Tiny Resin 3D Printer - TinyMaker 

As someone named Derek I approve of this comment.

Hahahahaha

😂

Watch out for the self replicating franken ants!

Was that a zoolander reference? 😭

I didn't know what Gunpla meant, read it as GunPLA and thought it was about 3D-printed pew-pews 😅

That is...precisely the reason I bought it, haha!

exactly in this target market. but feels like it needs a higher resolution screen.

Pretty niche that

3d printing custom parts for gunpla has gotten big over the past couple of years alone. Even before the pandemic hit, it has been on a rise and companies like anubis has been selling resin 3d printed parts for gunpla since at least 2020 or earlier than that.

It's only 40 bucks less than a normal resin 3D printer. For the limitations you place on your prints, it's definitely not worth it. This is seems like a niche thing to have just because.

I want one for the party trick of pulling it out on a dnd weekend trip, just to print that unexpected goblin friend that our party kidnapped or a baby owlbear our ranger insists on looking for after we killed it's parents. With the carrying case and mini curing station it is fully contained and so easy to bring along.

@@Zhinoi pretty obvious you're not supposed to get this if you have the space for a normal one

Generally, I just use my PLA 3D printer, but one thing I'd like to print is game miniatures. They do not print well with PLA. This would be perfect to fit the gap if they can increase the quality of the prints.

Seems aimed at kids and resin printers and children seem like a bad combo

I know right?! Totally adds to the cuteness of it

I was annoyed by the pallet when they first announced it. I thought, "What a waste! You could have used the money to improve other areas of the printer..." But you know what? It's kinda grown on me. Too too adorable. I kinda want to 3D print a forklift now 😅

@@DonsArtnGameshow much do you think that plastic pallet costs? I dont think putting that money elsewhere would do anything

@@LarsBakhuis It's not the cost of the pallets themselves that was a concern, but the time and costs of machining the molds for it and such. Earlier in development, they had trouble getting the wash and cure to integrate the mixing bar into the casing. I thought the money would have been better spent developing a better design for the mold and case.

Something tells me they 3d print them for like 4 cents and took maybe 3 seconds to think of and 2 minutes to model

yeah that would be nice. But from what I've heard... no manufacturer makes screens like that in that small size but 🤷‍♂

@@UncleJessy How big is the pixel? 320x240 LCDs of that size I recall to have like 120-130um dots.

I find the 320 x 240 a bit misleading... When compared to most non-Mono LCD printers, TinyMaker actually puts out a better resolution than Sonic Phrozen and Elegoo Mars printers... it just lacks the build volume. When I ran the resolution into their build volumes, the Phrozen and Mars came in at 0.12 mm per pixel and TinyMaker came in at 0.09 mm per pixel. Granted I am comparing the non 2k / 4k / 8k / etc versions of the printers... At 2k, the resolution for many of the printers I compared averaged about 0.05 mm per pixel.

Geeetech Alkaid costs 99 bucks, lol, it has a mono 2k screen.

@@ozfunghi Ohhh... I haven't bought Geeetech in a while... Thanks for the look up

If only you had some kinda device that could make one of those...

😂

Nah 16k

Yeah the resolution is a joke, especially at that price

​@@MrFirecastersWe really shouldn't compare screen resolution at different sizes since the pixel density changes. Micron should be the measurement used but, ya this is too low of resolution even at this small size screen

yeah I have a huge elegoo Saturn 3 and just bought the 4 and its such overkill for what im using for with jewelry

Honestly I agree. the ONLY reason I want a resin printer is to print... tiny parts. I don't NEED a huge build volume. I want something like this but with like a 2k screen. (That may be a bit much... but basically the same pixel density as a "normal" resin printer with a 4k or 8k screen.)

hahaha I didnt even catch that in my editing. MICRO SD CARD READER 😂

Heck yeah! Same here. Tiny carrying case, tiny was & cure.... tiny prints!

How about making a tiny 3D printed forklift for this?

@@DonsArtnGames oooh i love that idea. Going to look up some models and print one up

so im curious now, why would soneone buy this thing for this price when you can get printers tripple the valume for just double the price, not to mention the Printspeed...

