Creality has established itself as a market leader in the budget FDM 3D printer world for the best-seller Ender series. For resin printer lovers who pursue high accuracy in details, Creality has several competitive offerings too, and this buyer's guide will recap the differences in specs of the HALOT-ONE series aimed at providing a premium user experience for 3d printing beginners and FDM printer users who plan to choose their first resin printers.
One of the main features of the HALOT series is Creality's self-develop Integral Light Source technology. Unlike the Parallel Emission technology you could find in most resin printers, it offers enhanced lighting intensity, super precise printing, and excellent lighting evenness. According to the data from Creality Lab, while Parallel Emission only achieves 73.4% surface evenness, Integral Light Source can produce up to 90% evenness, increasing printing accuracy.
HALOT-ONE - the basic HALOT version
The HALOT-ONE has a 6-inch 2K LCD monochrome screen with a 2560 x 1620 pixels resolution, Wi-Fi connectivity, a large 5-inch color touchscreen, and a 127*80*160mm build volume. Powered by an ARM Cortex-M4 CPU, HALOT-ONE brings you over-the-par performance at an affordable price.
Creality's first resin slicer Creality Box can give you a simple and straightforward slicing experience, but other software options are available, including ChiTuBox and Lychee.
Resin odor is one factor that keeps some users from using resin printers. The HALOT-ONE's air filtration system with the activated charcoal filter will help filter out the fumes effectively.
Originally priced at $289, HALOT-ONE only costs $145 at Halloween special discount if purchased at Creality Official Store. If you plan to pick your first printer, the HALOT-ONE can be your best choice to try out at a minimum price.
HALOT-ONE Pro - for better performance
As the suffix "Pro" suggests, the HALOT-ONE Pro has better specs than the HALOT-ONE. Debuted in April this year, the HALOT-ONE Pro carries a larger build volume of 130 x 122 x 160 mm, and a 7.05-inch 3K monochrome LCD with a 2560 x 2400 resolution. It also integrates Wi-Fi connectivity, air filtration, and remote control features.
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.
Unlike the HALOT-ONE, the pro version is equipped with dual z-axis linear rails that give the printer extra stability and layer accuracy.
The HALOT-ONE Pro is at the price point of $349, but a $51 discount is available. For those who are new to 3d printing and have the budget to buy a resin printer with better specs, the HALOT-ONE Pro will live up to your expectation.
HALOT-ONE Plus - for larger build volume
The HALOT-ONE Plus has a 7.9-inch 4K monochrome screen with a 4320 x 2560 resolution. With a large build volume of 172 x 102 x 160 mm, the plus version unlocks more creative possibilities. In addition to remote features, you can also add a camera module to the printer to view the prints in real time.
Like the pro version, it has dual linear rails offering stability, better print quality, and an integrated air filtration system to remove odors. If you prefer a large printer with a budget under $400, this HALOT-ONE Plus at $399 can be a premium choice. Creality will offer an 85% discount during October 10-October 30, meaning that you can get one for only $339 and share the joy of Halloween with others.
Resin printers have been widely applied in not only making action figures but also industries including dentistry, jewelry, and architecture design, where high accuracy in details is required. The three models of the HALOT-ONE are available at store.creality.com in the United States and store.creality.com/de in European countries. There are various discounts for you to explore at their official store.
