    I love that your not chasing the trend of over hyping the importance of raw speed or getting the smallest pixel size.

      I was watching these printers before I saw this video, but had my main printer died over the weekend, replacement parts hadn't been made in at least two years, and I was able to leverage getting one of these as a business investment. Wow, it really is a game changer, and I am a stickler for quality over quantity. Almost ironically (granted my other printers are quite old now) but they were all mid-size machines in the 8-9.3" range and were relatively slow. After a super solid exposure test (even did the profile two days before I had the actual machine), I went straight into a previous print and it took two hours Less time on the GKTwo vs the old flagship. For me, that's damn near magical status. It's not even moving at the same lift and retract settings as the old one (lift is slower, retract a bit quicker) but still, TWO HOURS saved! Still trying to figure out how that happened, and it was even a bit Overexposed! This was at 1 second layer times...

    Thank you Ross, the day you published the video comparing a couple of other resin printers I made up my mind and was about to order the Saturn 2, but I decided to wait a few days to check the comment section for any feedback and other peoples' opinions.
    Very glad I did because you said to wait for an upcoming video (this one). This one convinced me and I ordered the GKtwo the day you uploaded this video.
    Thank you for teaming up with Uniformation and providing us with that $60 discount code, that + free shipping saved me so much money: I got it for $840 while Amazon lists it for $1100 where I live.
    Today, some 3 weeks later, I finally received it. It's my first printer and I think I purchased the best resin printer for the consumer market right now.

    I feel like the resin 3d printer industry has been stagnant these past few years, with only a slight increase in quality and a few gimmicks that don't help much or improve usability for those just getting into the hobby. Glad to see that Uniformation has brought some good quality of life upgrades, and it would be great to have one to try out!

  • @turbosnowy
    @turbosnowy Рік тому +6

    2 months later and a total noob to 3D printing now is in possession of a GKtwo. Now bear in mind I have no prior experience or knowledge and everything 3D printing and slicing etc is essentially witchcraft. Diary:
    Day 1) Print some flat plate things at different exposures from about 2s to 0.75 and they all look the same to me - at least this thing prints
    Day 2) Print a 28mm sister of battle at about 0.3 mm layer height and either 1 or 1.7 exposure time, not sure - either way turns out amazing but takes about 6 hours yikes.
    Day 3) 6+ hours for a mini seems a bit crap for something supposed to be quick, I'm heating the resin to 30 degrees after all, but no clue what settings to use since noone will ever post useful settings on the web that I can find which is ultra annoying so just guessing here - decide to try a cones of calibration - FAILURE - sticks to build plate
    Day 4) Not sure why cones failed - decide to try again at 1 sec 5mm and it comes out fine, with just some failure cones showing a bit of over exposure...
    Day 5) Try cones at .075s exposure time - total failure. Decide cones is a lost cause try a full mini build plate at 0.75s and total failure.
    Day 6) Realise NFEP is now buggered - have a spare so watch Uniformation tutorial on replacing it - replace Nfep , seems a bit loose but maybe that will mean less failures due to things sticking to it.
    Day 7) Try printing another cone at 0.75s exposure time (bane of my printer it seems), and come back to find resin spilling out the machine, basically everywhere (luckily too k advice from YT videos and have the printer sitting on a rubber pet food mat with outside lip to contain messes) - hurriedly cancel the build and try to clean it up (water washable so there is that). Learn how to take out the 8k screen to check if anything has gone in and totalled my machine - luckily not yet, manage to clean it up with only a drip I can see having gone down the hole where the LCD ribbon goes - try to get what I can with an earbud. - Watch replacing NFEP video again and realise they turned the gasket upside down off camera before fixing to the tray and never bothered to mention it - somewhat annoyed and hoping my machine still works.
    Day 8) Try replacing NFEP again now knowing I need to flip the gasket before attaching to the tray - makes total sense once you know how, now seems tight as a drum - quietly hopeful this will work along with the printer not being borked after only printing 1 sister. Print a new model at 0.3mm 1.5s exposure time using the slicer that came with the GKtwo this time as some poeple reckon you get better results, and boom it worked great, which means a) my printer is still alive and works and b) I still need to work out how to dial this thing in properly. With the latest model (awesome space trader from raging heroes - great if you like SoB) I realised that if you have the option of support 'on everywhere' it will add supports even to a previously supported model which meant mine turned out as basically a mess of 90% supports with about 10% of a model hidden in there somewhere. The model was very detailed, the supports I printed were insane which meant I clipped through a cane she was supposed to be holding as it looked the same as the other 367 supports surrounding it - so lesson learned there folks, don't use supports everywhere with the GKTwo supplied slicer for pre-supported models.
    It's been about a week and I can honestly say... it's been emotional.

    • @turbosnowy
      @turbosnowy Рік тому +6

      Just to follow up for anyone interested - Day 9 & 10) Two completely successful plates now printed at 1.5s Exposure time at 0.03mm layer height, 25 s burn in, added rafts of 1mm to everything and used supports provided by the model creators, all using bog standard water washable Anycubic Grey resin. Now more careful around getting rid of supports - washing in hot water helps a bit with that - have to say this printer is a beast once you get it to work - it's just getting over that initial hump that can be... somewhat painful haha. Anyway hope my settings help any other noobs out there at least have a starting point to try.
      My next overnight try is to scale a mini up 3x and see if I can print that out (will be about 10cm tall or thereabouts) - had to create the rafts and use auto support creation via the slicer tool, so lots of 1st time trial on this run - let's see how it turns out in the morning, I reckon about 50/50 chance of success haha.

