Poll: Printer Size by Volume (Patreon)

Greetings all patrons.

Since resin printing is the focus of this page, I figured that now, more than ever, would be a good time to poll what machines the patrons here are using.

The goal here is to see just how many of you are limited by the print volume of the machine you own, as I have received many comments and messages in the past asking that large models (e.g. The Hematic Quenchseekers, Gran’d Chun’gus Ones, Nomadic Titans, etc.) are too large and need to be divided into progressively smaller and smaller pieces to adhere to the volume limits of something on the smaller scale (i.e. The Elegoo Mars (1, 1 Pro, 2, and 2 Pro) or the Anycubic Photon (1, S, Mono))

To easily separate the machines into categories, there are 3 classifications:

Resin-Entry – This is the smallest resin printer category. Relatively inexpensive compared to the 2 proceeding categories. This includes:

Anycubic

• o Photon
• o Photon S
• o Photon Mono
• o Photon Ultra
• o Photon M3

Elegoo

• o Mars
• o Mars Pro
• o Mars 2
• o Mars 2 Pro
• o Mars 3
• o Mars 3 Pro

Phrozen

• o Sonic Mini 4K
• o Sonic Mini 8K

Creality

• o Halot One
• o Halot One Pro
• o Halot One Plus

EPAX

• o X1

Resin-Large – This category provides a significant increase to print volume. The added real-estate can sometimes be 2x or even 3x the volume of the Resin-Entry category. This includes:

Anycubic

• o Photon Mono X
• o Photon Mono X 6K
• o Photon M3 Plus

Elegoo

• o Saturn 4K
• o Saturn S 4K
• o Saturn 2 8K

Phrozen

• o Sonic Mighty 4K
• o Sonic Mighty 8K

EPAX

• o E10 4K
• o E10 5K
• o E10 8K

Resin-XLarge – This is the largest category of resin printer (sometimes to a ridiculous degree). Printing miniatures on these is not an issue, but their volumes are often so large you could easily print multiple large statues or figurines. This includes:

Elegoo

• o Jupiter 6K

Phrozen

• o Sonic MEGA 8K
• o Transform

EPAX

• o X133
• o X156

Let me know if any of you have a brand I missed. I’ll add it to the list. If you have multiple printers, make sure the option you choose is for the largest one you have.
