However, the X and Y-planes are also very important in a high resolution 3D printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The X and Y axes control the 2D parts of the print: those within each 2D layer.

A well-thought-out printer, the Ender 3 V2 remedies many of the misgivings of its predecessor while still keeping the asking price affordable to even the most budget-restrained makers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The belt tensioners, 4.2.2 32-bit mainboard, and silent stepper motor drivers do a lot to present what feels like a far more modern printer compared to the Ender 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the context of low-cost high-resolution 3D printer performance, the Ender 3 V2 spec sheet doesn&#8217;t exactly wow, with a middling 100-micron layer resolution. But, don&#8217;t be fooled; high-resolution printing is defined by more resolution alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In action, the Ender 3 V2 assembles with a level of accuracy that feels inordinately good for a low-cost FDM printer. With few visible, warping, or layering issues with an excellent overall quality for larger parts and respectable results for smaller, detailed parts. And, coupled with that is a suitably large build volume &#8211; 220 x 220 x 250 mm to be exact &#8211; for larger projects and even small-scale batch printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the price, you additionally get to play with a decent range of materials &#8211; PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU. The only caveat is you&#8217;ll need to stick to more straightforward prints, those relatively free of intricate embossing, minute detail, tight arches, and the like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our experience, the Ender 3 V2 shines best when used to create household items such as plant pots or, say, vases, figurines, toys, accessories, and similar items. We&#8217;d wager it also packs in enough printing aptitude for a modest business selling non-geometrically complex products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be warned; the Ender 3 V2 is very much a hobby kit printer, requiring its fair share of tinkering to perform at its best. Curious beginners up for a challenge and seasoned makers should find this a gratifying part of the printing process, but green newcomers may prefer an option a little lighter on the &#8216;hands-on&#8217; aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliate-plugin-lasso\"><div id=\"lasso-anchor-id-23133-11418\" class=\"lasso-container\">\n    <!-- LASSO DISPLAY BOX

The Elegoo Mars 2 is capable of such accurate resin models that it is increasingly used for casting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/rankings\/3d-printed-jewelry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"5459\">3D printed jewelry<\/a> molds before having them made into gold or other metal rings, bracelets, and chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-fe1cb2d7\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 256 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M224.3 273l-136 136c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.6-22.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l96.4-96.4-96.4-96.4c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9L54.3 103c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l136 136c9.5 9.4 9.5 24.6.1 34z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\"><strong>Read more:<\/strong> our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printer-reviews\/elegoo-mars-2-pro-review-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"5460\">Elegoo Mars 2 Pro review &amp; test prints<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an MSLA printer, the Elegoo Mars prints resin models that outperform its FDM counterparts, with high resolution 3D prints that barely show their layers. The 6-inch 2K LCD screen makes for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printers\/fastest-3d-printer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"5461\">fast 3D printing<\/a>, able to cure a layer every 2 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the Mars 2 Pro\u2019s CNC machined aluminum structure improves stability, eliminating outside vibrations that could affect a precise 3D printed model\u2019s detailed features. Moreover, the new and improved build plate is designed for better adhesion and better quality outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The printer is accessible in 12 languages, so non-English speakers needn\u2019t worry, and if you do have any problems with your Elegoo Mars 2 Pro, the company will replace it with its 1-year warranty. Overall, it\u2019s a great, high-quality 3D printer for cheap and precise resin part production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"

<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Yet another iterative upgrade to a respected family of resin printers, the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K is another impressive option for those high-res 3D printer heads out there. It\u2019s no understatement to count the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K among the top cheap high-resolution 3D printers out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the hood, the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K sports, you guessed it, a 4K LCD panel capable of a pixel resolution of 35 microns, a 15-micron improvement on its predecessor. In layman&#8217;s terms, this equates to a smooth finish and fine detail in every print, both immediately apparent to the naked eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imperfections are near indistinguishable, and, dare we say it; the results are as close to perfection as we&#8217;ve seen in this price range in the overwhelming majority of prints. The Anycubic Photon Mono 4K also nips through prints with a more-than-respectable sub 2 second layer cure time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For us, the printer brims with hobby potential. We&#8217;d be hard-pressed to pinpoint an application where it doesn&#8217;t impress. That said, the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K comes into its element with 3D models and similar display items thanks to its propensity for carving out detailed features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like other resin printers, the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K comes with its fair share of mess and requires strict adherence to a regular cleaning regimen. The absence of a resume function and an occasionally temperamental native slicer feel like unfortunate oversights. But, these are minor gripes for an otherwise excellent low-priced, small form factor resin printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliate-plugin-lasso\"><div id=\"lasso-anchor-id-23204-11420\"

