So I was just wondering what is, in your opinion the best Resin printer to get that just works like how Bambu printers in the FDM space just seem to work.

Or

Just what resin printer would you recommend purchasing?

I have a mars 3 and looking to upgrade to maybe a Saturn 4 ultra because I want a bigger build plate and auto leveling seems nice so it’s one less step I need to do.

I won't claim it's the equivalent of the Bambu Labs FDM printer, because I've never done FDM printing.

On top of that, I'm only familiar with the one resin printer I've used.

Anyway, it's an Anycubic Photon Mono X 4k. I've had really good luck with it, and I've printed over 200 miniatures and other things. I've had some failed prints but they were almost always my fault for doing something dumb, and there haven't been that many overall. I'm guessing easily less than 5%.

I wouldn't recommend the exact same model as mine, because they have newer ones (like an 8k version of mine and some others).

But I would definitely recommend the Anycubic Photon line as worth looking into. Read some reviews & watch some videos.

Good luck!

Yeah I’m looking really at any cubic mono 5s pro or the Saturn 4 ultra. As my two top contenders for upgrades.
