I came across THIS printer a few days ago, but even the supplier seems reluctant to give any useful information.

Does anybody have any experience of the Duplicator 7?

If you Google it, there are various reviews including Youtube vids etc. And I see you can buy it through Aliexpress for £403 delivered.

Seems remarkably cheap for a DLP printer, although the build volume is fairly small (120mm x 68mm x 200mm). However, at that price you might be tempted to take the risk if the reviews look sensible....

Thanks Murray, your reply was very useful. Apparently the print speed is very slow and appears to require a computer connection. Not only that, but the resin seems to be quite dangerous and necessitates some protective clothing.

Only that their Prusa i3 spares prices are eye-watering...

Inspired by this I'm trying 0.025mm (0.001" layers on my Prusa. Against all the odds, it's printing an excellent print, although there's a fair bit of very fine combing I will have to remove.

I would say the surface finish approaches a milled part. Extraordinary!

But 1 hour 28 minutes for a 2-gram part!
