Start Your 3D Resin Printer Journey with the GEEETECH Alkaid 3D Printer UNDER £100 

Like video

I can’t believe that it’s under £100.00 what an amazing piece of kit

I gave in and ordered one, had it arrive yesterday. Can't wait to start using it.

@@scottwhite1503what’s the verdict?

Shipping isn't that high if it is in stock in your territory. In the UK, while it was in stock it was £8

Yep. It’s cos they are out of stock in EU and GB atm

@@WorldofWayneUK thanks for the clarification Wayne. I'll keep checking the website :)

Just a quick update: you need to select the right country in the upper left box "Ship to" and the EU warehouse will appear! I've just ordered my first 3d resin printer, together with the wash and cure machine gwc02. Thanks!

Yep I removed before curing. About 2 hours in sunshine

@@WorldofWayneUK thank you

I always use Thingiverse

You live on a boat? That sounds cool

@@akumaking1 It's very peaceful.

@@akumaking1 I live on 57ft narrowboat named 'Whole in the Water'. She's about 203 years old and in great condition. I've recently repainted the cabin and the hull. It's engine was fitted in 1913 and runs like new. It's a slow pace of life and a really nice community of people. The canals are literally the countries longest streets where the houses move about all the time.

@@milanondrak5564 where are you located?

@@akumaking1 At the moment I'm in Wolverhampton but I'm on a constant cruising license so I can only stay in one place for 14 days maximum.

The resin cost me £22 per kg. Slightly more expensive then filament but not a lot in it to be honest

No. All the setup is done on machine. Only the Chitubox program is done on the PC

Thanks, Wayne, for the update.

Resin can cost around £22 per kg

And your models are not the exactly "the same". Could be the resin, or the printer. Don't know. Besides the issues, I already told. The "Bigger" Printer has no layer separation and has a matt finish, while the Geeetech has a very glossy finish, which many don't like. Could be the result of overexposure

Actually the fee sheet had a leak. I had to replace it and then get a razor to the screen I made another video since this one printing the Enterprise bridge and it worked perfectly

It’s not normally that high. They are just out of stock in the UK warehouse atm

@@WorldofWayneUK Any idea when the UK Warehouse will have more stock ?

@@adm65260 no but if you email them they are pretty quick at responding

Be advised that they have a habit of putting the non-sale price on their shipping invoice on the box, so be prepared for a potentialy nasty customs bill to release the package to you. Me and two other people I know that bought one have been stung that way.

Did you change the shipping location at the top of the web page?

@@WorldofWayneUK - Yes I did. Can't believe the cost of shipping is so much. May have to look for one in Canada that doesn't cost as much to ship. Thanks for the information

Just keep it there. It will be fine

I just use what’s available on Amazon

Thingiverse has a whole bunch of free stl models

The workshop is ventilated

Because I’m doing that in a seperate video

Definitely. Better make another video for that

@@WorldofWayneUK awesome idea

I had no problems. Make sure you change the shipping country at the top of the weboage

@@WorldofWayneUK I filled in UK and my Birmingham post code, used both links and it came up we cant deliver to this country.. I have sent them an email. No reply yet..

I downloaded the bust from Thingiverse. As for resin just do a search for 3D Printing resin on Amazon. Any of those will work

@@WorldofWayneUK legend thank you Wayne as always. 🙏

Yep no probs at all

Hard as rock

There is a mom and max line in the tray

@@WorldofWayneUKhow did you know about my mom and Max? Those bloody neighbours love a gossip…

@@jbaldwin1970 lol 😂 I mean min and max

I’m doing a second video on that. I wouldn’t recommend taking off supports before curing. It destroys the print at the cut line. Also I keep on the bed while cleaning so I’m not in contact with the isopropyl but I guess we all do it different ways

@@WorldofWayneUK indeed we all have our ways of doing things. However in time with seeing and doing you’ll notice things and ways of doing things I’ve been resin printing for a couple of years now at least It’s great and the detail of the higher end machines is beautiful If you are happy with your prints and the way you do it then that’s your call I’ve been there too You learn and understand so much as you go Removing supports before curing minimises the work load needed to clean a print In the supports you can also adjust the penetration side of the tip angles etc All helps not forgetting the thickness of the support Auto generated are okay and can be useful, learning how and where they are needed is even better Also then lowers the use of then, the amount of wasted resin work loads all round. Allow your model to drip for a bit in the vat. Tilt the build plate after printing and leave inside. Pre wash in ipa. Then move to the main ipa wash. Saves the ipa as well So many tips and skills. It’s a wonderful tool and lots of best practices and tips to get You’ll find your way I’m sure But be warned, you may soon want more machines 😂
