ELEGOO Mars 2

This printer has served me well. It comes at a very low price point but it reliably delivers high-quality prints. It is very simple to set up and use. A beginner can print a high-quality model and have it in his or her hands just a few hours later. The screen receives adequate airflow inside, thus far outlasting competitors that need to constantly change out the screen. It is also highly durable. I left it unattended in a garage for several months during the heat of Arizonan summer and yet it picked up and printed again as if nothing had happened. Every single time that a print has failed on this machine, it is because I did something egregiously wrong with the build plate, FEP film, or slicer settings. When I have everything set up properly, it is hard to fail.

This is a great printer, though it has its flaws being a budget resin printer. The software (ChituBox) is an annual subscription of about 160€ if you want/need the full capabilities of it. I highly recommend it for people who already know the basics of resin 3D printing.
