I can’t believe that it’s under £100.00 what an amazing piece of kit
Thank you Wayne. This looks like a neat little intro printer and the print was excellent.
Well that did it Wayne, just ordered one. Ended up being $112.03 USD with shipping. Thanks
Looks like a great little printer! My friend actually picked one up on the recommendation of another UA-camr, but after setup and attempting to print one of the provided test files, it gave us nothing... Not sure what went wrong but part of the experience I guess... I still might get one for myself!
Will be looking into buying one of these. Thanks for showing us this Wayne
Perfect timing! Just what I needed to take a break from the Super Snake! My brother is thinking of getting into 3D printing, so I'll send him this video. Thanks, Wayne, for the video and for the break!
This looks to be just as good as the Anycubic Mono range and at half the price. An excellent first printer for anyone wanting to learn 3D printing.
Thank you Wayne was just looking into resin 3d printers the other day will defo check this out 👍
Excelent video, I would recommend using Lychee slicer, been using that for years and the new update is awesome, full of useful features.
Enjoyed the demo and was interested enough to follow your link to the machine. Whilst it is true that the machine cost just ove £82, the shipping was £86. 😲 That sort of took the shine off my enthusiasm a bit!
Shipping isn't that high if it is in stock in your territory. In the UK, while it was in stock it was £8
Looks great Wayne, one of these will look great next to my ender 3
Thanks Wayne, this looks like a fantastic piece of kit for the price. It seems perfect for what I would need.
I gave in and ordered one, had it arrive yesterday. Can't wait to start using it.
@@scottwhite1503what’s the verdict?
Would suggest remove supports before curing as I cured with supports and it destroyed the print removing supports and I use water washable resin which costs me around £22 for 1kg less toxic less fumes and easier to wash with water that works out cheaper than buying isopropyl
will be looking into 1 of them
Amazing little printer. My only concern would be the way the vat is "slid" over the screen when installing/changing it. Any dust or micro-debris could lead to scratches on both the FEP and the screen.
I am in the EU. Both link for EU and US redirect to the same page with shipping from US or China. From US is $13 shipping, from China $113. Both will have custom duties that would easily be half the price of the printer. We need it to be shipped from inside the EU!
Yep. It’s cos they are out of stock in EU and GB atm
@@WorldofWayneUK thanks for the clarification Wayne. I'll keep checking the website :)
Just a quick update: you need to select the right country in the upper left box "Ship to" and the EU warehouse will appear! I've just ordered my first 3d resin printer, together with the wash and cure machine gwc02. Thanks!
Love the 3D resin printer, must get myself one😊
Nice ,might invest in one
Yes, it's cheap as chips - £82 but it costs £89 postage!
Looks amazing for the price!
But why oh why did they put the USB socket on the back! I'd use an extension so you don't have to keep accessing the back of the machine.
not just looked at it went and ordered one
Postage just killed it for me, cost more than the printer! Update: Ok I just found the EU site listed on Ricky Impeys video.Thats a much better postage proposition.....
what about ventilation for the resin smell of the printer. i notice you didn't use any.
Can’t seem to find them online in the UK Wayne. Where did yours come from Squire?
TIA
The pixel size is good enough for beginners or if you just need a second machine for low-resolution stuff.
Every print I’ve seen come off this printer has layer lines. Maybe it’s a setting issue? Until this is confirmed I’d give it a miss
Thanks for sharing
Wayne, I really enjoyed this video. I'm not very good with electronics, but this item looks very easy to use for me. Do you use your phone for setup or something else. I see that I'm back on Patriot, and I'm glad for that. Wayne and family have a great day, and you all be safe. Bruce
No. All the setup is done on machine. Only the Chitubox program is done on the PC
Thanks, Wayne, for the update.
Hi world of wayne the 3D print looks really good the I want to ask haw much electric dose it use
I find that leveling in the vat, not on paper, is better with my printers. I have two tank body printers, a phrozen sonic 4k (original in tank body, before they made the consumer ones) and a epax tank printer (lol, before they also joined in the consumer ones). Those consumer printers came out right after I invested way too much in the ones I have. They are nicer, but they are overkill for what I need. I wish I had waited just a little longer, so many nice printers are out now.
Hi Wayne do you know where you can get files for uk tank crewmen for Challenger 2 tank cheers Ross
I always use Thingiverse
I have creality halot one resin printer and i also have creality ender 3 pro and flsun qqs-pro 😁
good vid
That's the perfect size 3d printer for me to use in my boatsmans cabin.
You live on a boat? That sounds cool
@@akumaking1 It's very peaceful.
@@akumaking1 I live on 57ft narrowboat named 'Whole in the Water'. She's about 203 years old and in great condition. I've recently repainted the cabin and the hull.
It's engine was fitted in 1913 and runs like new. It's a slow pace of life and a really nice community of people. The canals are literally the countries longest streets where the houses move about all the time.
@@milanondrak5564 where are you located?
@@akumaking1 At the moment I'm in Wolverhampton but I'm on a constant cruising license so I can only stay in one place for 14 days maximum.
That was really useful and informative thank you. How long did it take to cure outside? Also did you remove the bust from the plate before curing? And you took the support struts off before or after curing? Thanks again Wayne. Ian
Yep I removed before curing. About 2 hours in sunshine
@@WorldofWayneUK thank you
Hi Wayne. Hope y'all are doing well. I liked the review of the Resin Printer, but I was wondering if there may be a difference in the supplies and operating costs between the Resin Printer and Filament printer. What are your thoughts? Besides the cost of the 3D Printers LOL.
The resin cost me £22 per kg. Slightly more expensive then filament but not a lot in it to be honest
Nice video. Do i spy some gundam kits in the back. IS the bigger one the nu gundam real grade or the hi nu gundam real grade. nice full Armour unicorn gundam as well. I love gundam kits especially the real grade's
Brilliant video Wayne,may invest in one as I'm a 3d printing virgin lol. How much does the resin cost? Do you have a preference make?
