Our First Resin Printer - The Phrozen Sonic Mini

My Husband and I took the plunge and bought a resin printer and it has been one of the best hobby purchases we have made. I wish we purchased The Sonic Mini earlier it is an amazing machine by Phrozen. The three major reasons we chose to go with the Phrozen mini for our first resin printer is the price, the speed and longevity.

The price – at the point when I purchased this machine it was priced at under $400 Australian, not including postage of course but that’s the cheapest resin printer we had ever heard of.

The Speed and longevity - the Sonic mini has a Parallel UV LED light Matrix and a thermal stable mono LCD screen enabling it to print for over 2000 hours before needing replacement and produce your prints faster than a lot of other printers.

The Machine was ordered directly from Phrozen the manufacture. It was well packed and arrived in great condition with no damage. It was easy to set up and start printing.

When we ordered it, we added a bottle of phrozen’s Aqua green resin which smells bad but worked really well with the machine. We have now shifted to using Esun resin as we can get it cheap here in Australia and the smell is a lot less intense.

The machine comes with its usual kit of scrappers, gloves, funnel and memory stick.

Ok so now for its one down side it’s a UK power supply that comes with it and they don’t do any other type, so I just grabbed myself an adaptor and tapped it to the power supply and that’s what I’ve been using so far.

Another bonus of the sonic mini is it comes with a see-through resin tray/tank which helps with seeing through to resin prints when printing.

Lastly for a first resin printer, the build plate is small but that’s normal for most resin printers these days, however with all its other features I believe that until the technology gets cheaper and in turn, they come with larger build plates this printer is awesome for what you get.

This is a perfect machine for a lot of us getting into resin printing and is going to get a continued flogging from me.

Thank you Phrozen for an awesome machine.
