    The machine already has a screen protector already applied. It even said so on the pieces of paper you were showing. That other screen protector si an extra one that you get for applying once the first one gets wasted.

    I'm interested in getting this printer to finally enter the world of 3D resin printing. Sadly, your review seems to be the only one here on UA-cam. There are tons of reviews for the Photon M3 Plus and Max, but only one for the regular M3. Thats why your review is even more appreciated.
    Edit: Got this printer on a great discount and I'm loving it.

This video helps a lot as for the basic of it I'm looking forward to getting it delivered and using it for my business of printing figurines and the detail I want is in this printer. maybe down the road after I get used to this one ill go to the m3 max for bigger prints but for now this one should be a good starting one for me. Thanks for the in depth of the printer and how it works.

    there is a very important notice on updating the firmware on this model machine . putting that build plate on the screen not a good idea that paper should of been down first. .
    not sure why people lift the build plate z up to put resin in, look like a accident to happen, can you not press home then lift z up very little then pour your resin on your build plate and that all so lets you know it cant be over the vat max line .like your video

The ammount of resin in there is really minimal anyways so it won't be a big bother or "oopsie I just took 0.2 hours of mother Earth's life". Still if you care you can leave it in UV light, prob will cure any resin in there.

    This printer seems to be an upgrade to my Nova3d Bene4 mono. I like the feet and size of the vat with 4k screen. I hate the FEP style with the plastic one piece design. I don't think the M3 plus has that and don't understand why companies keep doing this. I would have no issue with it if the FEP that came with it was nFEP. The Bene4 mono had the same proprietary FEP system, but I managed to get around that nonsense with a laser cut metal replacement from a manufacturer on ebay. I have seen reviews already saying that there have been leaks from their fep system which is why they push the protective LCD cover hard on this printer. Hope this isn't true.

    Lately everything I've been printing from mine has been coming out like the supports are broken. I am lost at what is going on. I really haven't changed much other then doing the set up like it said from the box. I only adjusted the setting a little bit due to the normal box setting not working for me.

    • @tadhgd350
      @tadhgd350 2 роки тому +2

      I feel i have the knowledge to answer this so i will. Resin printers can’t print thermoplastic’s like nylon but there are “tough” resins that have a higher strength than standard resins, and some resins can even outperform filament printers. I have a resin from 3dmaterials that i am currently trying that is glass fibre resin, and I’ve tested some super tough resins too. Another thing to consider is that resin printers give almost the same strength on all 3 axis whereas filament printers are weaker on the Z axis. Hope this helps. (My yt tiger3dprinting might be able to help you a bit more with this with some tough resin reviews and also soon will be a project using a resin printer)

Resin machines are mostly for small figures or something that you won't be using to smack someone it will break. They are use for small and really good looking stuff with no lines and accuracy. The filament ones cant do really small details and figures unless you really have the settings on point but even that it won't be as good ,but large objects are better on filament and with better materials

    The resin is still toxic so not to be poured down the sink waste pipe.

    Hi,
    ****DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE****
    Thank you for your videos They are very detailed and informative. I just wanted to leave this comment on a machine you reviewed and talked about it in your video and I think that people should know this about this company before they buy this product.
    I tried to purchase the Anycubic photon Mono M5s and I found out that the discounts and offers they have on their website are all fake. The company is not an American company (which is ok) and is not located in US either. It is in Hong Kong but yet they charge Tax (LOL) even much higher rate than Uncle Sam does. They pocket the tax. They charge a lot for shipping as well. They offered a coupon of $60 worth for $10 and they don’t give you the access to use it until a few days later. Actually later after they charge you, they give you the restrictions. They didn’t let me use the coupon on the machine while they have special on it and said that is not available for this machine. 3 days later and they said you can only use it on this machine and only after the price has gone up. They raised the price of the machine $100 and now they say that I can use this coupon. Every email I sent them they didn’t respond right away and when they did they didn’t answer any of my questions and only send me a message about how I should buy the machine as soon as possible. I will not trust this company and buy any expensive machines if they are not responding to any concerns or question. Basically their warranty doesn’t mean anything either.
