can supposedly polish the lines out).

    The included resin works well. At $30 for 500ml the price for Anycubic's resin is competitive with most other options on Amazon. You can try out other resins, but you certainly aren't getting ripped off if you stay within the brand. Other people have mentioned it, but there is a slight odor to the resin- some of you won't mind it, some of you will definitely want to set the printer up in a well ventilated area or garage.

    So overall, I'm pretty pleased with this printer. The print quality is way better than even a high-end filament printer. The price is pretty good. There is a lot of support on the internet. Make sure you're willing to waste some supplies while learning, and make sure you can afford the price of replacement FEP film and more resin. Other than that, this is a best buy for an affordable resin printer.
