Workhorse small-format resin printer. Fast, reliable, and the best dollars-to-detail ratio we've used at this build volume.
View on AmazonElegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K
Large-format resin with all the modern features — heated vat, smart release, and a 16K mono panel that pulls out the detail.
View on AmazonAnycubic ABS-Like Pro v2
Best affordable resin we've found for functional parts. Good toughness, solid layer adhesion, forgiving print settings.
View on AmazonSiraya Tech Tenacious Resin
When a part has to take a hit. Rubbery, high-impact resin we blend into stiffer formulations for production pieces that need to survive abuse.
View on AmazonQIDI Q2 FDM Printer
270×270 workhorse for production FDM runs. Fast, heated chamber, and consistent enough to leave on overnight without worrying.
View on AmazonQIDI Max4 390×390 Combo
Multi-material giant with serious speeds. When a job needs a big envelope, multiple colors, or both, the Max4 is what we fire up.
View on AmazonPolymaker PLA PRO
Great prototyping material. Consistent diameter, tight tolerances, and a color range that photographs well — our default PLA for client work.
View on AmazonPolymaker ASA
When parts have to stand up to stress. UV-stable, tougher than PLA, and weathers outdoor use without getting chalky.
