Yeah, I can upload the few Pokemon models I have. I don't know if I still have the Sonic one, I found it for free on thingiverse or something. I'll report back later tonight, in a few hours or so.

The Sonic 4K feels like a more premium/well built machine than the Mono 4K, but I honestly have no complaints about either. The 4K Mini is like $90 more than the Mono 4K, but I did buy an aluminum vat since the Mono 4K came with a plastic one and that cost me a little under $20.Pic related was done on the Mono 4K using Siraya Tech grey fast resin while those green Pokemon we're done on the Sonic Mini 4K using Anycubic's translucent green resin. I was having a fuck ton of issues using Anycubic's grey resin, no matter which printer I used it on so I swapped to Siraya tech and Phrozen's resin which I've had a lot more success with. That green resin is the only stuff I've used from Anycubic that wasn't hot garbage. YMMV but another anon in here had the same issues with the exact same resin/color combination.

I'm going to print a few more things on both printers tonight (Mainly Pokemon stuff since I'm a manchild) and I'll post more results. I'd say you can't go wrong with either machine but I've heard a lot of horror stories about Anycubic (mainly buying directly from them and customer service) but the machine has been working well for a few months. Phrozen seems to have better quality control but I've read that people have more issues setting up the Mini 4K and leveling it compared to the Mono 4K. For reference, they were both my first resin printers after dabbling in FDM printing for a whole week and I had no issues with any of my printers because I have the ability to read and follow instructions.

I'd suggest buying your printer on Amazon since you have until January 31st to return it in case anything goes wrong or you just don't like the printer.

How do you guys take off supports for resin prints? I've been doing hot water soaks and it seems to have the best results from what I've seen. Also, is Prusa too fucking Jewish to do black friday sales this year?
