Halot-One is offered at nearly the same price. However, the LD-002H prints models with excellent surface quality. March24, 2022, CHITUBOX Basic V1.9.2 released officially, 9 popular printers uploaded, extended machine parameter settings, and new attempts will bring you a marvelous 3D printing experience. We will, however, note that HALOT BOX exhibited some bugs specifically with support generation. Creality did send us a newer version of the software, with mostly all of these cleared up, though, which we count as an overall positive, since the company seems serious about its software support. The differences between budget resin 3D printers in the same price range can be significant, despite many of them having the same features.

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. It is just conveyed after profoundly tried and reviewed by Creality IQC(Quality Control Inspector). Likewise, the HALOT-ONE’s proprietary mainboard is powered by an ARMCortex M4 processor and 4-core GPU. As a result, the machine is built for prolonged use, efficiency and low power consumption, while remaining capable of parsing every point and slicing files of any given model, making it an accessible but highly-competent desktop system. Resin 3D printing is a totally different process. Instead of hard filament that gets melted down, it uses resin as its raw material, which comes in liquid form. This liquid is basically composed of a mixture of different monomers and oligomers - short chains made mostly of carbon atoms and a few functional groups. Left in this state, they will remain in liquid form. The goal is to create longer chains using these monomers and oligomers which will eventually form the hard-plastic material for our 3D prints. This hardening or curing is achieved by precisely introducing UV light into areas of the liquid resin, hardening it and then moving on to the next layer. On a purely mechanical level, the process typically involves a base plate that is upside down and submerged in a pool of resin and as the printing progresses, gets pulled up layer by layer. Last, but not least, there is a 16GB USB flash drive in the box, which contains software and the user manual and can also be used to load up ready print files and take them from a PC to the printer. Again, we appreciate the added convenience.

Creality Halot Series Resin: HALOT-SKY Resin

Elsewhere, the HALOT-ONE features an intuitive 5-inch full-view color touch screen and 127 x 80 x 160mm build volume, that’s compact and efficient compared to that of the larger HALOT-SKY, while its pre-loaded functions like the ‘Z-axis linear guide plus T-rod’ module, should help users of all abilities deliver stable print performance and reliable results. The funny thing is that the guys at Creality clearly know all this and even provide nifty filtering funnels in the box, it's just the manual that falls short of providing instruction about it. Resin is messy. Be prepared with rubber gloves, paper towels, and isopropyl alcohol. I’d recommend a wash and cure station to make your life a lot easier.

I had no idea how much resin I needed and what was “normal”. Is it normal for the resin to go above the print area of the print surface? How much resin should I be using for a print? Do I need to wipe anything down ahead of time? How do I properly clean my printer when I’m done? Do I need to prep anything so the prints come off easily when they’re done? I’m sure the information is out there, it just wasn’t readily apparent in what I had available to me.

Creality Halot-One Plus is just the right size for a desktop resin 3D printer.

CHITUBOX Basic V1.9.2also fixed some bugs that we found out in the prior versionwhich enables it with greater performance and improves stability. Provide our customers with better technical support and customer service. We printed some test models, many of which with sub-mm details and the HALOT-ONE basically breezed through them all. Mind you, there is the occasional defect you will probably notice in our prints, but most of these were due to errors on our end. 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.
