The Taiwanese company Phrozen has announced a new model of the Sonic Mini 3K S 8D printer, which is a more budgetary version of the photopolymer additive system. This printer is based on LCD stereolithography mask technology and is designed to provide the user with an affordable and high quality 3D printing solution.

There are almost no significant differences in the new Sonic Mini 8K S compared to the previous Sonic Mini 8K released in the fall of 2021. Some design changes were made, including replacing the two Z-rails with one and changing the color of the hubcap from orange to yellow. These changes helped reduce the height of the printable area and the weight of the printer.

 

The main features of the Sonic Mini 8K S have remained virtually unchanged. The printable area has been reduced in height by 10mm to 165x72x170mm, and the resolution of the LCD matrix is ​​still 8K with a pixel size of 22µm. Z-axis productivity reaches 80 mm/h. Changes also affected the location of the USB port, which was moved from the front panel to the side. The liquid resin bath is still made of metal with FEP film. One of the two vertical guides has been removed, and the print platform is adorned with an adhesive pattern made with a laser engraver.

However, the main advantage of the Sonic Mini 8K S is its affordable price. The manufacturer's website currently offers pre-orders for the Sonic Mini 8K S for $450, while the Sonic Mini 8K S variant, complete with a bottle of Aqua 8K photopolymer resin, is available for $300 or even $270 if you order before May 17 via a special link. .
