Product Information

The UI is nice and clean on the crisp high-definition screen. It’s easy to navigate, but if you’re used to FDM printers you’ll probably need to recalibrate your brain for the different options specific to FDM printers. The only "assembly" that needs to be done is to screw the building plate into its place, which is done with a big and convenient wheel for tightening and untightening. In reality, you need to get plenty of the stuff to clean any resin from surfaces, especially the plastic bottom of the resin vat. Plus, you need to ideally rinse the prints themselves. You ideally need high-percentage (90%) isopropyl alcohol, which reinforces the need for protective gear even more.

The 5-inch touchscreen of the pro version supports 14 languages including Chinese and English, making it more accessible to users worldwide. And the printing model can be rendered on the screen during the printing for better visualization. Apart from a USB port, you can connect the HALOT-ONE Pro via Wi-Fi, getting prints remotely from a PC and Creality Cloud. There is a Creality mobile app available as well, called Creality Cloud, which looks truly impressive. However, we never actually managed to connect our HALOT-ONE to it. Our best guess is that there is some sort of support update in the pipeline, since all signs seem to hint that the HALOT-ONE should ultimately be supported by the app. Elsewhere, the HALOT-ONE features an intuitive 5-inch full-view color touch screen and 127 x 80 x 160mm build volume, that’s compact and efficient compared to that of the larger HALOT-SKY, while its pre-loaded functions like the ‘Z-axis linear guide plus T-rod’ module, should help users of all abilities deliver stable print performance and reliable results.

Creality Halot-One Plus is just the right size for a desktop resin 3D printer.

I have been doing Fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing for over a year now as a hobby on and off and have owned a total of three 3D printers - my current Monoprice Select Mini V2, which is the only one I could reasonably keep with limited home space and before that Prusa i3, which replaced my original Ender 3. So, my baby steps into 3D printing as a whole were done on one of Creality's 3D printers from the ever-popular Ender line and in a poetic turn on events, I am about to venture into Resin 3D printing on another Creality product. Light source: 120W, self-developed integral light source system with over 80% illumination uniformity. 6 light sources, 3800uw/cm2 output. Just please remember that all this information was already out there, I just decided to ignore it and that’s on no one else from me. My experience is not the fault of Creality or anyone else. Just me. The only real complaint we have with the otherwise stellar build quality of the unit is the fact that the lip on which the transparent top cover is meant to rest on top of is quite slim and does not provide a secure fit. It doesn't slide off or anything, but we would have still appreciated a tighter fit. Even so, once on, the top lid does its primary job of keeping the nauseous printing fumes well contained. The USB port for flash drives is also there. You can upload files the old fashioned way, or you can connect with a cable to a computer via USB type B.

Despite having plenty of functional differences, most 3D printers tend to require the same basic set of steps to operate. First, you need to make or obtain a 3D model. These usually come in an STL file format and can be obtained fairly easily nowadays, even if you aren't particularly versed in CAD. Thingiverse is a great resource and Creality also have their own repository, named Creality Cloud. It is also a good idea to use some eye-protective gear since getting resin in your eyes would be really bad. Beyond that, HALOT BOX can automatically hollow-out parts, to save on some material. Unlike FDM printing, there is no infill percentage with resin printing. You can also use a drill tool to manually punch some holes. Over the last seven years, Creality has built up a strong portfolio of 3D printers, which has allowed it to meet the needs of clients in the high, middle and low-end desktop markets. The firm has traditionally concentrated on developing optimized FDM systems, such as its CR-6 SE and CR-30, but recently it has increasingly ventured into the LCD space.I wish I would’ve known that it does not come with any sample resin, contrasting FDM printers that typically come with at least enough filament to make a small model. It is just conveyed after profoundly tried and reviewed by Creality IQC(Quality Control Inspector). The difference is that the LD-002H does not have Wi-Fi and the resin tray is slightly less convenient. Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K
