What do you guys think about the ANYCUBIC Resin 3D Printer @$429 (this model printer),
VS the Ender 3 pro at common slickdeals-esque sale prices?

(I don't have access to microcenter though, so maybe don't use microcenter pickup only prices in the comparison)

They have cleaning and curing stations that make the clean up pretty easy... I guess it would also be less sanding than an fdm printer if you care about that. Depends on what you're printing I guess. But tough to get any small and detailed stuff out of fdm like you can with resin. Maybe I'm use to it but I don't think the cleanup is bad.

here's one of them. there's cheaper 2 in 1 ones as well.

They're almost 2 different tools, one being resin and one fdm. It really depends on what you plan to print... small detailed stuff, go with a resin printer like this... bigger stuff that doesn't need as much detail go with ender 3. I thunk fdm has more options on different filaments than there are resins. But with the newer DLP resin printers coming out that are affordable for home use, it might open the doors to more resins.

You can also go with something like the Elegoo Mars 2 pro that would be closer to $200 if you want to dip your toes into resin printing without a big investment.

I regret missing the Kickstarter on that as well. Hopefully it'll get to that price again.

I sure hope so 🙏 haha

Good posts and help here in other posts. Always cool to talk 3d printing, one of my loves lol, especially on a site like Slickdeals. Unexpected.

I have two Mono Xs among other resin and FDM machines.

First, the screen needs a screen protector, as the topmost layer is the polarizing film. Any leak will result in tedious cleanup of cured resin on a very fragile thin film. Most tear the fn attempting to remove cured resin. Replacement screens are $100-200 each. You've been warned.

Anti-Aliasing has been an issue since day one. Many promises have been given by reps from Anycubic, but none have come to fruition. Support has been rather abysmal outside of the community on FB.

The machines themselves print relatively well. Smooth rounded edges will show aliasing, but textured surfaces will print nice and clean.

Resin will eat the knobs, so keep them clean. A simple wipe with a paper towel and IPA sorts them out nicely.

Unlike other printers, you can control the UV Strength as well as the duration. There is a balance to be found, but on both of my machines I've found 60% and about 2 seconds to be sufficient for most opaque resin formulations.


At this price it's a steal, though you can often find them for $300 or so used.

Wash and Cure stations are helpful, but not necessary. What is necessary is a sound plan to deal with the fumes. Resin is toxic, so this is not a bedroom printer. No onboard air filtration, and it wouldn't matter...as soon as you lift the cover it's released.

Join the Mono X users group for more information or ask here and I'll be happy to reply.

If anyone is looking for an entry-level FDM 3d printer. The Anycubic Mega SE is only $139 after coupon code NY30. I bought mine last week and took 1hr to assemble and level to printing the test owl print.

If you are late to the party like I was, this is partially expired. The coupon to make it $429 is done, that was a one-day deal. Instead, there is now a coupon to make it $489 before taxes, which is still less, but $60 more than the lightning deal that was offered.

Still $429 at Anycubic which was actually cheaper anyway as tax is included in the price Wink.

It would likely be scooter parts, like fenders, and battery mounts, and foot deck on scooter (the batteries often go in the thicker decks), and so on. From small shims on the wheel, to entire foot deck level extensions

And also non-scooter stuff

I'd probably go with an fdm printer like one of the Ender 3 models for stuff like that. I think fdm do a little better job on functional parts since there's more options on filament and larger print volume. Resin is better for things like busts, figures, Miniatures, etc. Things that are small and have a lot of detail. But there are some bigger resin printers as well they're just kind of expensive.

A little after the fact but I received it quickly from this deal and immediately made prints that blow my mind. I've dabbled in FDM before and this was so easy by comparison (a little messier and smellier).

First print was excellent, and after a weekend of tweaking in chitubox, I can get about 100-150 micron levels of detail. Totally thrilled. I might need to replace the bottom sheet after a dozen prints or so, but that's partly my fault for being new to resin printing.

I rigged a curing chamber out of cardboard, foil and a high power uvBeast flashlight. Works great.
