Those CTC Resin printers are pretty much continuously available on EBay for $880 Buy it now price.
The reviews I've tracked down talk about high quality prints and poor build quality, with the buyers having to repair the delivered machines.
Interested to see what your experience is.

Honestly I shy away from all resin based printers. I would love to have one, but seen too many stories posted on the forums and have concerns with buying something that I will wind up getting aggravated with and hurling out a window. Maybe in the near future they will be improved on and made easier to deal with, but for now Ill stay with my trusty old rostock.

You can buy a LittleRP for less than that and have a much more open and serviceable unit than a mystery box from China. http://littlerp.bigcartel.com/product/l ... th-flexvat" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Eventually the DropLit2 will be available, too.

Yeah, just saw all the other printers just like this on eBay. My google-fu was not strong this morning :lol:
Right now very few SLA printers do well, so I wouldn't expect much out of this one. Kinda like the Chinese laser cutters, they need lots of time invested to function. Ill stick with my Rostock! More than enough for my needs :D
