A continuation trying to find the best jewellery 3d printer for the consumer market based on print quality, print consistency, and value per print. Had to get something with an 8K screen into the mix to see what all the hype was about. We tested the Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K and paired it with spoiler one of the best detail resins out there Bluecast XFilagree (full review coming April 12th for this resin).

Is it consistent enough to pring fligree of 0.25mm with 100% or even 90% of platform ? Will metal weights of every print will be same ?

For me, it's all about that xy resoution, and how accurately it can print at that resolution. at 22 mictons,( that's basically 1 thousandth of an inch in american) it's possible to print extremely accuract mechanicallly perfect objects, then cast them to get exactly what you've designed with perfect tolerances. It's a wonder for prototyping, and mass production of mechanical toys that need accuracy :)

@@RomanoffInt layer thickness isn't right, any printer, even ones from 5 years ago, can do 10 micron layers or above/below that, standard is 50 micron due to the XY resolution been around 50 microns for a while. Nowadays 20 micron layers would be the correct layer height if you want max resolution. Did you mean xy resolution?

I think it might be more fair to compare the Elegoo Saturn 2 8K to maybe the Phronzen Sonic Mighty 8K. For stand alone prints we will continue using the Sonic Mini, but you're right for larger things like our print in place trees its not enough space (still have our Peopoly Forge for that).

Thank you so much and as always grate videos, very good! Cheers!
@ClearMindJewellery
@ClearMindJewellery Год назад
We've basically stoped using Power Resin as they are top of the market on price and generally mid level for product performance. Bluecast XOne for example is $6 cheaper (depending on reseller) and has better casting results. Sorry we can't offer print setting for their resin on this printer.

We’ve had very few castable resins that have straight failed, if used under the right conditions. Would recommend taking a look at our videos on burnout and investment choices then you can pretty much use any resin we’ve reviewed that fits your project and budget.

How to measure the quantity of the resin required? If we dump the amount of resin and it took less than dumped resin, can we reuse the left one?
@ClearMindJewellery
@ClearMindJewellery Год назад
Your slicer will let you know how much resin to use once the object is sliced. Some printers will also let you know how much to fill the vat based on that information. Yes you can reuse resin that is left over if you strain it as they're may be pieces of support material in the resin.

does anyone think its worth jumping straight into a b9 creations printer or getting a less expensive printer and learning the ropes.
@ClearMindJewellery
@ClearMindJewellery Год назад
The answer will depend on if you want to build a business or if you are looking to do this part time. If you don't have a lot of down time and you need the support and the machine to work immediately for high end jewellery, higher end printers often have that support built into the ecosystem. I know Asiga is like that and, although I haven't experienced it, I've been told B9 is similar. If you are quick to learn and have some start up time a lot of mid level printers will do very similar results, they just don't have all the bells and whistles, or as helpful support, so you have to be able to figure it out.

Would you recommend buying 1 big printer, or have multiple smallers ones? Lets say 1 Mighty 8k vs 2 Mini 8k, especially for jewelry printing. Thanks!
@vik7368
@vik7368 Год назад
You really don't need a big printer for jewelry. Even the smallest plate can knock out 5 to 10 rings at a time easily. Unless you print in bulk for other clients, you're fine. And if you're printing as a service for jewelers, you probably need a much better printer anyway - this won't be competitive.
@borislemke
@borislemke Год назад
@@vik7368 I’m considering from the perspective of efficiency and productivity. Would it be better to have multiple printers, so you can work on one batch of prints while the other is printing for example. Or if one big printer is better as you can print more batches/different prints at the same time
@vik7368
@vik7368 Год назад
@Boris Lemke I guess it all depends on what you want to use it for. I work for myself and do mostly custom orders. I have a resin printer that has buildplate the size of a business card, and I can put up to 10 engagement rings on it at a time, and they will print overnight. One ring will print in 1.5 hours on average. I have NEVER filled an entire plate at once. If you use it for yourself, one printer is more than enough. Even if you intend to provide printing as a service, you will be fine with one printer until you get a significant client base. Bit if you do it a service, you will compete with a lot of people who have much better equipment, so in that case I would go for something that either prints in wax, or a higher end resin printer that will run you from 3000 on a lower end to about 10,000 to 20,000.
@ClearMindJewellery
@ClearMindJewellery Год назад
We buy big printers as we print our trees in place when we have 200-300 piece orders. If you’re not up to that production 1-2 smaller printers that you can rotate through will be sufficient. You don’t need a wax specific printer like a solidscape. We went down that road early on and Bluecast XOne on a high resolution printer will serve you better unless you have the high end casting machine and high karat gold engagement ring orders.

We are not personally interested in the Anycubic D2 at this time with the approx 52 micron pixel size. The 2000hr projector life is enticing though, vs average LCD screen life. BlueCast did take a look at the D1, and with those results we’re not really sold. If we have an opportunity to speak with Anycubic we will see what we can do.

If you are referring to the 3D Printer, the Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K is a good unit for jewellery 3D printing. It's what we have been recommending for the past few months but I think they are phasing it out in favour of the Phrozen Sonic Mini 8KS (the green lidded version). This printer is actually one of the cheaper units I would recommend for 3D printing jewellery.

I'd love to say my SM8K turned out as flawless as yours, but unfortunately it didn't. Z-rod came out stuck, had to loose it manually without any customer support rather than Phrozen webpage saying basically "DIY, can't be that hard". Also, screws are terribly poor quality, 2 of the buildplate and one on the vat got loose on the head at first try, had to buy replacements. Finally, the biggest issue I ffound on this printer: the buildplate is held by more screws in tiny planar holes, where resin or IPA (if you submerge it in a W&C machine) can be stored. This can contaminate your resin, especially if you're changing brands (from standard resin to ST Cast and then to X-One, in my case), so a full cleaning by unscrewing the plate from the top is a must. Not even my Mars 3 have given me these issues, but besides that, both printers are my tools for jewelry; I print on the Mars what doesn't fit on the SM8K or those objects that don't need too much detail.. Haven't needed a Saturn 2 or a Mighty 8K so far for my business.

I've purchased one I intended to use for metal casting patterns. I have not been able to make it work, the Aqua Gray 8K resin won't adhere to the plate... every print I've attempted has failed. I have repeatedly gone through the Z-Axis alignment process very carefully but no luck. I also tried the WhamBam build plate and got nowhere with it, either. Extremely disappointed with it. It's been a waste of money, time, and effort for me.
