Medium Format Resin Printer Roundup.

[ICMF]

I thought this might be a useful thread for people interested in the new crop of medium-sized mSLA printers hitting the market.  An overview comparing the size, price and some of the features of the various options.  It should be a fairly complete list, but if I'm missing one, LMK and I can add it.

 

Most of these are very similar - they pretty much all run off the same motherboard, most have the same or similar 4K mono screens (I'll note the ones that don't), so utimately it's down to price and availability.  The specs are mostly obvious - volume, resolution, pricing...  I've also included mm3/$ - basically, how many cubic millimetres of print volume you get per $ spent on the printer.  It's a spec often used as a sort of 'just how much can I print for my money'.  That said, it's neither hard nor expensive to replace your Z axis with a longer column, which would make these comparisons meaningless  (I plan to do this with my printer)

 

8.9" Class - 192 x 120 Printers  (all have 4K mono screens, bucket lids and are pretty comparable, if not identical)

Printer        L    W    H             Resolution    Price        Volume/$    s&h    Tot.US    GBP (est.)   Notes
Anycubic
Mono X        192    120    245        .050    $700     8064 mm3/$      $155    $854    £625        Available through Amazon, which will save S&H and make customer service easier.
Creality
LD-006        192    120    250         .050    $700     8229 mm3/$        ???       ???       ???         Not out yet?  Has a nicer, larger touchscreen.
Elegoo
Saturn        192    120    200          .050    $500     9216 mm3/$    ---                      £365        Shortest build height, but also cheapest.  Also available through Amazon.
Epax
E10 (8.9")    192    120    250         .050    $700    8229 mm3/$    $200?    $900?    £660         Plastic build plate, vat.  Upgradeable to a larger screen (needs new screen and mainboard)

 

9.3" Class - 200 x 125 Printers
Phrozen
Sonic Mighty 4K    200  125  220   .052    $500     11000 mm3/$    $100    $600    £440    Short-ish Z height, but bigger X/Y size and overall best bang-for-the-buck

 

10.1" Class - 216 x 135 Printers
Epax
E10-5K         216    135    250        .046    $850    8575 mm3/$      (10.1")    $1050?    £767  Big screen and higher res than competition, but uses plastic plate & vat

 

Large Format Printers
Phrozen    
Transform    292    165    400        .076    $2000 - $2700    9636/7137mm3/$    (13.3")        Price depends on screen type; Mono screen is £2240, cheaper option uses color LCD

Peopoly
Phenom    276    155    400        .072    $1800    9507 mm3/$        (12.5"; Colour LCD)        Peopoly led the way in larger MSLA printers, but they're pricey for what you get
Phenom Noir    294    165    400        .077    $3200    6064 mm3/$        (13.3"; Mono LCD) Still, they're about the only choice for truly large-format printers, and will probably
Phenom L    346    194    400        .090    $2800    9589 mm3/$        (15.6"; Colour LCD)     be the first with an 8K screen, which should give good resolution at huge sizes.
Phenom XXL    527    296    550        .137    $7000    12257 mm3/$        (23.8")                  Ma-hoosive volume, ma-hoosive price.  If you're into ship models, this is your jam.  (I could do a resin Hindenburg on this sucker!)

Really great round up, thanks. Plenty to dream about! I'm trying to imagine needing a Peopoly Phenom xxl...
