I made a video on the Photon P1 and my thoughts on it so far

Spoiler alert: I like this printer a lot. But it's not without a couple small items that could be improved.

I put my thoughts so far into a video - hopefully it helps anyone with questions about the P1!

Background: I do a lot of 3D scanning. FDM printing however doesn't give me the quality thats in my scans so resin printing is the obvious answer.

2 prints I've done with this thing so far:

  1. Custom Gundam mini. I scanned a 1/144 scale kit I built and painted and turned it into a 50mm mini. It came out great. The model has a ton of details that came through perfectly. The light support defaults came off clean, like they were never even there.

  2. Functional print! I printed replacement latching handles for my kid's toy bin. He keeps breaking them, and glue just doesn't cut it. The print finished in a little over an hour at 0.05mm layer height, which crushes the speed of my fastest FDM printer for the same parts at much higher quality.

Time to buy a lot more resin, I guess. I'm gonna need it.
