Description of Nova3D Bene 4
Nova3D Bene 4 is a modern and one of best resin 3D printers under $500 . It is equipped with a hinged cover, which makes operation easier – unlike a removable cover, it can be opened with one hand and you do not have to look for where to put it. Robust and stable all-metal body and linear guide with ball screws ensure stable printing.
The 2K LCD screen provides 10% more uniform illumination than previous models, saving 8% energy. Find out more about the features of Bene 4 below.
Features of Nova3D Bene 4
The touch control display with a diagonal of 4.3 inches is informative and has a user-friendly interface.
The printer is equipped with 8 GB of memory, can download models for printing via Wi-Fi and online, which makes it more convenient to work with multiple machines at the same time.
The legs of the photopolymer bath protect against damage to the FEP film by friction against the backlight screen, preventing polymer spillage and maintaining the quality of prints. The inner walls are chamfered, which makes it easier to drain the polymer into bottles when printing is interrupted. The bath, as well as the printing platform, are made by milling on a CNC machine, and not by casting, which ensures their dimensional accuracy.
Print volume Nova3D Bene 4 allows you to create objects with dimensions up to 130x70x150 mm.
The most simple and familiar calibration: set the platform to the lower position and adjust the pressure with a sheet of paper – it should pass between the platform and the screen with resistance.
Side inward access to disconnect the LCD wires when replacing, makes replacing the light source simple and safe by eliminating the possibility of accidentally ripping off the ribbon.
The manufacturer provides a one-year warranty for the printer, excluding the FEP film and backlight screen, and also provides lifetime technical support.
Pros and cons of Nova3D Bene 4
Pros
- The hinged lid is very convenient.
- Excellent print quality.
- Thoughtful and high quality bath.
- Wi-Fi connection.
Cons
- The USB connector is on the back, which is inconvenient.
- Proprietary file format. NovaMaker software is not the most convenient, and when using Chitubox or Prusaslicer, you will have to convert the model files.
- The hinged lid requires space behind the printer, it cannot be placed close to the wall, which somewhat reduces the compactness.
