Resin Printers for Scale Modeling - Comparison between Anycubic Photon and Elegoo Mars 2 Pro 

I got back in to armor model kits after like 10 years. This is very cool stuff. Got myself a Mars 2 Pro to go along with my FDM printers and can't wait to test this stuff for scale armor models.

I badly want one of these for printing details ....to correct some StuG III.... The mono combined with the thinner resin seems to work very well. But knowing small 4K is right around the corner makes me want to hold off a little bit longer before buying one of these. Thank you for the video. The tracks printing with holes is very impressive. That's better than most Friulmodel moldings now.

Nice work! Glad to see a local guy!

Adam can you please create a video guide for complete and utter 3D dummies and start it right from the very beginning taking us on a journey so that we can all copy from you. This would be sooo valuable to most of us who can build and create models but who have no clue where to start with this technology and who are also aware of the very steep learning curve especially if like you you are having to figure most of it out on your own. I for one really value your expertise when it comes to the historical accuracy of these components and if I could start at the very beginning on this new and exciting technology with someone who knows what they are doing I would most definitely jump in and start this process in my cave knowing that you were in the background developing the kit parts that I would be interested in using.

That was useful information so anyone who is interested in this new tec knows where to possibly start. As you know, i am a total noob when it comes to that, but maybe i can learn a bit and do stuff myself one day?

Guess I need to leave the 70s behind and get one of these things.

Excellent detailed review. I've had the same issue with bent barrel type l parts as you showed. I resolved the issue by printing the parts hollow and inserting K&S brass tube, or rod, after printing but before curing. This keeps the part straight, or at least straighter. In some cases, I've left the rod in as it doesn't show, in others I've pulled the tube out, shortened it, and glued it back in place for strength reasons. It does require a known inside diameter, but if your building your own geometry files, that's not much of an issue. If you try it let us know how it works.

Greetings Adam, great video, I am impressed with the results of the Mars Pro! I have been fiddling around with 3D printing on a Mars printer for a year, and I create several of my own stowage and upgrades, some of which I then sell on Ebay. If you are interested I would be willing to have a chat or an email exchange regarding some of the tips and tricks that I have found. For instance I have a set of working Panther tracks with almost no supports to clean up that could work well for your tiger tracks. No strings attached, if you are interested let me know!

Thanks for the comparison. Kind of makes Anycubic look like a bit of a clown show. Definitely makes the whole 3D printing thing seem a little intimidating... lots to learn!

Great video Adam super informative I would totally be down to buy “plans” digitally oh and first!!

Great video. I have just purchased my first resin printer and I am building a model car of what I used to have when I was 16. So my question is if I have a photo from a catalog can I use that image to duplicate on a cad program then print? If yes do you have any idea how to do that? What i want to duplicate is a set of rims. I haven't even printed anything as of yet and really could use some direction. Thank you .

Thank you for your video. I want buy the Photon S.

Cool viedeo but did you already test the resins on the opposing printer? I mean you say its probably all because of mono vs rbg but also say the resins are different ones.. when will you print with the same resin on both printers the same file?

I have a question awhile back you did break down on all of dragons kits for example orange box and premium kits i would like to re-watch it and help would be helpful thank you for your time greatly appreciated

Cool, I also designed some tiger tracks 🤣 But mine print fine well one out of 9 will

Hello, were did you get the stl files?

Please make more videos

Man you can be doing a video in 720p when part of the comparison is the details on the view. All smart phones have higher res than this

Ejerce dos you get the stl files?

Ejerce dos you get the stl goles?

Shapeways wants 10 dollars to ship a ship no bigger than my pinkie finger...No thanks.

I am a model builder myself but people who build exclusively german stuff are big YIKES

Bro buy a decent camera . Even a phone record better than this wtf

Ejerce dos you get the stl files?
