About this deal

The 8K resolution of the screen is also more than enough in my opinion, and I don’t see a good reason to look into getting a 12K printer as the print quality difference can only be seen with magnification tools. The 5-inch touchscreen is a joy to use. Besides the good resolution, colors and viewing angles, it also has a plethora of options to control all the aspects of the machine. It’s also very responsive and the entire operating system is fast. Larger Build Volume] UniFormation GKtwo 3D resin printer has a larger build volume than most resin printers currently on the market at 10.3'' (228*128*245mm). If you don’t already know this, an ultrasonic cleaner works with high-frequency sound waves transmitted through the liquid inside the unit, which agitates the liquid making the small vibrations to wash the model and separate the resin from the walls of the model The unit is made from sheet metal, and it has a transparent front to see the models during curing. The bottom rotating platform of the curing station is also transparent, which helps cure the models from all sides with the help of four UV LED strips.

This washing method works best as it also cleans the inside of the model at the same time compared to regular cleaning methods used by other resin cleaning machines that rely on simply agitating the washing fluid with a propeller. GKtwo uses a parallel matrix light source with an HD resolution of 7680 x 4320 pixels and a high XY resolution of 29.6 µm. The LCD screen comes with an improved anti-scratch film, which protects it from unforeseen events such as accidental resin leaks and scratches. The sandblasted aluminum build plate is much different compared to the usual build plates we get on other resin printers. The entire design of the plate is nicely made to ensure that resin doesn’t pool on the top section to cause a mess when you remove it. It can take longer to reach a specified temperature, depending on the environmental conditions. There’s also a mention in the manual that if the environment temperature is too low, the temperature set might not reach the one selected. This is due to the fact that the printer doesn’t have a dedicated vat heating solution, but I believe it’s not a very big issue, considering that 25C to 30C should be something that you can reach without too much trouble. Carbon Air Filter I also like the rubber gasket on the cover, which is very useful to have if you are using the W230 with IPA. This insulates the contents of the washing station to prevent the alcohol from evaporating when not used. It’s also helpful in keeping any vapor trapped inside during cleaning to avoid any hazards during use.

Odor Removal Filter] UniFormation GKtwo unique odor purification circulatory system uses honeycomb carbon filters the machine absorbs most of the harmful odor normally associated with resin printing. However, should you be printing constantly and for long periods of time it is recommended to replace the filters every 15 days for optimal air purity. The default curing time for the unit is 3 minutes, but it can be adjusted according to your needs from the on-screen controls from the front of the unit.

After a few hours of troubleshooting work, the problem was solved by leveling the plate with about 10 sheets of A4 paper between the plate and the screen. Using a single piece of paper with the small paper tabs recommended by UniFormation didn’t allow me to get a good result. The printer is very easy to use. The menu is intuitively designed and responds perfectly even when wearing gloves. I find the function that allows you to view the printing hours and select the language particularly practical. The Resin Cleaner from UniFormation not only impresses with a beautiful design, which also visually matches the GKtwo 3D printer, but also with a stable structure and a generous capacity for the cleaning fluid. We asked our product tester Lukas to take a close look at three UniFormation devices. In his report, you will find out what he particularly likes about the devices, what he doesn't really like and what suggestions he would have for improvement. Have fun while reading!

Customer Reviews

Flip-up Cover] Compared to most printers, GKtwo has a vertical flip-up cover designed for a small or large home, office, or print farm space, which allows for neatly positioned side-by-side printing while not taking up much-needed space in your printing area, providing efficient simple yet high-quality printing. A second print is the Butcher Bust from Fotis Mint printed with the same settings. Again, the same problem with the bed being too close to the screen can be seen here even though I tried to level it before.
