Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K Mono DLP Resin 3d Printer
The Mini 4K Mono is a resin DLP 3d printer that has roughly the same size of print area as the other offerings, like Mars or Photon. What it improves is that the X/Y resolution (which comes from the LCD screen resolution) is 4K rather than 2K. That, and the screen is a monochrome one, rather than a color one. This reduces heat, so you don’t have to replace it nearly as often.

Phrozen Sonic Mighty 4K Mono DLP Resin 3d Printer
This is the larger cousin of the Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K Mono. Like it’s little cousin, it’s a 4K design with a mono screen. It’s an affordable price for a larger print bed machine. Print plate is 20 x 12.5 x 22cm.

Elegoo Mars 2 DLP Resin 3d Printer
This is the improved offering from Elegoo. It boasts more reliability and a mono screen, meaning that you can get your layer exposure down to 2-3 seconds, saving tons of time. Again, 25 microns z-height for excellent print quality.

Creality Ender 3 FDM Filament Printer
Many people start with this as an “entry” level printer. I think it’s great for producing the parts I want for tabletop gaming (like building models). It is simple to operate, but adding a replacement metal print bed will aid you (see FDM Filament Printer ItemsOpens in a new tab.)

Creality CR-10 FDM Filament Printer
For larger prints, this printer is essentially a sized-up Ender 3. It is simple, reliable and upgradable.
