Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K
About the Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K
The Sonic Mini 4K is a resin 3D printer that can produce very detailed and smooth models, especially for small and intricate designs. It uses a special type of screen to project light and harden the resin material layer by layer. The screen has a high resolution and a large size, which means that the printer can capture every detail of the 3D model. The printer can work with different kinds of resin, but it has a special resin that is designed for 4K printing. The printer also comes with some accessories and software that help users to prepare, edit, and print their 3D models. The software is easy to use and the printer has a touch panel for controlling the settings and starting the prints. The printer is a good choice for beginners and hobbyists who want to try high-resolution resin 3D printing. The printer is compact and lightweight, making it easy to store and transport. However, the printer also has some challenges, such as a tricky leveling process, a poorly made build platform, and the need for safety precautions when handling resin. The printer also requires some extra steps, such as washing and curing the models, to get the best results.

Disadvantages to consider
Limited build volume - This printer has a smaller than average build volume, which will restrict the possibilities of what you can print. Especially with functional parts, having a larger printer can open up a lot of options without the need to print parts in smaller pieces. On a positive note, this makes the printer easy to fit on a desk and very portable.
No Wifi Support - This printer does not natively support wireless connectivity, which is a convenient feature for both starting prints and monitoring them from a computer or smartphone.
