Will Wright’s take

Based on the specs and price

Great value

“The easy, affordable way into resin.”

Auto leveling, an AI camera and Wi-Fi at this price make resin far less intimidating. The build area is small, which is fine for miniatures. Remember resin needs ventilation, gloves and a wash-and-cure setup.
