Finally they've listened! tinyurl.com/2f8dmnu6 The M5S had its controversies but the M5S Pro puts them to rest with an excellent SELF-LEVELLING PLATE with manual adjustment. And the icing on the cake is a wonder and very effective heater. Don't get me wrong, there's some silly mistakes here, but the amazing promise of this 3D Resin Printer makes it all worthwhile.

VOGman, I just wanted to take a minute to tell you I think you're the best in-depth 3D printer reviewer on KZfaq. Hello from Oregon, USA!

@MrKali0stro 3 ай бұрын

Hi! Thanks for the review. As for the problems of detecting "fingerprint residues" on a new film, a clean table and a new resin, they are related to the temperature of the resin that you poured before the first printing. I mainly print with viscous industrial resins, and I often come across the fact that when the resin temperature is below the recommended one, the viscosity of the resin increases. Due to the increased viscosity of the resin, its hydraulic resistance to the table increases when it is lowered. At this moment, the pressure sensor built into the printer detects this excessive resistance, and thinks that it has encountered the remnants of an old print. Try to heat the resin above +24 C first, and then start printing with the control function enabled.

@MemelordSupreme 4 ай бұрын

I'm thinking a fan duct that could clip onto the heater to direct the heat directly to the vat's edge might be a pretty good idea. I'm glad these are looking like they're built pretty well. I have one on the way and so far I like what I'm seeing! Definitely going to be interesting to see the difference between the M5s and my Saturn S.

@xRaptorScreamx 4 ай бұрын

The heater unit not being standalone is also good because it can be bought and used with other printers. I have the M5s, and i do hope they're gonna sell it separately. Making it better is another thing. Deeping the plate while the heater is doing it's thing, will make the resin and the build plate similar temps. If the plate is in the air while heating, the resin might heat faster than the plate, and when the plate goes in, it will decrease the temp of the resin fast

Great review Geoff! Very informative, and delivered with a wonderful sense of humour! Makes me laugh every time. I can see why you like the printer. But I actually facepalmed myself when the heater turns out to be a last minute "chuck one in the box - that'll shut him up!" solution. Elegoo. You could have put yourselves a mile ahead in the race with a heater that integrates properly with the printer. Not to mention firmware that actually does what you claim it will do... I don't think Elegoo has raised the bar much with this effort. Except, that it looks like it is a very good resin printer and produces very good prints. Anyhoo... well done Geoff. Hopefully Elegoo will listen very closely to your recommendations. Or maybe Phrozen will... or Anycubic.... Frankly, I think all of these companies should be paying you big $$$ as a consultant to their R&D departments! 😁

Thanks for the review. I just got one of these and no problems so far. Have found support with Anycubic outstanding and have reply to all my emails so far. I'm base in New Zealand and have found getting supplies of resin hard from the Anycubic website. I have to pick destination of 'other' and too many show as sold out. I also after a replacment vat for this printer and also cannot source, hopefully they will improve on this. Thanks for the other resin you use, I have found a supplier directed in New Zealand to buy 5KG from - nice If your looking for a resin printer, I would recommend this one. Happy printing.

Hello friend, I would love to buy this heater for my printer but cannot find the size anywhere... Is it possible to get the measurements to see if fits mine? Greetings from Portugal.

@mjmeans7983 4 ай бұрын

The thing I notice about dipping the plate. This increases the surface area of the resin exposed to hot air circulation by the resin coating the plate. It would help keep the plate from getting too hot since it's closer to hotter air. And as the resin on the plate gets hotter and less viscous it drips down heating the resin in the vat more efficiently than only air convection to the surface of the vat. The printer might come to a stable temp even faster if it dips the plate several times during the heating process.

@vogman 4 ай бұрын

It's an interesting thought. My issue isn't the dipping... it's more the fast lift afterwards.

Thank you very much for the review. This is my first time buying a resin printer, but I'm torn between Phrozen Mighty 8k and Anycubic M5s Pro. I made inferences from Phrozen material quality and the work of users I saw on the internet. Phrozen seems to be the first in terms of quality. But as I said, I have no experience with 3D printers. I'm stuck between these two printers. I wonder which of the two brands has better support, both spare parts and technical support. Spare parts and malfunctions will not upset me. Thanks

@miguellopez3392 4 ай бұрын

6:30 this would be less of a problem if the heater pointed its fan directly up like other resin chamber heaters, but with those you have to turn the temperature higher to compensate for most of the hot air that gets stuck at the top.

@swdw973 4 ай бұрын

Dipping the plate would make sense if it was left in the resin, as it would hear up the plate and resin to the same temperature. The air blowing across a suspended plate is warmer than the overall camber temp and will raise the plate above the resin, which will change the resin temp when it's dipped into the vat.

