Original Creality HALOT-ONE Resin 3D Printer

Great printer! Works well! Takes a little getting used to the Mono screen but so far the prints have been fantastic!

Great printer, package came really well packaged, no damage, nothing missing. Very easy to follow setup, I already have gotten a handful of successful prints! I have this in a smaller room and the resin smell is at a minimum so you won’t be overwhelmed with the smell and I’m just printing with Elegoos standard white resin. Very happy with this printer

After owning this for about two months as my first resin 3D printer, this is every bit as good as the reviews are calling it. The quality of the prints are amazing, and after I got it properly leveled it worked like a charm. That being said, there is a learning curve that can be daunting if you don't expect it. You also have to take into account learning how to use the software that comes with it and figure out how to work with the resin. THIS is where you're going to succeed or fail with about 90% of the prints that you're doing. Do research about how to set supports. Do more research. Be prepared for the first 4-10 prints you have made to fully or partially fail due to supports not getting a critical island and things not attaching properly. Expect that each time you set up a model to print, it'll take approximately 30-90 minutes to get the supports established so all the small details will be properly supported and print right. But once you get the hang of this it starts to flow. You can start to see where the problem points are going to happen, and prepare for it. Also, auto-supports will fail you as long as you don't adjust the percentages to be over 100% supported. Just prepare to support by hand and you'll be set. Resin-There are many different colors and types of resin out there, and when you do set up your profile for the machine and the print you want to make sure to enter the recommended exposure and travel times from the resin manufacturer. Also, be aware that temperature makes a huge difference in how things print. Temperatures under about 68-70 degrees Fahrenheit will cause the resin to not cure properly and cause problems. Also, if your print fails then you probably have cured resin bits in the tank and it needs cleaned and strained. Be gentle with the tank, because the bottom is a thin plastic film under quite a bit of tension and if you're rough while trying to get the resin out you'll scratch the FEP film and wreck it. They're cheap and fairly easy to replace, but it's definitely something the instruction manuals don't tell you about. Also, Sprayway alcohol-based glass cleaner is amazing and makes cleaning tanks and the build plate SO much faster and easier.

Stunned. Honestly, I'm stunned at the quality this printer can produce. I have several friends with 3D printers, but this was my first dive into the hobby. The first time you pull that build plate out and have something dangling there... it pretty incredible. That said, you have to understand what you're getting into. While this printer is basically ready out of the box (note: you do have to buy resin -- no starter resin provided) that doesn't mean you'll be printing 3D cars and airplanes your first night. This is still a hobby device; meaning there will be things to learn and safety procedures to follow to get successful prints and not make yourself sick in the process. Resin can be nasty stuff. You have to respect it That means gloves, well ventilated room, and you should really always wear a mask and glasses/goggles when handling it. Also, you are going to need a way to neutralize most resins after the printing process. That means cleaning the parts in IPA 90%+. Lastly, even though your models will come out *mostly* solid, it's a good idea to hit them with some additional UV light to finish the process. Either with a UV light source or our good friend Mr. Sun.

I love this machine. I have found things it excels at some things but the older style machines excel at other things these machines don't and vice versa. I find that when you get the faster exposures and cure times your trade a bit of tune-ability with fine tuning your resins. Despite this I'm still able to get it to go down to about .03 layer heights where as on the non mono, rgb lcd style machines you can get the layer heights down to a incredible .01mm but it's hard and makes little difference for the amount of time it will add to your print. One thing this machine excels at is the print speed it is literally the fastest printer u have out of any style 3d printer resin and fdm. But due to being limited to only certain types of parts because of the limitations of the strength of the filament or resins you really only use these for printing very niche items and I find mysekf relying more and more on fdm printing as I get those machines pretty well dialed in accuracy wise but speed wise the fdm printers are ridiculously slow compared to these. I love that creality put a glass screen protector on this unlike it's competition.
