What do you stand to gain over FDM? Well, the biggest potential benefit of resin 3D printing is likely going to be resolution and quality. Even with a cheaper, non-pro grade LCD printer, like the HALOT-ONE, you can get significantly better and finer details than with a similarly-priced FDM printer. The Halot-One has a 6-inch monochrome LCD screen through which the light from the source passes through. At 2560 x 1620 dots, the screen produces a pixel of 50 microns. This is at par with what most popular budget resin 3D printers offer. As one of the expert 3D Printer Manufacturers and Suppliers in China, Creality just sells 3d printer items like Creality HALOT-SKY Resin 3D Printer with high caliber.
When compared to the Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K, the Halot-One prints more but at a slightly lower resolution. In terms of resolutions, we are talking about microscopic detailing. The print quality, the quality of the print surfaces are at the same level for both printers. Creality Halot-One Print Samples The thermal management system of the HALOT-ONE is also a highlighted selling point, which includes a custom-made heat-sink, a cooling fan and an activated carbon air filtration system, which should help in safeguarding the user from the resin fumes. I have been doing Fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing for over a year now as a hobby on and off and have owned a total of three 3D printers - my current Monoprice Select Mini V2, which is the only one I could reasonably keep with limited home space and before that Prusa i3, which replaced my original Ender 3. So, my baby steps into 3D printing as a whole were done on one of Creality's 3D printers from the ever-popular Ender line and in a poetic turn on events, I am about to venture into Resin 3D printing on another Creality product. Look at the incredibly fine mesh on the skull figure and how consistent it is all around. My FDM Monoprice Select Mini V2 printer straight up cannot do these details, no matter how much I tune the settings.The Halot-One Plus sits in the awkward spot between small and large format resin 3D printers, and it’s hard to see if there is a place in the market for this machine. The large onboard LCD and built-in Wi-Fi connectivity are something you would expect on a more expensive printer like the Prusa SL1S, but are users currently looking for these features over build volume and print speed? That’s a hard question to answer, and only time will tell if the Halot-One Plus becomes a popular model. The micron-level precision operation avoids the layer effect and makes the printing performance more excellent. UI: 5-inch touch screen with simple visual interface, with OTA firmware update support; Linux kernel.
The latest and trendy tech is Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). It is quite similar to DLP in that it cures resin one layer at a time, but does not use mirrors. This is part of the reason why it is typically cheaper to manufacture, which has allowed for resin 3D printer prices to drop down to FDM levels in the non-professional space. The Creality Halot-One CL-60 features 2K monochrome LCD, Wi-Fi connectivity, large 5-inch color touchscreen, new Creality proprietary light source and an impressive 130 x 82 x 160mm print volume. The printer’s specifications are very similar to those of the recently released Creality LD-002H. Performance, resolution, accuracy and uniformity on an LCD resin 3D printer like the HALOT-ONE mostly come down to the quality and precision of the UV light source. We already mentioned this particular model uses a monochrome LCD panel, which has its benefits over standard color ones. Plus, the 5.96-inch panel has a resolution of 2560*1620 pixels, which is quite respectable. This gives a print granularity of about 50 microns, which is par for the course for the popular budget resin 3D printers on the market.
As far as actual printing goes, the UI is admittedly a bit light on options. You can just browse files from both the internal storage (sent over from the PC or app) and a connected flash drive, select a file and then start the print. After that, you can only pause or cancel the print. No other options are available and there is no notification for when the printing ends. To be fair, this is usually the case of most 3D printers. The UI is nice and clean on the crisp high-definition screen. It’s easy to navigate, but if you’re used to FDM printers you’ll probably need to recalibrate your brain for the different options specific to FDM printers. Creality is supplying Halot-One with a new version of its Creality Box resin slicer , the HalotBox.
As far as the actual light source, passing through said LCD, the HALOT-ONE has a 120W, self-developed integral light source system, which promises an impressive above 80% illumination uniformity. There are a total of six light sources in the HALOT-ONE (half of what the HALOT-SKY has at 12), capable of outputting 3800uw/cm2. I had plenty of theoretical knowledge on resin printing, but zero experience so I approached reviewing the Creality HALOT-ONE from the point of view of a novice and someone who's more accustomed to FDM 3D printing. And this might just be the perfect profile of most first-time resin 3D printer afficionados. Resin 3D printing? What is it and is it better than FDM? Halot-One offers prints up to 130 x 82 x 160mm. This is exactly the same as the Creality LD-002H. Both printers look decent and have the same print volume and resolution. CPU
Creality Halot-One Plus is just the right size for a desktop resin 3D printer.
Since the start of 2021, Creality has chosen to build on its SLA portfolio, with the launch of its high-end HALOT-SKY, and as the next in line within the ‘HALOT’ range, the HALOT-ONE shares similar specs to its bigger brother. Moving forwards, the firm says that it now intends to continue investing in its LCD product lines, with the aim of “bringing extreme SLA 3D printing to a wide range of global consumers.” Creality’s HALOT-ONE features an ARMCortex M4 processor and 4-core GPU. Image via Creality. So, tl;dr - I am well-versed in 3D printing tech and have what I would call above-average practical experience with traditional FDM printing.
