- I've been using the HeyGears UltraCraft Reflex RS for 3 months. The printer has received a number of software updates during that time, but is it still a good buy?

Great follow up vid - thank you sir!
Thank you for this perspective. Feels like most of the negative aspects that you pointed out are relative to the mobile app. I would say that these should be fixable in future updates, and the good news is that Heygears seem to be very responsive.
Great content. Cheers
Thanks for the update! I just got the RS a month ago and agree with a lot of what you said. I also had the same experience with low exposure resins. I tried Phrozen 8K resin which prints with 0.9s for me on an Elegoo using ACF. In the RS, I could get successful prints, but it would leave slivers stuck to the vat and a lot of fused supports against the models. I think the HeyGears resins just have a higher exposure setting that just isn't compatible with very fast 3rd party resins.
I'm also disappointed with the app. I don't have disconnection errors, but it doesn't really give good info or notifications or heated vat info, like you said. It needs a lot of work. Also since the printer is constantly checking peel forces, why doesn't it report an error when the peel force drops to near zero (like when you have a print failure?). I think the new Anycubics have pressure sensors now and they can do this. Still love the printer, but I think there's a lot of opportunities for improvements.
Anyway, great content! I'm definitely subscribing.
Cant wait to get mine
Great Video!

Oh really? Thank you, and I'll need to thank him too!
Haha same here actually
Are they going to make more resins for the RS would love a clear resin
I reached out to them for a printer for my channel, I haven't heard anything. I'm still a really small channel. Who knows what the future will hold.
Do you feel the wash and cure station is worth the money? I have the Elegoo Mercury X was and cure station currently and I’m unsure whether or not I want to spend the extra money on the hey gears wash and cure station
I think they're overpriced. I like the cure station more because of its size and heating function. But I'd rather spend my money on cheaper options.
A couple of concerns over the Heygears closed ecosystem, what happens if Heygears servers are down - zero zip slicing of files, and what happens if Heygrears decides to stop supporting the consumer market - no 'supported' resins as well as no new sliced files for the printer.
I've seen what one click auto supports are like in several slicers and while some are better than others most end up placing supports right across details that then destroy that detail. It also seems they prefer to orientate the objects such that the surface we humans are interested in such a way as to cover that surface with supports. I realize that you can use a third party slicer to support models, export as a .STL file and then import that into the Heygears slicer, but that is not the click and print solution that Heygears is selling. Heygears slicer might be better at orientation and supports, but their slicer still appears to pick less than ideal orientations. Seems like a better solution would be to allow other slicers directly. And resins from third parties in a similar fashion as Bamboo does for filaments with their FDM printers.
The slicer can be used offline. No servers necessary. You can also use a wide variety of third party resins. HeyGears doesn't recommend it, but you can and they work just fine. Auto-orientation is not ideal for detailed models, but it takes no time to orient a model yourself.
Rumor has it they are in discussions with other resin makers, but time will tell if that bears fruit.
So if you did not get it for free, would you spend your money on it?
Yes I would.
FauxHammer sent me here. And he was right - YOU sir make TOP NOTCH content.
Thank you!
gurgling lol....I don't know why it's making me laugh so hard.