@@RestlessSoul45 Sometimes space and build volume are just not needed. One of my main uses for TM is to make cosplay jewelry and trinkets. I don't have the luxury to dedicate a lot of space for small prints and using my larger printers creates a bit more hassle than it's worth (cleaning and rebottling, etc)

fun idea but you couldn't with resin, it really isn't possible to print without ample ventilation.

@@lilietto1 Well they could put them all in the garage, hahaha. Hopefully more non-toxic resins become widely available and affordable.

@@lilietto1 isn´t safe but it´s possible

As a scale modeller this would be a perfect size

​@lilietto1 at this size, it would be nearly zero effort building a sealed and filter enclosure to hold even a handful of these printers. 🤷

Tiny2 will be mono so it should speed up... but that's just wishful thinking

Elegoo mars.

If you like your health, you need extra room or independently ventilated box and extra workplace for working with uncured minis.

This is an LCD screen, not mono, so it's pretty slow. UJ said that one of his prints took 5 hours... I'd start my print as soon as I board a plane and run it off my portable phone charger 😂

Except like he's reviewed a cheaper $99 Resin 3D printer, that's got a bigger print volume. So like no this is absolutely terrible

Another $40-50 buys a much better (and larger) printer.

agreed! Fingers crossed its not just a bucket of IPA haha

@@UncleJessy 😂😂

Exactly! my plan is to preprint an object, leave it on the buildplate, empty the vat, then have it on display to show how prints are made vs having it printing with resin at a show/potentially spill etc

ohhhh going to see if I can use it as a stand for the printer

yeah it certainly has potential for showing and telling. I'm planning on printing something in advance. Leaving it on the buildplate, emptying the vat and having it on display to show people how resin printing works for makerfaires etc

It also can run off of a portable battery pack which is wild.

@@UncleJessy That's super cool

yeah I cant wait for my double order to arrive with all the extra goodies.

Why waste your money on something that is going to give you rubbish results when you can buy a REAL printer for a few dollars more. You would grow out of this is a couple of weeks maximum and those weeks will be full of pain and poor results

Yeah I would still recommend an older Mars or Photon as a first printer. Anything Mono screen over something like this. But still pretty friggin fun

I guess I'm in the niche that says, "A LOT"... I have another portable FDM printer that I take around with me to show off it's abilities and such. Adding a portable resin that is super quick to unpack and pack up again makes for a very desirable item

Especially at those print times, 5 hours for a 28mm model is not "on the go" print times

@@DonsArtnGames quick to unpack, not quick to print. A 5 hour print time isnt going to wow too many people for 1 infantry model.

@@baval5 It can run on batteries and I see it as more of a conceptual demo. In the case of my jewelry, I don't need a lot of height, so I do not need a ton of time to produce, but I do like the portability. High Speed Lost Resin will be my material of choice during these times. Other High Speed Resins can take care of my other small projects.

@@DonsArtnGames fair enough

A mini mega magneto XD

🤣 I'm pretty sure the Mars 4 Ultra could fit the entire machine

Actually you will be able to soon... they released parts of the original CAD so people could start making initial designs and then tweak it when the final CAD design is established. The BoM has already been released for the functional parts

will be a fun little machine

Make sure you read all about the dangers of resin. It’s much more serious than people expect.

@@jaredf6205 but not as bad as many would lead you to believe... Simply put, just be careful about how you handle it.

😂... runs to make a tiktok

Bust it open!

Don't you mean super Pinky? The printer looked pretty small in UJ's hands

Nothing wrong with that at all

What makes it not worth it to you? I'm not knocking or trolling, but I want to try and understand your perspective...

@@DonsArtnGames print volume for 1, print speeds reason 2, realistic usages of the printer itself. Sure this is a perfect fit for someone, but i'm being realistic that it's just another 3d resin printer. If i would to have this printer, it would be used maybe once or twice? Maybe a print on the go? But who is gonna travel with a mini printer and resin and IPA just to print on the road? Again like i said: it is cute and all, but let's not all forgot the main function of the printer.

​@@DonsArtnGames the thing is you can often get a full-size printer (like Creality Halot One) for a very comparable price.

@@adameichler exactly my point, not really the brand i would go for but yeah exactly like you said.

Thats mainly what I'd get a 3d printer for, 1/6 scale heads as well as some 1/12 scale heads and weapons.

That's one of the areas I plan to use it.
