SparkMaker SLA 3D printer (234€): www.gearbest.com/3d-printers-...
Coupon(234€): "GBSparkMaker"
FEP spare part: rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...
I've seen some negative feedback about this printer but I'm more than satisfied with this product. For this price??? It prints very good and it has high details that you could never get with FDM printers.

I´ve some questions regarding 3D printers, and I hope someone in here could help me out Can you print your own transformer or action figures with ANY 3D printer or do you need an especific type of printer? What´s the best material to use if you want solid toys: ABS or PLA? How solid is going to be the toy? Like Hasbro´s solid, like a Lego´s brick or is going to be like a really cheap plastic? Do you need to sand the pieces or they´re already smooth as soon as they leave the print? What´s the best software to use to create toys for 3D printing? How durable is going to be the toy? Is going to break as soon as it hits the floor? And what´s the best way to deal with tolerance´s issues?

Prime/spraypaint the prints so the voxels get covered and make the details pop! :D (Which also protects the cured resin from further UV light causing material degradation from overcuring. Otherwise your print will change colour and get brittle over time, depending on UV light exposure (e.g. sunlight). )

I was honestly looking for a laser sla 3d printer, not a dlp sla, I’d rather a gyro controlled uv curing laser than a lcd for a smoother and higher precision finish rather than speed... really frustrates me that lcd manufacturers do not tell you there is an lcd and try to sell it like a peopoly moai or formlab printer

Translate with googletranslator: I also bought a Sparkmaker and have only negative experiences with it. He prints the first 5mm, then glues the entire FEP the size of the LCD screen. Right from the start. - Changing slicer parameters did not help - Changing FEP didn't help - of course everything was cleaned again and again My conclusion: thrown out MONEY, no matter how cheap the Sparkmaker currently is offered. Not to be forgotten is that the LCD display and UV lighting, according to the manual, have an aging rate of 2 months (with frequent use). So it is nothing with a 12/24 month guarantee if you use the device! My question to you, do you still have your Sparkmaker and are you still doing 3D printing with it?

Diacylate resin like HDDA, or Triacylate resin like TMPTA cost around $4 to $7 per kilogram. Type I BAPO photoinitiator is about $16/pound (about 3.5 cents per pound). BAPO's peak absorption is at 368nm, with a usable response at 405nm. Typical concentration is 2% and will add around 70 cents. Sudan I dye is very cheap, completing the mixture. In contrast, type 2 Camphorquinone is very costly, and requires an anime co-initiator. It has the important advantage, however, of a peak absorption well into the visible at 470nm. This simplifies the projection system. This is by far the oldest of 3D printing technologies, and still the best. High resolution, accurate, and dirt cheap, what more could you want? Now all the industry needs to do is to tool up for a mass production DLP at the BAPO sensitive wavelength.

Really hard to choose between this and the way bigger kossel delta.. wish there was a cheap but large resin printer, then it would be much easier to choose. Can't wait to see how the printers evolve in next 5 years, with the current pace they will be basic household items in no time, putting many old school mass producers in tight spot because why go shopping some third world crap when you can simply print it at home and even choose the looks of it!

i have no idea why they call this is a SLA printer, no laser at all. it can be called as a LCD printer, because it has a LCD screen to cover above the UV light

I thought the same. But it turns that not all SLA printers are laser-SLA. But when talking about SLA till now they were talking directly about laser-SLA. But the Stereolithography coud be made by direct UV light as well and using a mask for the shape. See more here: formlabs.com/blog/3d-printing-technology-comparison-sla-dlp/

I bought one of these to compliment my existing Monoprice Maker Select filament printer(which I have had for 3 years and pushed well past the limit of what it should be capable of), and it's been nothing but a nightmate. After 3 days, 90% of my prints have been pancaked against the FEP film layer instead of adhering to the build plate. Cleaning failed prints out of the printer actively damages the film layer, necessitating an expensive replacement. Avoid resin printers at all costs.

I've bought one and it was not able to give a single print. The LED was not working out of the box, the lead screws were crooked, the nut was badly machined and the tank was leaky, which destroyed the circuitboard when resin got onto it. Unless you are prepared to lose $250 on this, do NOT get it. Stick to the anycubic photon or wanhao duplicator.

There is virtually no aftermarket services for the English-speaking community. And there is NO warranty for the product. So if it does not work do not expect any returns. You are better off without the printer. It was developed by a team of Chinese, who pushed the product quickly with little QC.