    • @turbosnowy
      @turbosnowy Рік тому +3

      Day 11) Probs final diary update - I tried a 10 hour overnight print of a 3x scale assassin model last night - had to use a non supported version as upping the scale buggered the presupported in Lychee at least, so added my own raft and supports in Lychee, then loaded in the GKtwo slicer program, added some holes to the base because why not (Lychee wants you to pay for Pro version to save with hollowing and holes it seems - weaksauce). Anway, decided to stick with my settings of everything default on GKtwo slicer apart from 0.03mm layer and down from 3s to 1.5s exposure time and went to bed, hoping I would not wake up to find a resin swamp in my printer room. Results? Total success as it turns out - the model was fantastic, and will be so much easier to paint - I think I might have discovered a new thing (at least for me) - find a 28mm or 32mm mini you like or whatever you can get an STL for and blow it up 3x and print that - since I am primarily interested in painting rather than wargaming, this could be pretty awesome :) Also lastly I guess kudos to raging heroes, I used their current Inquisition (SoB like) release of stls and at normal scale they are great (although I guess 32mm rather than 28mm if you have GW army also, so you may need to scale em down a bit to fit) however at 3x scale which I guess they are not actually designed for in terms of printing, they're still amazing, so well done to them 😀

    Yes, I agree that temperature is critical. Seems obvious right, especially if you read the label on the resin.

    Dang! I wish this video was out a few months ago when I bought my printer. I could have totally stretched my budget, and the heater would be a game changer for me! I'm in Northern Ontario, Canada, so it's COLD here. I was having a bunch of issues with prints, and it did come down to exposure time and temperature. It's about 0-10'C where I was printing. I've since moved my printer upstairs to a heated part of the house.
    But the features on this printer do seem like really innovative and thoughtful ones, and I'll definitely keep an eye on this manufacturer for my next purchase.

    The potential Messiness with resin printing process is what holds me back so far, a lot of innovative ideas around vat , build plate, filter, heat chamber in GKtwo reall got me excited and wanting to try resin. This model pretty much solve/ attempt to solve all my concerns with resin printing.

    This would be super useful for us UK printers. I don’t really have suitable space in my house to print, not with good ventilation so my garage is my makeshift workshop.
    It’s definitely on my list to consider if I need a new/extra printer.

    I just saw your Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra and thought that would be my first printer, and said as much in the comments. But after thinking about where I would keep it, the garage, I started thinking about temps, then stumbled on this printer in All3dp and came to your video and bought it with my Christmas money! So it looks like I'll be joining the Resin communiity with this as my very first printer. Thank you for your very detailed review. I've subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work.

    My Elegoo Mars Pro 2 has just broken and customer support has been no help so I've been watching your videos trying to settle on a Saturn 2 or Saturn 8k, but then I came across this video and I'm sold on this printer! I'm in the north east in the UK and it is COLD which has meant no printing for about 7 months of the year, this built-in heater will be a lifesaver. Looks as though they're out of stock until August but at least it gives me time to save!
    I usually print minis for our Pathfinder campaigns and some big monsters from Loot Studios, would love to print the kraken on this!
    Thanks for the informational video!

    Just got some of the models from Witchsong and found my tiny photon s is simply too small to print some of them without changing their scale... So that's what I would print with a bigger plate! Love the reviews, has really helped with researching the new tech out there.

  • @earthspawn3d
    @earthspawn3d Рік тому

    Way too many cool features. Love it. Even the small details like the brim thingy around the build plate. Also, the print bed never gets completely under the resin which makes it cleaner as well.

    I'm starting to get into the 3d printing scene and damn, those minis look beautiful! I've been playing tabletop RPGs for a long time but never got into the whole miniature things because I like to have a lot of choice and it really is (was?) expensive to own many... But 3d printing has come a long way and I believe it's time for me to get into it and start printing all the props I need for my D&D sessions!
    Thanks a lot for the very informative videos!

    I am going to be honest. I love a printer that works well every time without hours of resetting,recalibrating etc. just something that works consistently, not much to ask haha. I have gone through a heap of saturns so at the point of where do I go with my printing hobby next so seeing this was great timing. They all have their quirks but this looks like a greatest hits taking common asked questions and implementing it. As for printing stuff, I enjoy printing and painting fantasy miniatures and the odd larger piece.

    I’ve been doing some resin printer research as of late, aka binging your videos. Have my eyes set on scooping one of these beauties up some day because of the chamber heater alone! Sounds like an absolute game changer, especially with these cold northern temps. If I were to win I would be printing minis until I reach enlightenment. Been working on my 3d sculpting chops and excited to the idea of being able to hold them in person. Love your videos, greatly appreciate you doing all the hard work for informing all us 3d print enthusiasts

    I decided to be patient and wait for this printer to become available. I’m so glad I did. Took almost two months to finally arrive (from China). I actually cancelled my ANYCUBIC M5s for this printer. Paid twice as much but the features are well worth it. I’ve only printed two files so far but both were successful and turned out beautifully. Thanks for the video Fauxhammer. I would not have even know about this baby if not for you. Excellent review BTW!

    Sold. I'm getting one of these to print out the initial proofs/test models and terrain for the boardgame system I'm making. I'd love to be specific about what that is, but I'm sworn to secrecy. Was planning on building a small enclosure to heat in my studio due to the climate here on my side of the world. The heating element, quality of life features, and stunning print quality displayed in this video leaves no doubt in my mind that the Uniformation GKtwo will meet, and even exceed, my requirements.
    This is the printer I've been waiting for, and I didn't even know it.

    My first print would be a friendly articulated slug. Resin versions are awesome, and grabbing them by the tail and waving it around is quite pleasing. Even the sound of resin is quite alien and "insecty". Positively creepy. Preepy!
