Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8K LCD Resin 3D Printer, Monochrome/Mono LCD Screen, Mass-Produce 3D Printed Models with Ultra-high 8K Resolution, L21.8 x W12.3 x H23.5 Printing Volume

Good quality machine

I’ve had my Phrozen mini 8k for years now. The print detail is amazing, I have no complaints about that, but of course you trade detail for size or the other way around. That being said, I found I’m not excited to clean prints, so after about a year of cutting into smaller pieces, I went out and bought a Mighty 8k in order to make bigger models with less prints. And now a year after that I’m looking to buy a mega 8K… I’ve had a few issues with failed prints when using any other resin than the Phrozen brand, but I’m pretty sure that has more to do with my ability to dial in my printers settings. It just doesn’t come easy to me. I find every thing is solid about this printer. Good construction, tough, easy to use… that being said I would recommend a screen protector and magnetic build plate just to make cleaning the prints a little less tedious. Great printer for a great price.

I did a lot of research before I made this purchase. The camera does not work, but then why would you put a camera on this tool? so not a deal breaker. This is a AWSOME printer. I upgraded to this printer from a longer orange 10. The prints adhere to the plate so strongly that I have trouble removing them. This is not a bad thing, just spray some alcohol on the plate and the prints come off. on the orange 10 I had a hard time getting the prints to stick at all. The z lines are almost invisible once you get the machine dialed in. The price is a little high, but you get what you pay for, and I do not mind spending a little more money for quality, and I got what I paid for with this machine. I would give this item more stars if I could!!

Okay, we all know the camera isn't 100% (limited functionality with the new software build). But i bought this printer for the decent size and 8k lcd. And it doesn't disappoint. I'm a beginner, especially at resin printing, and got it set up and running using the included instructions. After that I needed help from the community, fortunately there is a good one on Facebook, trying to print in my garage in the winter (resing needs longer UV exposure time in the cold). So still a learning curve, but a really nice printer.

Large size but also very fine details, I’m using for jewelry and very happy from the result

When I first acquired this printer, things seemed to work perfectly. I tend to do lots of research on products, especially pricey ones before I purchase them. I have done 3d printing before for some time so it isn't native to me. I like to believe I am technologically competent as most of my friends come to me for a lot of their tech issues and I eventually manage to solve their problems. After 3d printing for a while, I decided to upgrade printers, and after seeing plenty of good reviews online as well as some online individuals whom I watch on the internet use these printers, I was looking forward to purchasing this printer. After deciding the amount I wanted to splurge on a printer and what type of printer I wanted, I was bouncing between this, the Elegoo Saturn 2, and an Anycubic Photon Mono X 6k. I of course chose this printer - the Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8k. When the printer came, it was easy to set up according to what was suggested online and on their website. I got it calibrated, everything was prepared in a manner to ensure the printer is in the best printing environment I can make with the highest chances of success for printing. Even with all this work and effort, printers still have a chance of failure - that is just a fact in 3d printing, but if you are competent then you should have much more success than failure. The printer worked fine for a short while, I had excellent prints with incredible detail. The printer itself didn't have many fancy bells and whistles, the main thing people said online about it is that "it just works" and it did for a short time. Sadly, given just a few days, the printer suddenly began to fail and would not create a single successful print. I spent a lot of my personal time and money attempting to get it to print properly, the main issue being a lack of adhesion to the build plate which can be caused by many factors and is normally easily fixed. However, nothing I did was making any improvement, everything I read online on reliable forums and credible sights was telling me to do the things I had already done. Just to be sure I didn't mess up, I did it again and ensured I did it perfectly. After a lot of time spent with the printer, I had given up and decided to contact customer service. I gave them the checklist of everything I did. I had high hopes for their customer service. From what I heard Anycubic practically ghosts their customers, Elegoo is above and beyond, but Phrozen seemed to not be anything splendid, but at least somewhat helpful from what I had heard. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, yet after a few weeks of communicating with customer service who I am pretty sure weren't reading my messages (as they'd tell me to do the things I already did and told them I had done) and no progress being made, I had decided to return the printer. I could give them the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe I had a bad printer from a faulty batch. Perhaps it was something on my end yet after all the help from customer service, no improvements were made regardless. I wasn't treated poorly, but it appeared the customer service only reads keywords and doesn't bother reading your messages thoroughly and the wait time can be a big pain - as I'd get a message once every three days from them. They offered me a discount code to buy more resin due to having wasted plenty trying to cultivate a successful print, but after asking for the code or some method to acquire the discount, they avoided the questions and sent more suggestions about how to fix the printer - which is quite poor. When you promise a customer something you should be sure to deliver. The prints either did not come out at all and stuck to the nfep - or when they were on the build plate they were incredibly warped and incomplete. I have searched online for what causes this problem and tried to solve it yet to no avail even with customer service. Sadly, it seems the people that they sponsor or online pages that are big reviewers get special treatment (as always) and their real consumers get the bare minimum. Still better than Anycubics customer service from what I hear. I have returned this printer and am instead buying an Elegoo Saturn 2. I have yet to use it as I am waiting for it to get here. I heard Elegoos customer service goes above and beyond, going out of its way to do extra work. They also have more reviews (with a 4.5 stars average), many people seem to prefer Elegoo over any other brand, and most of the people I know use Elegoo and they have nothing but nice things to say about it.
