Just got this printer the other day. This video was extremely helpful in answering some of my questions. I do find for certain prints are taking much longer than on my Halot Mage Pro. Hoping this will change with software updates. Thanks for posting!
I love that the build plate isn't full of giant holes like the original. It makes it hard to print directly on the build plate for certain things. I wonder if you could put a magnetic flexible build plate on either of these printers?
Hi!! could you please share the dimensions of the box the printer came in ? does the pulse release module come separately packed? I intend to get this freight forwarded to Singapore, so the dimensions of the box and weight of the package will really help with cost planning! Much appreciated.
Actually, yes. Click, print, done. With the integration of the hardware, software and media and the in-print dynamic calibration, it's the most Bambu like resin printer there is.
Hello, I would like to ask if you have tested using the pulse stripping mold machine, but I don’t know if I need to purchase the pulse module together. Please help with the analysis, thank you. Please help with the analysis, thank you.
16:40 'I used fuzzing at level 2 that was enough to erase the lines' if you look at a low angle top surface close enough you sill still see the layer lines. On the last printer they calimed 3dAA but lied, on this one they don't even bother to claim that. 3daa is possible on consumer printers, I've made a prototype slicer that does it very well, but they don't know how unfortunatly.
you can only slice with their software, idk if you can export to stl but you won't be able to slice for the printer in anything else, if you could then you could use your own settings and they don't want that
@@ElevatedSystems that would be great but is it though more accurate? would be great it somebody could do a proper test, print some identical models on both and measure dimensional precision, warping if any, detail level and even more exotic aspects like material properties and so on.
the s4u is terrible quality, just test the uv uniformity, many times worse than advertised. Also unlike the reflex it doesn't really auto level, it just has springs and a seonsor, usually level is off by 0.4mm corner to corner and if the overall z height is off instead of just releveling or setting a z height offset you have to message an elegoo technician, have them send you a g code file to print that will find out your current settings, and then they will send you a new g code file with adjusted sensor settings that is hopefully closer. What a joke! Seriously, compared to crap like elegoo printers the price for this is unbelieveably low, saying that is the downside is ridiculous, the down side is the way it's so locked down, the price is a bargin and they are selling it so cheap so they can make their money back on the resin.
my only issue is how absurdly expensive the resin is. i don't mind the proprietary resins. but 45 for their cheapest is actually ridiculous. completely out of consideration for any average hobbyist. until they can lower the resin price and adjust settings its just a business machine.
@@ElevatedSystems i mean that still doesn't change the other facts of the matter. still on the higher end for resin. and that being their cheapest is still a bit upsetting.
Honestly. I'd never buy from a company that throws on $200 to the price just for the sake of it when they can very clearly sell it for $799 and make enough profit. Tells me a lot about the company and what they think of their customers.
So you never buy from any company or retailer that offers sales? That must be difficult. Or do you just not understand the business 101 theory behind promotional pricing? Promotional pricing is a sales strategy that involves 'temporarily' lowering prices to attract customers and increase revenue but can't be sustained for an extended period without erroding profit margin.
@@ElevatedSystems I never said I don't buy from companies who offer sales. I said I'd never buy from a company that offer an incentive to act like their Guinea pigs by offering you $200 less to sell you machines with issues then bump up the price after you've found them all.
@@ElevatedSystems It's what it implied. When you can sell machines cheap then add $200 you can afford to sell them cheap. They do that so us lab rats get the ones with issues that would usually end up on a test bench somewhere. You're a tech youtuber who is seriously asking what issues tech has when it's first released? jesus ... remind me to never listen to your advice then.
What you implied is you have no understanding of the simple business model of promotional pricing. I asked what were the issues with this product specifically, not tech in general. HeyGears has one of the most solid reps in the professional medical printer space and has brought that development to the consumer space. Uike most companies they spend many millions of dollars in R&D and don't need consumer "Guinea Pigs". Considering that and the level of tech in this printer it's probably under priced at $1k. The Z Axis, sensors and LCD screen HeyGears use cost almost as much as the raw cost of every component in a typical mid range 3D printer. I call out companies when they cut corners, but I do the same for those who don't.
A machine with its absolutely closed ecosystem without many must have features. I dont see why anyone would buy this over gktwo (which is cheaper and has a good heater to print in freezing temperatures and allows to.use whatever you like), unless heygears allow (at least) to use custom settings for different resins. Its a bambu printer done incorrectly. And fume extraction? That is just horrid
It’s a 700 printer no and ifs or buts … they can sell it at that but what company doesn’t want high ass profits … the great thing is that next year most of the “affordable “ brands will have close to those same features for around 450-500 bucks .. all chitubox Or lychee have to do is create rock solid profiles for resins and printers you’re set … but right now they are the only ones doing it this easy for the end user and charge a premium for it because they can.. there’s no competition right now
My Uniformatiom GK2 is a solid $700 printer. The best I've reviewed up till now. The Reflex RS is solidly worth at least $200 more than it. I'd pay $100+ just for the auto support algorithm and the time and effort it saves in post processing.
so all elegoos, crealities, sonics and so on from next year will have multiple sensors to monitor temperature, plate pressure and dynamically adjust the print settings during the print? Oh and chitubox will have really good support algorithms? And all this for half the price or less vs the Reflex?! WOW, what a year for 3D printing that will be !!!!
I spend so much time helping people fix issues on cheap printers, especially elegoos, their engineers simply do not know or care about how to make a reliable printer, the issues on each printer are endless, each saturn since the first has had more and more issues, it's so awful. Enjoy your cheap crap if you can get it working but there are a million printers at that price point, only a few at the 500-1000 range so why complain. The only issue is how closed it is, not the price unless you get to the resin. "brands will have close to those same features for around 450-500 buck" a specific example would be auto leveling, 2 generations of anycubics and 1 of elegoos have claimed auto leveling now but neither actually auto level, it's just springs that don't lock each corner so it doesn't really auto level and a sensor to guess where to place the z height which rarely works, eg on the s4u average level is off by 0.4mm corner to corner which cannot be fixed, and if the overall z height is off you can fix it but not by simply setting a z offset by usual, no you have to contact an elegoo technician, have them send you g code to print, then you send them the result and they send you a g code change to the sensor sensitivity which should get it closer but not perfect like a z height offset usually does. The reflex however does actually lock each corner so it's actaully auto leveling and also lets you manually level. anycubic and elegoo are A not competant enough to do this and B this requires more hardware to do so the price goes up.