Resin can cost around £22 per kg
Sorry for asking again ..which company are you using for the resin??
I just use what’s available on Amazon
Shame the usb stick goes in all the way round the back, especially given the promotion of the ‘ergonomical’ front screen 😂
Hello Wayne. I have never done any printing. Where would one get files for printing? I know there will be a cost for these but would like to see what files are available before buying one. Thanks Wayne
Thingiverse has a whole bunch of free stl models
For me to purchase this and have it shipped to Canada the shipping is more than the printer (printer is $134. Shipping is $149).
Did you change the shipping location at the top of the web page?
@@WorldofWayneUK - Yes I did. Can't believe the cost of shipping is so much. May have to look for one in Canada that doesn't cost as much to ship. Thanks for the information
Guess I missed it.......what's the resolution?
2k mono
@WorldofWayneUK ..... just a query what did you do with the left over resin which was left in the vat??
Just keep it there. It will be fine
Why didn't you cover the cleaning and curing. People who have no idea about that need to know. It puts me off getting a resin printer
Because I’m doing that in a seperate video
Great looking printer, shame we are looking at £100 shipping to UK .
It’s not normally that high. They are just out of stock in the UK warehouse atm
@@WorldofWayneUK Any idea when the UK Warehouse will have more stock ?
@@adm65260 no but if you email them they are pretty quick at responding
Be advised that they have a habit of putting the non-sale price on their shipping invoice on the box, so be prepared for a potentialy nasty customs bill to release the package to you. Me and two other people I know that bought one have been stung that way.
Awesome video Wayne, what’s the ‘resin online’ you mentioned? Got a name or a link etc?. Also the Groot bust, did you draw that up? Or can you simply buy templates online for this type of stuff?. Any help would be great bud, as Iv been looking at getting in to 3D printing for a few years now, but always been nervous to take the plunge
I downloaded the bust from Thingiverse. As for resin just do a search for 3D Printing resin on Amazon. Any of those will work
@@WorldofWayneUK legend thank you Wayne as always. 🙏
There are so many issues with that Groot-model. supports are failed all over the place. happy youhade enough that it didn't matter. and there is a big layer separtation. luckily its groot and it fits the model. but it realy is not good
And your models are not the exactly "the same". Could be the resin, or the printer. Don't know. Besides the issues, I already told. The "Bigger" Printer has no layer separation and has a matt finish, while the Geeetech has a very glossy finish, which many don't like. Could be the result of overexposure
Actually the fee sheet had a leak. I had to replace it and then get a razor to the screen
I made another video since this one printing the Enterprise bridge and it worked perfectly
Did u print it without any ventilation?
The workshop is ventilated
Looks a good p resin printer for the price.
As an introduction to resin 3D printing it might have been advisable to mention wearing gloves (and possibly a mask) when coming into contact with resin.....it's pretty nasty stuff until it's cured
Definitely. Better make another video for that
@@WorldofWayneUK awesome idea
Just a question Wayne, is that type of resin easy to paint over?
Yep no probs at all
Just went to order one and they said they can't order to the UK..😢
I had no problems. Make sure you change the shipping country at the top of the weboage
@@WorldofWayneUK I filled in UK and my Birmingham post code, used both links and it came up we cant deliver to this country.. I have sent them an email. No reply yet..
how durable is the mold when done?
Hard as rock
how do you know how much resin you have to put in?
There is a mom and max line in the tray
@@WorldofWayneUKhow did you know about my mom and Max? Those bloody neighbours love a gossip…
@@jbaldwin1970 lol 😂 I mean min and max
🎉🎉🎉🎉good
You should have the cover off it as little asp possible. This resin is highly toxic. All the particles you would be breathing in. Even without the printer working. All printers show the models you’ve selected. Too smaller build area and low quality. It’s an okay starter from what I’ve seen. Remove off the bed before cleaning. Remove supports before you cure. Warm water will be your friend. Remember you need to check with local authorities how to get rib of IPA. Water was resin. You CANNOT just flush it down the sink! Miss information. Nothing about safety. Wayne be careful
I’m doing a second video on that. I wouldn’t recommend taking off supports before curing. It destroys the print at the cut line. Also I keep on the bed while cleaning so I’m not in contact with the isopropyl but I guess we all do it different ways
@@WorldofWayneUK indeed we all have our ways of doing things.
However in time with seeing and doing you’ll notice things and ways of doing things
I’ve been resin printing for a couple of years now at least
It’s great and the detail of the higher end machines is beautiful
If you are happy with your prints and the way you do it then that’s your call
I’ve been there too
You learn and understand so much as you go
Removing supports before curing minimises the work load needed to clean a print
In the supports you can also adjust the penetration side of the tip angles etc
All helps not forgetting the thickness of the support
Auto generated are okay and can be useful, learning how and where they are needed is even better
Also then lowers the use of then, the amount of wasted resin work loads all round.
Allow your model to drip for a bit in the vat.
Tilt the build plate after printing and leave inside.
Pre wash in ipa. Then move to the main ipa wash.
Saves the ipa as well
So many tips and skills. It’s a wonderful tool and lots of best practices and tips to get
You’ll find your way I’m sure
But be warned, you may soon want more machines 😂
@@Rturn2609 I’m already looking at that Phrozrn 8k Mega
When you buy a Geeetech, think twice! Their customer support is awful. I have never seen such terrible customer service! I send them a few emails about my problems. What did they do? They copied-pasted my questions and sent them back to me. It happened many times. (I wish UA-cam let me show a screenshot) Disrespectful! I couldn't solve my problem.
