Elegoo Mars 2 Pro Review for 2023
Specs
The Elegoo Mars 2 Pro is a reliable and capable resin 3D printer that has become a popular choice among 3D printing enthusiasts. It offers high-quality prints, easy setup and use, and a print success rate of over 95%. With a manageable build volume of 115 x 65 x 150mm and a high-resolution 2K LCD screen, the Mars 2 Pro is capable of producing detailed and accurate prints.
One of the standout features of the Mars 2 Pro is its compatibility with a variety of slicing software options, including ChiTuBox and NanoDLP, which allow you to customize and optimize your prints for the best results. The printer also has a range of safety features, including an automatic shut-off feature, to help prevent accidents and protect your investment.
What we think
While the Mars 2 Pro may not have the latest and greatest features of newer models, it is still a viable option for those looking for a high-quality resin 3D printer on a budget. In fact, at Forged Terrain, we have several of these machines still in operation and it is very hard to distinguish the final products from those of the newer Mars 3. With a current price around the £130 mark, the Mars 2 Pro is a great choice for anyone looking to start printing miniatures. Additionally, the machine is known for its durability, with a low cost to replace the LCD panel if it breaks, and its compatibility with magnetic slap plates. It also has a strong community of users who can provide support if you run into any issues. Another feature that is highly valued by users is the ability to add custom software to increase the printer’s print speed, known as “vroom”.
Alternatives
Some main competitors to the Elegoo Mars 2 Pro include the Anycubic Photon S and the Phrozen Sonic Mini. Both of these printers are also known for their excellent print quality and reliable performance and may offer features that are not available on the Mars 2 Pro. It is worth considering all of your options and doing some research to determine which printer is the best fit for your needs and budget.
