Sean Brzozowski is working on a resin kit of the Merkava III Israel battle tank at a scale of 1/48. He's discovered that using his Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K printer with Aqua Red Clay 8K resin is the way to go for crafting the "ball and chain" armour, and will later attaching it to the back of its turret.     Surprisingly, the settings he is using for printing this tiny object does not requires particularly slow moving speed of the plate, and he also does not hesitate to have the supports thicker and bulker than the object that his is printing. "N o magic, just good tools and patience" he said.      Here is his result and settings. For those who is trying to print Phrozen's Aqua Red Clay 8K with Sonic Mini 8K should give it a try. ▲ The printed out 1/48 "ball and chain" armour.

Getting your resin settings right is crucial to achieving a successful print. This is particularly important for those who are aiming for the utmost detail and precision. However, it's often the case that companies only provide resin profiles for their own products—or sometimes they don't provide them at all.      For newcomers to the scene, it can be quite frustrating to spend the majority of their time fine-tuning settings. Moreover, what works perfectly on one printer might not produce the same results on another. This discrepancy arises from the variations inherent to different devices, which shows the necessity to tailor resin settings accordingly.      With that in mind, let's delve into the experience shared by Derek Jackson from J3DTech, also a Phrozen community member. He gives us some insight into the process of refining resin settings. Here's my take on the information: To dial in a resin, there are two main factors

Sui-Wah Wong, a member of Phrozen's community on a Taiwanese Facebook group, recently showcased his creation of a prosthetic for a dog with disabilities. ▲ The short video Wong has been shared on Facebook.      Wong is a devoted animal lover, a owner of a vintage film-camera repair workshop. He's also an active volunteer with a local stray rescue and adoption group called " 我們的動物緣 ", meaning "our serendipity with animals", situated in Ji'an, Hualian, Taiwan. Given his background in CAD and 3D printing from his camera repair business—where he crafts rare parts for classic film cameras—he found himself motivated to start exploring designing and 3D printing prosthetics for animals with disabilities. ▲ Wong's design of prosthetic for a dog with disabilities.      Despite his familiarity with CAD and 3D printing, the realm of designing assi

Just the day before the pre-order of Phrozen's Sonic Mega 8K S, we had a live stream where we introduce and demonstrate some of the features of the new released printer. During the live session, there are some questions in the comment section that we could not answer them on live one by one, so we are now gather them here and reply to them. If you have any further questions, please leave us a comment and we will try to answer them.

Sonic Mega 8K has the largest printing volume of Phrozen's Sonic 3D printer line-up by the time of writing this article. Except the size, perforated build plate that comes with Sonic Mega 8K is also an obvious different from other models in the Sonic line-up.     The reason Sonic Mega 8K comes with a perforated build plate is that, lager the scale the model is, or fuller the build plate, higher the suction force it has to deal with, also longer the time you have to wait for the resin to travel back to its place after retraction. The perforated build plate of Sonic Mega 8K can effectively helps reducing the suction force especially when printing the raft, and also letting resin traveling back to its position after retraction more quickly, preventing model from peeling off from the plate and layer lines happening.     Some people may find it inconvenient working with perforated build plate, as in the slicing software, there is no indicator