Hook and loop tape? For the heater? I found my pre monochrome screen printer produced better prints than monochrome screens, when will they make prints with less noticeable layer lines?

@vogman 4 ай бұрын

Layer lines typically occur when with temperature issues and poorly dialled in resin settings. With those sorted, it's then a case of adjusting AA to a point where the details are good but the layer lines are smoothed. I find dropping to 0.03 makes a massive difference. You can go lower, but the extra time involved tends to create issues with resin separating over time, etc. In my pics here, you'll see layer lines, but it's VERY hard to see them with the naked eye 😊

So I have a problem with something. Mid-range to me means something that is priced in the middle offering features between the low end and high end. I consider this class of printer to be the mid-size or medium format because that is what these 10-inch printers are. I was interested in this printer but unless they fix the firmware I am just going to wait until they sell the heater by itself or continue to use my DIY heater. What makes me especially annoyed is that this could have been solved by actually testing the printer or making the fan bottom or top fire. My first printer was an Anycubic but I feel like lately they have been dropping the ball. Like I love the RERF. I think the fact they are adding a heater at this price point is nice. But there are so many little things that make me wonder why. There is a wifi but you can't send a print from your computer only from your phone. The resin is messy because the heater blows it around. They have uniformity issues. Their small format printers still top out at 34-micron xy resolution. Then while I like the idea of auto bed leveling and smart force feedback detection if it doesn't work what's the point. It would be good if you could change the RERF time difference so you can dial it in better. It's sad because the RERF made me go with Anycubic and since no one else has implemented it I would prefer to use Anycubic. As a complete beginner, it gave me the confidence to just print. But If someone asked me today if I would buy another Anycubic printer my answer would probably be no.

About the resolution and pixel size: if you look at the average size of a pixel (X+Y)/2, the difference between 12K and 14K with these stretched pixels screen is only 0.7 micron. Does it have an impact on prints? Not at all. True square pixels with a true 12K or 14K would be better, but only to avoid even more using AA.

For anyone interested. The reason the resin is dripping on the inside of the lid, is due to static electricity. The plastic wrapping from the factory charges the plastic lid when it's peeled away. You can actually see the resin drips curving towards it. To eliminate this, wipe the lid down, inside and out, with a dryer sheet.

@vogman 4 ай бұрын

I wish that was true, but it's not. Look carefully at the lid and you'll see this is NOT the first time it's been used. Static from the wrapping is a thing, I agree, but that was days before this footage was taken... and several wipe downs too. The curving of the resin is probably due to its thick, gloopy nature (it's cold). It's a little snotty, trying to stay whole. The heater is also creating air current of course. Had the plate been lower, none of this would be an issue. Let's hope that firmware fix comes soon. 😁

Yes, on all these printers is seems the software guys have never used their own software to make a print with the many bugs and weird behavior that we experience as users.

It is worrying. It's such a simple thing to try your own product.

For 50$ is a photon s worth it?

just pour in the resin after the buildplate is lifted.

But then the resin detection alert would prevent printing 😁

I won't get the printer until the end of February. We'll see how he does.

I'm pretty sure I received scrapers with mine. I've noticed no one provided clippers any more though 😁

That heater is a disappointment, to put it mildly.

@vogman 4 ай бұрын

The printer is excellent and with a Velcro (hook & eye) base, it could be moved between different printers. I would like to have seen it plug into the UI, giving more control, but I'm guessing Anycubic will be selling this individually, making that problematic.

In conclusion only buy the heater separately and that´s it All the other things are unnecessary.

Links to products? They seem to be working for me...

It seemed they were "down" for a while - it would take you to something like paid.tips.transfer and never go from there. Happened on a few different clicks for me. Glad it's working again. @@vogman

I have a Mono=X somewhere which was great until I destroyed the screen (not worth replacing at the price). I have a Chiron FDM which is temperamental but useable and I still have an i3 Mega S for functional prototyping which is virtually bullet proof… never fails. Bit of a mixed bag for me.

Stop putting all your socials and everything all over the screen. List them in the endcard like everyone else. It's just annoying and distracting.

I typically do this where there's nothing interesting going on. It breaks up a dull stretch of footage. Trust me, I never cover up important facts / info with vanity.

@Dark0Storm 2 ай бұрын

Ideally the plate should stay in the resin to ensure it gets heated to the same temperature (given the heater blasts air at the resin vat). Otherwise you risk dumping a large cooler metal heat sink straight in to your nicely warmed resin, potentially dropping its temp below optimal levels. You really don't want it just above the vat as it'll block the path for hot air, getting hot itself whilst not being able to transfer that heat to the resin.
