I recently got my hands on the Phrozen Sonic Mighty 4K, and I have to say, I'm seriously impressed. This printer has a sleek and sturdy design that just screams quality. It's built like a tank, which means it stays super stable during prints and cuts down on vibrations. This leads to really precise and clean outputs.One of the things I love most about it is the large build volume. Whether I’m working on a big project or printing several smaller items at once, this printer handles it all with ease. It's incredibly versatile and perfect for all kinds of projects.Now, let's talk about the print quality—it's amazing. The 4K resolution gives you incredibly detailed and smooth prints. Honestly, the level of detail is just stunning, especially for the price.And speaking of price, the Sonic Mighty 4K is a fantastic deal. For the quality and features you get, it’s an excellent value for money. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a pro, this printer is a solid investment. Highly recommend!

This is my first experience ever with a 3D Printer or using 3D software and it's relatively easy. IF you plan on only using it to print other people's designs then I can't see why this wouldn't be beginner friendly. If you plan on drawing your own designs then a learning curve does come in mostly because this is resin and the print is done upside down, requiring supports and knowing what needs them. Also the resin requires some work before and after if you want a clean print. I don't have a filament printer but based off videos I've seen of them this printer creates way more realistic prints and cleaner surfaces with more detail. The printer itself is very sturdy and came with a nice scraper to remove the prints from the very sleek-looking build plate. The UI and screen for controls is phenomenal. The webcam doesn't work yet to view the prints remotely but webcams and home cams are very cheap to set one up till then. I don't have a single complaint. If you have the money and want a RESIN printer then this is it. Very large beautiful prints.

This was my second resin printer/third 3D printer ever purchased and, at the time...the largest. I was very apprehensive when making this purchase, but the online reviews (both on Amazon and elsewhere) helped me make that jump. And I'm glad I did.This printer, out of the box, has been nothing short of a powerhouse. After unboxing, I immediately ran the test print...and it came out nearly perfect. Tweaking and dialing in the settings (there are a LOT of guides out there to help out), the only failures I've had were either due to me (poor supports mainly) or temperature-related (which was solved by purchasing a mini heater that fits easily inside the cabinet).The details are outstanding, even when printing smaller parts. And the overall size is second only (for me) to the M3 Max. I use nothing but Phrozen 8K Aqua resins in this machine, and have various settings pre-set/stored according to layer thickness and anti-aliasing.As for slicers...I use both Lychee and Chitubox Pro depending on what tickles me at the moment, and neither have given me any issues whatsoever. I've even shut the machine down for weeks on end (usually when I've been gone from home or when it simply got too cold that even then heaters couldn't keep the enclosure warm enough) and it's never failed to print on restarting and getting it all warmed up and the vat filled.I DID purchase the Mach 5 screen protector for this and ordered a couple extra vats which I then switched out to nFEP (purchased here on Amazon) which allowed me to tweak the time to print even a little bit more (nFEP provides less resistance than the standard FEP film, so lift speeds and height can be reduced a bit to reduce overall print time).Overall, I have not one bad thing to say about this machine at all. The Wash/Cure station - that's a different story and a reason why I gave Technical Support 4 stars rather than 5. But the printer itself? 100% worth the money!

Ease of use: This is NOT my first resin printer, I have two others that have served me well and are still going. It is however, easier to level and keep it's level. The big display panel and instructions on the thumb drive make it a breeze to get going. The feet on the resin reservoir help to align it to the print bed.Quality of Prints: I mainly print 28mm miniatures and the detail at 8K with a resolution of 0.020 mm is simply awe inspiring! I have seen the prints off of 12K printers and there is NO difference between them (vs. 8K prints) to the naked eye! So get the Mighty 8K and be assured that you are getting the best there is. If you are printing bigger items you will probably want to enable Anti-Aliasing and delve into your particular slicer's settings.Construction: This printer is solidly put together, nothing shoddy about it.Cons: I wish the resin reservoir had a more pronounced pour groove but it is adequate. On the topic of the reservoir a better fill line would also be appreciated. Both of these are pretty minor gripes in the scheme of things though.Pros: Large build plate, easy to level, and the build plate scraper works like magic!Life Improvements: I went ahead and got the Flexible Build Plate from Wham Bam Systems for the Might 8K and I don't care WHAT printer I get in the future I am going to get a flexible build plate for it!Final Thoughts: It is a great printer, with a large build plate, that is easy to level and operate!
