What's Good, What Isn't
Pros
- 12K screen — sub-20µm pixels mean genuinely paintable detail
- ACF film + linear rail = fewer failed prints
- Intelligent sensors detect resin level and tank tilt
Cons
- Resin printing requires a wash & cure station for $200 more
- Ventilation matters — don't put this in a bedroom
- 10" tank holds a lot of resin to waste on a failed print
