Anycubic Photon Mono 4
Budget; gloves, filters and isopropyl are the running cost
The cheapest resin printer worth buying, with the same 17 µm pixels as machines twice the price. In a footprint smaller than a toaster it resolves detail no filament machine can reach, which is the entire reason to own one.
It has none of the features that catch a failure for you: leveling is manual, the vat is unheated, there is no camera, and transfer is over USB because WiFi is reserved for the Ultra tier. You are the failure detection. The wash and cure station takes more desk than the printer does and is sold separately.
Best at: Resin detail at the lowest price that is not a compromise.
Worst at: Everything automatic, because none of it is.
