I’ve created the start of a proposed Open Resin Printer Reviewing Framework which takes the best of existing tests and builds upon it so I can provide consistent and insightful reviews for you.

Testing a resin printer is a bit different from testing a standard filament (FDM) printer. While FDM is about mechanical endurance, resin printing is a game of precision, light uniformity, and ergonomics. Because let’s be honest: resin is messy. A "good" printer isn't just one that prints well; it's one that doesn't make you regret your hobby every time you have to clean the vat.

Hi I’m Lewis and this is DIY Machines, the online channel where I get to share with you step by-step how to build awesome things and use cool tools and in the above video - we’ll going to subject the Halot X1 resin printer by PeoCreat (a sub brand of Creality) to this newly proposed battery of tests with the help of these CNC blocks manufactured by PCBWay.
