I've bought before and AnyCubic ships from the states so you will get this within a week. They don't charge tax in CA so likely tax free for almost anyone.

Free shipping if you order just the printer. If you buy extra parts and accessories they will charge $15 flat rate.

Obviously it doesn't take critical thinking to know you can't print an 8in vase with a build plate that is as small as whats on the Zero or even Mono, but as some have previously mentioned it kills for miniatures and multi-part models.

The thing people don't get looking outward in when comparing to an FDM is supports. Supports in resin printers can do what only FDM could ever dream of - stacking.

I can set a Photon Zero to print 15 minitures at once and go to sleep. Drop the entire build plate into a bucket of water and in 3 minutes that pile of lines and solids falls apart almost like butter. My Ender 3 V2 can't touch it for this use case.

And while it easily doesn't apply to all its disingenuous to compare a tool meant for other prints against one meant for this.

This thread... Guys, it's $100 bucks for the zero. Of course don't buy this for big prints, but man, if you are looking to print minis or small pieces, this is a great deal.

Thanks for the tips. I'll take my low standards to the dollar store and save $80

Was anyone here able to find a good use for Zero? Like I can think of printing additional/substitute minifigs for board games occasionally, but other than that I can't see any way to use it constantly or make money out of it. Thoughts?

Far too limiting for the hassle. I can print small things pretty well with my Adventurer 3 quickly. Yeah it's not smooth but the simplicity of printing the old way vs dealing with resin, curing and cleanup just does not make it worth it for me.

The way I look at it per dollar...

Resin/Traditional

1. Quality: Resin
2. Speed: Traditional (if you add in curing for Resin)
3. Cost: Traditional
4. Hassle: Traditional

So yes we all want the great looks of resin but right now the ability to pop in a spool of filament for $20 and zero cleanup or preparation for a print just makes resin not ready for prime time.

I think resin is about 2-3 years behind but once it catches up with maybe some form of built in curing (don't ask me how LOL) and then resin will take over.

I Agree! 20 dollar esun pla FTW, but if you want those miniatures...I mean you can tune and calibrate and get close to the smoothness of resin...

Anyone complaining about small build size doesn't understand the point of these, I mean even if it could print 8"x8" you would spend a fortune on resin for large prints. It's meant for small things where you want 10x the detail compared to normal 3d printers, for example I've printed some insanely detailed earrings that you wouldn't even attempt in a normal 3d printer.

Jewelry making. Load up translucent resin, dye it whatever color you want and print out 10 pop culture earrings, 6 bracelets or highly sought after items like key caps for mechanical keyboards.

I use a Mono for multi part pieces and for models that have eyes or special parts designed separately from the start, I use the Zero for those. Nice to have a bust with the eyes milky white right off the bat with no paint required. Or trippy armor on a soldier.

Simple answer, no. Complex answer is it depends.
IMO That's the same answer for FDM if using anything other than PLA. It can be dangerous (deadly) to birds if the PTFE (bowden) tube gets too hot.
Here's a reddit comment from 4 years ago about TPU on an FDM printer still pretty much applies:



At the end of the day, you have to do your own legwork on it. ​

Wow very scary stuff and i was gonna buy one not anymore. I do customs and this would of been a dream come true . If only i had a garage or outside work area i could use.

Can I replicate any object (with in the size limitations) with a 3D printer? Do they come with the software to obtain the 3D image? TIA

Quote from GooglePlusS :
Do you have a room with a window that you can leave open? If so, you might be able to safely use one paired with water washable resin. Water washable resin has a lot less fumes than standard resin, so you should be able to put the printer on a table next to an open window, and put a fan blowing outwards in the windowsill. Then when your prints are done, use regular safety precautions regarding handling your uncured print, and storing the water you used to wash it with.
I do but my cat is derp he might hang out there since he is a window cat. Thanks for info through i guess its not safe enough for pet and after getting t C last year my lungs are shot still. I never did all this stuff on my customs i kit bashed and molding small things. Is making a cast of a head and replicating safer?

I'm well adjusted to FDM printing, but so far all I see SLA being used for is model making. Is there any other use for SLA than the detail that model making requires? Seems like FDM is better in all aspects than that, especially including the toxic chemicals and cleanup.

Elegoo was sold out two days ago... seems like its a non-issue if you can't buy one.

I'm not understanding what you are asking. Are you trying to figure out how to use a Ferrari for off roading instead of a Jeep? Trying to figure out if you can mod a Segway scooter to go on the highway?

Resin printers of this size are for miniatures and smaller busts. Jewelry making and small toys, trinkets, things with tiny details. FDM where you need larger prints with less fine detail and/or functional prints for parts that will see physical use.

Trying to compare them like its a competition is bad form.

Anyone who is serious about 3D printing has both because they understand the use cases for both.

I mean you pretend like anything, but PLA or PLA+ is fume and toxin free in FDM.... so you seem to have some bias to ignore realities of pros vs cons anyways. You don't seem genuine is your desire to understand why these are good.

Thanks OP. In for one. Wanted to test out a resin printer, but didn't want to shell out the money. I will now have this to along with my Prusa MKII that has done me well for a long time now.

FDM and SLA do not compete with one another, you need to have both.
