That printer requires you to be always connected to internet to even slice a file?! lol, would never touch that machine. If the company ever goes bust or their servers shut down. Your printer just stops working. Do NOT BUY this piece of junk.
I've been looking at these and also some of the cheaper wooden ones on amazon, been using a similar system for a couple decades now. My only issue is the ones I use are just slightly larger, so none of my current trays would fit. I would highly recommend this type of case to anybody that isn't already invested in a system
Cheap to make, sturdy and magnetic capable, but also the sliding in and out just like a drawer. Just happens to work just like the cheap cookie sheets from the dollar store. Which work btw. I use AC repair Sheets and cut them to the size I need, and just Glue them inside storage boxes. Great video though IMO.
Storing minis is one of my biggest issues. I have painted minis everywhere in the house, and it's driving my family nuts 😂. It's just not worth the costs to buy expensive storage methods
This is so exciting. Even though I'm far from possibly getting this anytime soon, I have always dreamed of a plug and play resin printer. As always. Thank you for sharing.
Good thing about those cheap craft paints its cheap to test what brands near you work well. The hobby lobby brand "Crafters collection" has been very good to me for .50.
I think the "plug and play" aspect is extremely important for these printers. While it's true that I can buy an extremely good resin printer for half the price, the promise of less print failures due to a wide variety of possible issues is enough to make me want to pay far more.
For someone who is looking to get started with resin, I can’t find another machine I want to buy. This seems to take most of the headaches out of the equation, and if they have honed in on their resin so much and I don’t have to worry about quality, then I don’t mind the proprietary aspect of the resin itself.
Good question, I should have clarified more in the video. Both Reflexes have replaced my GK2. The only reason I am keeping my GK2 is so that I can test resin that isn't proprietary to HeyGears. But if I wasn't RU-vidr that is sent resin to test and review, I wouldn't keep the GK2.
If this game had a standee version it could all have fit inside the core box with room to spare. Maybe someday they'll offer that at a lower price for people interested in the gameplay but who don't like minis.
@@gaminggeek241 I think affordability is something more designers should consider. Not everyone has hundreds of dollars to spend on board games, much less ONE GAME they might not enjoy. I also care a lot about compactness and storage space for games, so a standee version would help with that issue as well.

Anyone having issues with the toughness parts getting soft weeks later? I think its absorbing water, I am going to try and clear coat it and see if it helps.
@@gaminggeek241 cheeper you get in EU is 40€ and I don’t even know how good could be for table top miniatures (in terms of flexibility/impact resistance)
I'm thinking of grabbing the RS and might need the heating vat as well. Is the heating vat combo with the Pulsing Release Module PRM worth considering? Or save by just getting the heating vat separately. I hear the PRM can be quite noisy, and that's a main concern of mine, but I haven't seen any videos showcasing the noise level.
For further context, the printer would be in a nearby room and not occupied. Is the pulsing release module clearly audible through a closed door and room next door?
I think the PRM isn't worth the steep price tag. Yes, you get up to 20% faster prints and can get thinner supports, but I think the prints without the PRM look great anyway. But the sound is not that loud (like an aquarium pump) and it doesn't bother me.
Reason to buy original Reflex instead of new Reflex RS: 12 supported resins instead of only 5, including: casting wax, ABS, high temperature resistance, and mixable colors.
@@Shinyellen I haven't seen an explanation, but the Reflex RS uses a 405 nm wavelength light source while the Reflex uses a 385 nm wavelength light source. Maybe that has something to do with it. By the way, I should have said "One reason to buy....".

Have your tested the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra? It's half the price. Curious what you think of it. I have been using it and the quality with 8k resin is amazing.
I haven't had a chance but a number of my Patreon supporters are really happy with it. If you stick to one brand of resin and get your settings dialed in, you do save a bunch of money with a traditional printer. You are paying for not needing to do any of the settings with the HeyGears. (This is what the Bambu machines did with filament printing where you don't need to fine tune your machine to get consistent prints).
@@gaminggeek241 As an owner of a Bambu X1C I can attest to how much better life is without having to constantly meddle with the machine to get past endless print failures.
Yes, I know it's all relative. I did say in the video that it is still expensive but better than $1,400. The Bambu X1 is over $1K, which is expensive for a filament printer but many bought it due to being plug and play.
800 is about the cost of a Uniformation GK2 these days and the increase in quality you get in that printer from a mars or a photon is worth it for those desiring a more "premium" experience. The build plate setup of the GK2 alone makes life easier, let alone the vat design and the way the heater heats from the bottom instead of the sides of the vat.
For the money. The elegoo Saturn 4 ultra is the best resin printer I've ever used, and heaters are a gimmick. I've printed outside in the snow, and my prints actually turned out even more crisp.
I'm not sure about that myself. Heaters have been the difference between endless failed prints and much higher success rates for me. Even strapping a heated band around the vat of my Mars4 DLP has vastly improved the success rates of my prints. If it's a matter of skill and dialing in settings, I'd rather just pay money to make things "work" than waste another season trying to achieve results similar to yours printing even at 60 Fahrenheit (likely in vain).
Yes, I did test the resin in my GKTwo and the settings are close to but not exactly the same as Funcrecol miniature resin. I know some other RU-vidrs did find 3rd party resins that work with the Reflex but I've never tried it.
