It’s an urge all owners of desktop 3D printers have to deal with sooner or later. While FDM 3D printing technology can obviously achieve a lot, its 3D printing resolution pales in comparison to that of DLP and SLA 3D printers. Fortunately for our wallets, it’s a comparison that never leads to anything because those models are usually far out of the price range of home users. But that might not be the case any longer. Chinese startup MakeX, who created a lot of buzz back in 2014 with their competitively priced M-One 3D printer, are now back with the ultra-high precision M-Jewelry DLP 3D printer, which starts at just $1,999 USD and reaches resolution levels good enough for dental and jewelry applications.
It’s a 3D printer that also builds on a lot of experience, as startup MakeX (from Ningbo, China) previously dealt with all aspects of 3D printer manufacturing with the M-One. Back in 2014, they were able to gather a massive $180,000 USD in Kickstarter pledges for that 3D printer. The M-Jewelry builds on that experience, and is also a compact, sleek quiet and efficient 3D printer that stands out due to its very appealing price tag. It has also been under development since 2014, and every new lesson from their MakeX’s Kickstarter challenge was incorporated into this new machine.
But while the M-One was a one-model-fits-all type 3D printer with a d...
