The First 'Hassle Free' Resin 3D Printer?

If you've ever struggled with resin 3D printing, you're not alone. From messy resin spills everywhere, punctured films, residue damaging the printer, resin printing has long been a challenge for hobbyists and beginners alike. But what if there was a resin printer that changed all of that?

In this video, I explore the HeyGears UltraCraft Reflex RS - a resin 3D printer that's been creating quite a buzz in the community. Dubbed by some as the "Bambu Lab of Resin Printers," this machine claims to offer a completely new experience with features that could change the way we think about resin printing. Could this be the breakthrough that makes resin printing easier and more enjoyable?

Over the course of a few days, I came to understand how this is kind of the best resin 3d printer for beginners, or just people who don't want to learn resin 3d printing (like me). And SHOCKINGLY, unlike many of the other, affordable resin 3d printers I'd used in the past, everything I printed, from 3d printed miniatures to large busts, printed perfectly with no intervention or manual slicing from me. Pretty slick.

Also, I want to once again state: This is a sponsored video, and HeyGears DID review this video before publication. Outside of tech specs, they did not correct or modify anything I said, nor did they cut anything out of my script. As always, I wouldn't say anything I don't feel to be true. And I'll say that while this is not a review, I'm comfortable recommending this as the best resin 3d printer for beginners. In fact, it's easily the best resin 3d printer I've ever used, by a wide margin. Hope it's helpful, even though it's a sponsored video!

Also, I always love your feedback, so let me know how you feel I navigated the ethics of the situation!

[DS-pkeh]

It is not that printers were bad, it is that resin is smelly, toxic and hard to work with.
So, whoever find a solution to that for ALL printers, they will win!

[AllenAlberti]

hopefully Formlabs won't buy this company and bury it like they did the last promising one...

[edude]

I feel like a hater saying this but - this feels a lot more like an ad than your typical content. I think it's 1) because it's not a review and 2) You're not already a resin printer so not much to compare it to. Yes, on paper heygears is better, yes, they have a nice ecosystem, but "budget" printers like the Saturn 4 Ultra are basically problem free for a lot less money.

[SamPosten]

The problem with resin printers isn’t the printers it’s the toxic resins

[jamesmackay]

Showing disconnected support tips in the "perfectly calibrated" printer printing is crazy work

[sierraecho]

- Expensive
- Locked System
- Still toxic resin and VOC´s
I really don´t see a huge upsite. Yeah it´s a better product but no it does not solve any big issues with resin printing

[stoinercraft]

(edit, it seems like they released an offline version of their slicer)

my main problem wtih heygears's approach is that AFAIK you can't use their machine without signing up/login to their services, this means if you buy it and for some reason they can't provide you service, that machine is basically dead weight

[someonenormal]

you didn't address the main elephant in the room - AIR FILTRATION!

[kevd]

This printer looks cool, personally i got my first resin printer this year the elegoo mars 5 ultra and i have found it incredibly reliable

[Duckferd]

Personally, I have a lot of knowledge and time dedicated towards FDM printing, but I absolutely don't want to deal with resin already, so literally leaving it in a (ventilated) room doing "one click and done" type printing is very appealing.

[DuaneBendt-chod]

I have had a Elegoo Saturn S for about two years and haven’t even used it yet, I have been getting all the information around to give it a go and then I saw a video about the RS and a pre-order and how fail proof it was. So I bought one, because that’s what I want. Not having to figure out everything. Still looking for alternatives for IPA cleaning and found three, thinking about making a video comparing them but I have to study on how to make a video. Anyway, I can’t wait to try my RS.

[Valdarious]

Not to take away from what looks like an amazing printer, but they should take the time to at least mill the top of the plate to create an angle so the resin flows off of the top of it lol.

[Athiril]

Heygears is the Epson or HP of Resin printers, not Bambulabs. If at some point you cant login to their cloud then your printer is a paper weight. No other slicers, inability to profile 3rd party resins etc.

[RAklepto]

You're my hero! Epoxy resin was going to be my jam and then I discovered 3D printing but now I can do both without the pouring! I feel there are some things (can't think of any atm) that are better done with resin than with plastic. Could be wrong but I aim to find out :D

[mrmidnight]

You mentioned other youtubers calling this the Bambu labs of resign. But you left out that most said it’s over priced and not a recommend. It’s nice but not worth it to them. Especially since everything that makes this great is with their proprietary expensive resign is gone and it’s a regular printer.

You printed in their controlled environment with their resign. Of course your experience is going to be amazing lol

[deepcrows]

I went “Wow, that’s a lot of quality of life stuff! There’s not a shot in hell I can afford it”

[dambukarincasi]

You forgot to mention that you basically cannot use any other brand of resin other than heygears branded ones

[joejvitale]

If you have been having a 50% resin printer failure rate, that's on you. Once you have your printer, resin and supports dialed in, you would have maybe a 5% failure rate. I've had my GKTwo for over a year with maybe 10 failed prints in over 300 attempted. Cool printer, though.

[alxfort]

Great video! I definitely want one myself and I feel like a lot of people who say they don't want to be apart of the ecosystem are the same people who own Apple phones and apple watches.
