Large resin printers allow you to efficiently batch print and make larger items, but you better have a large budget as well. These printers carry similar, if not higher, XY resolutions to the smaller printers so prints will be just as beautiful and detailed.
We recommend the Phrozen Mega 8K only when you absolutely need all of the build volume.
The Elegoo Jupiter or Anycubic M3 Max will provide better values for most users.
Jupiter and Mega 8K
- Both printers are locked under Chitubox, but third parties like Lychee have been able to add these printers to their slicer.
