Dear 3d printing Jewelers

i’m new at 3D printing and finally i’m willing to buy a 3D printer very soon.

i am a jewelry designer and model maker for about 25 years, after i made a big research on the best 3D printers in 2017 for jewelry with the best resolution and printing space i found out B9 v1.2 & Titan 2HR .

could you please advice me which is the best for jewelry finish, fast and less headache?

and which one have better cast able resin that works with old school casting system

your help is so much appreciated

I have exact same question as you are. I even requested sample models to do some casting. B9 casting was good but low resolution, however now they come up with high resolution machine but smaller build platform and very expensive. B9 is strong machine and has great user base though.

Kudo’s resin was no good for casting but they came up with new brand and will send me another ring samples (My own stl file design) to cast. I am leaning toward Kudo Titan 2 HR for the price and resolution, however user base is very thin and I did not find any actual printing video yet in Youtube or not much talking about Kudo in 3D community which make me nervous to jump in. I will try to cast the ring samples with their new resin line (Very cheep $85/.50L) and see if it cast good.

You can talk to catherinepark@kudo3d.com

Thank you Kyu_Kim,

please tell me did they send the sample out of the latest B9 V1.2? (its the latest machine they have as i know) and what was the resolution on the sample that they have sent you?

about Kudo i guess it’s open for many resin brands , but it seems to be slower than B9 on detailed objects, beside the user base is very small.

please keep me posted to will happen when u get the final result out of casting, so much appreciated :slight_smile:

Hi, you received a low resolution piece from B9? B9Creator has a higher resolution than the Titan so I’m not sure of where you received your model but it should have been better than the titan.

I have attached a picture of a print I did the other day on our B9 Core Series 530 and 550. These are the fastest high-resolution printers currently on the market. Both of these prints were done in 22 and 25 minutes.

wow this looks great enough for the finish, how about the B9 creator? dose it gives the same quality?

thanks in advanced … :slight_smile:

Both of these models were printed on the B9v1.2 at 30 microns sliced at 30 microns.
