I was surfing the web today and the targeted marketing sent me to this:

Did you notice it’s a 3D resin printer that comes with a sealed UV cover to CURE STUFF THRU UV? 😃

Seems like a good price for what it comes with, cheaper than Formlabs solution :?

I’m curious if anyone in here has it or can provide any reviews.

No info on resolution or build volume in the ad. Dubious.

This is not a laser SLA printer, rather it’s a direct LCD. It uses a 5" LCD with a 1920 x 1080 resolution with UV backlight. So the maximum theoretical build area would be about 110mm x 60mm, probably less.

For $500 I’d rather get the Wanhao Duplicator 7. It has a slightly larger build area (120mm x 68mm), and a higher resolution LCD (2560 x 1440). Sure, it doesn’t have a built in cure station, but then again, I’d trade that for the larger build and higher resolution.

Well, I found it interesting as a cheaper uv cure station with the 3d printing part being a bonus…

(forgot to mention I already own the Form2)