back and arguably better than ever, with a new numeral slapped on for good measure. Fast, beautifully detailed, compact, and cost-effective, the Elegoo Mars 3 also sports the specs we like to see in high-resolution-geared resin printers, namely a 6.6-inch 4K Ultra Monochrome LCD and a razor-thin 35-micron resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketing and technical blather aside, Elegoo Mars 3 delivers impressively detailed results with clean edges and on-point accuracy suitable for even the most demanding resin projects. A larger build volume than the Mars 2 Pro, tallying up to 143 x 90 x 165 mm, also lends itself to larger prints while keeping up those minute features and finer details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re particularly impressed with how well the printer fares when tackling figurines, toys, and models, even what we deem large ones for a resin printer. Best of all, the Elegoo Mars 3 sticks to the Mars tradition of no-nonsense printers that perform to the same high standard day-in, day-out. In other words, a workhorse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite some reservations about the flimsy lid and the lack of features like air filtration and Wi-Fi connectivity, we highly recommend the Elegoo Mars 3 for makers, hobbyists, and businesses looking for a cheap high-resolution 3D printer. Note that the Elegoo Mars 3 is tied to the ChiTuBox slicer and won\u2019t work with third-party alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliate-plugin-lasso\"><div id=\"lasso-anchor-id-23205-11421\" class=\"lasso-container\">\n    <!-- LASSO DISPLAY BOX (https:\/\/getlasso.co) -->\n\t<div class=\"lasso-display lasso-cactus lasso-url-elegoo-mars-3 \">\n\t\t<!-- BADGE -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-badge\">\n\t\t\t\tPremium Resin Pick\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t<!-- LASSO TITLE, PRICE, DESC, AND IMAGE -->\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"lasso-title\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/elegoo-mars-3\/\" data-lasso-box-trackable=\"true\" data-lasso-id=\"23205\" data-lasso-name=\"Elegoo Mars 3 4K Resin 3D Printer\" title=\"Elegoo Mars 3 4K Resin 3D Printer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">\n\t\t\t\t\tElegoo Mars 3 4K Resin 3D Printer\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-price\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-price-value\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"discount-price\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"latest-price\">$320<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-2\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"lasso-image\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/elegoo-mars-3\/\" data-lasso-box-trackable=\"true\" data-lasso-id=\"23205\" data-lasso-name=\"Elegoo Mars 3 4K Resin 3D Printer\" title=\"Elegoo Mars 3 4K Resin 3D Printer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">\n\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Elegoo-Mars-3.webp\" height=\"500\" width=\"500\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Elegoo Mars 3 4K Resin 3D Printer\">\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<!-- BUTTONS -->\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-3\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"lasso-button-1\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/elegoo-mars-3\/\" data-lasso-box-trackable=\"true\" data-lasso-id=\"23205\" data-lasso-name=\"Elegoo Mars 3 4K Resin 3D Printer\" title=\"Elegoo Mars 3 4K Resin 3D Printer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">\n\t\t\t\tElegoo Store here\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"lasso-button-2\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B095K3JWP3\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?tag=3dsourced-20\" data-lasso-box-trackable=\"true\" data-lasso-id=\"23205\" data-lasso-name=\"Elegoo Mars 3 4K Resin 3D Printer\" title=\"Elegoo Mars 3 4K Resin 3D Printer\" data-lasso-button=\"2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">\n\t\t\t\t\tAmazon here\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<!-- DISCLOSURE & DATE -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-5\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-disclosure\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>We earn a commission if you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-6\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-date\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-prusa-i3-mk3s\">Prusa i3 MK3S+<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Price: $749 kit \/ $999 assembled<\/strong> \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.prusa3d.com\/en\/51-original-prusa-i3-mk3s#a_aid=3dsourced&amp;a_cid=11111111&amp;chan=code3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"5466\">Available on Prusa Store here<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Build volume:<\/strong> 250 x 210 x 200 mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Type of 3D printer<\/strong>: FDM 3D printer &amp;

sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the numbers underpinning the Formlabs Form 3 &#8211; chiefly, a 145 x 145 x 185 mm build volume and 25-micron resolution &#8211; isn\u2019t exactly a head-turner. However, Formlabs\u2019 innovative LFS tech is the type of innovation we like to see. The real sophistication lies in just how easy the printer is to use. With the Formlabs Form 3, the onus is on the machine to do its thing, no faffing and no babysitting required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, the results follow. Equipped with high-quality resin, the Formlabs Form 3 performs exceptionally to yield beautifully finished and detailed prints suitable for commercial ends. Print failures are all but nonexistent; you\u2019d need to physically shake the machine during a print to trigger anything resembling errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You do pay a hefty premium for the pleasure of owning a Formlabs Form 3. However, the expense is quickly recouped in time saved alone by the set-a-task-and-forget nature of the printer, something that could conceivably prove invaluable in a fast-paced commercial environment.

The process involves depositing melted filament in layers on a fixed build platform using a heated extruder to create models. FDM falls on the lower end of the high-res spectrum and is generally favored as a low-cost alternative to more expensive technologies. FDM printers commonly offer resolutions in the 50 to 200 microns range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"resin-sla-dlp-lcd\">Resin (SLA, DLP, LCD)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Photopolymerization, commonly known as resin 3D printing, involves projecting a laser or light source to cure liquid light-sensitive resin into layers. Specific technologies include Stereolithography (SLA), Low Force Stereolithography (LFS), Masked Stereolithography Apparatus (MSLA), and Digital Light Processing (DLP).&nbsp; Resin printers commonly hit layer resolutions as low as 25 to 35 microns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"mjf-multi-jet-fusion\">MJF &#8211; Multi Jet Fusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Multi-Jet Modeling, or Material Jetting, uses inkjet print heads to jet melted materials layer by layer to create a 3D part or model. Expensive and highly accurate, MJF printers are the reserve of large businesses with deep coffers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"polyjet-photopolymer-jetting\">PolyJet &#8211; Photopolymer Jetting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Printers that employ PolyJet, or Photopolymer Jetting, rely on layers of photo-sensitive liquid photopolymer resin jetted via print heads then cured thanks to a UV light source to create prints. Much like MJF, PolyJet involves considerable expense, although the printers are generally smaller in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"high-resolution-3d-printer-faqs\">High-Resolution 3D Printer FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-59e457ea uagb-faq-icon-row uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-false uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height\" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-faq-item uagb-block-b8bd35b3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\"><span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M432 256c0 17.69-14.33 32.01-32 32.01H256v144c0 17.69-14.33 31.99-32 31.99s-32-14.3-32-31.99v-144H48c-17.67 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.33-31.99 32-31.99H192v-144c0-17.69 14.33-32.01 32-32.01s32 14.32 32 32.01v144h144C417.7 224 432 238.3 432 256z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M400 288h-352c-17.69 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.31-31.99 32-31.99h352c17.69 0 32 14.3 32 31.99S417.7 288 400 288z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"uagb-question\"><strong>Are High-Resolution 3D Prints Stronger?<\/strong><\/span><\/div><p class=\"uagb-faq-content\">No, the opposite. As a general rule, thicker layers (or a lower resolution) generate tougher results. This is because they minimize the number of contact points between layers. Fewer layers interfacing with one another means a lower likelihood of bond strength issues.<br><br>But, print strength relies on many factors, including layer adhesion and height, extruder and bed temperature, material quality and type, and the printing technology employed. A definitive answer is more related to the specific printer than the resolution.

Since high-resolution printing is synonymous with thinner layers, the print speed is generally slower than lower-res printing. High-resolution 3D printing sacrifices print speed in favor of accuracy. Exact timings depend on the desired resolution, the technologies underpinning the printer in use, such as resin or MJF, and the complexity of the model.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We also have an article about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/guides\/3d-printing-dimensional-accuracy-precision\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"21705\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"11169\">how to maximize dimensional accuracy and precision in 3D printing<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Resolution is a much-misunderstood aspect of accurate 3D printing, and there are many important factors that affect print quality beyond just layer height.
