If you own a 3D printing business like a miniature farm or print-on-demand service, the efficiency of large-scale production is going to be crucial to your business.
We understand that for businesses, time is money.
Reducing production time means fulfilling more orders and increasing revenue. In this case, choosing the right 3D printer will be significant. The ideal business 3D printer will help you increase productivity while maintaining output quality and keeping costs low. With this in mind, we specially designed the Sonic Mega 8K S.
As a low-budget production printer, the Sonic Mega 8K S was equipped with everything a printer needs to be a production beast: a new high-speed system for faster printing and a 15” perforated build plate to print more per batch. With that said, it doesn’t mean printing quality was sacrificed. Instead, the Sonic Mega 8K S reigns superior with its 43 µm 8K resolution, standing tall next to its older brother—the Sonic Mega 8K, as the highest-resolution large-size consumer LCD 3D printer in the market.
But apart from its large size and 8K screen, what’s so special about the Sonic Mega 8K S?
Introducing the Sonic Mega 8K S
Launched on August 9, 2023, the Sonic Mega 8K S is the second printer on Phrozen’s Mega Series. After first launching the Sonic Mega 8K as the one and only 8K printer, we’re now expanding our product line to cater more to your various needs.
If the Sonic Mini 8K S was created to be the affordable printer for the masses*, the Sonic Mega 8K S was created as a productivity beast to help you boost production and efficiency while keeping it affordable.
Brand New High-Speed System
The Sonic Mega 8K S debuted Phrozen’s new high-speed system and mainboard to make 3D printing in large-sized printers faster than ever. It provides two different speed settings that are adjustable according to your needs:
-
Fast Printing Mode
With fast printing mode, you can boost your production to print 600 layers/hour. During our test, we managed to produce 72 of 1/32 scale army models in just two hours with the fast-printing mode and TR300 resin. -
Normal Printing Mode
Even when printing with the normal mode, you can still comfortably print up to 400 layers/hour. Still super fast, even for the normal mode.
Lift-Up Lid Opening
If you don’t have much room in your workshop or studio, and the Sonic Mega 8K looks like it’s going to take up much space with its double-door design, the Sonic Mega 8K S might just be perfect for you.
The Sonic Mega 8K S rocks the lift-up lid style with the fluorescent green cover previously seen on the Sonic Mini 8K S. It still offers easy access to your prints, but now it looks slimmer and easier to handle with one hand. In addition, that pop of color will easily brighten up any room it is in.
Built-In Drip Hanger
Having a creative 3D makers community, we understand that a drip hanger will help you save the resin dripping off of your models after printing and makes cleaning the top part of your build plate more convenient.
A DIY 3D printing hook is helpful for smaller printers like the Mighty or Mini, but when it comes to a mega printer, the building plate itself, along with lots of models attached, it can get very heavy. In this case, a DIY 3D printed hook or hanger might not be the safest as the DIY hanger could break and potentially cause damage to your printed models or machine. Therefore, we add a built-in all-metal build-plate hook on the Sonic Mega 8K S to make it convenient and ensure your safety.
Pump & Fill Compatible
To make the Sonic Mega 8K S an even more powerful printer suitable for 3D printing businesses, the Sonic Mega 8K system is also integrable with the new Phrozen Pump & Fill—an automated resin feeder, so you can adjust the settings directly from the printer touch panel.
The Pump & Fill sensor will detect when your vat is running low on resin and add more according to its needs. In addition, it also boasts the resin auto-pump function to suck the remaining resin out of the vat once your finish printing to avoid resin separation, and so you’ll always have a fresh vat each time you start printing.
The Reliable Productivity Beast
If you’re looking to increase your production and print more in a short amount of time, then definitely consider getting the Sonic Mega 8K S. Equipped with dual linear rails and ACF film, printing large models is ultra-stable with higher success rates. In addition, when combined with fast-curing resin with low viscosity like the TR300, you can speed up your printing even further, maximizing the Sonic Mega 8K S speed and production to its maximum potential.
Lastly, if you are interested in the new giant model we use on the launch video, you can get Clamp Ghost by Biosquare on PIXUP now.

Does this printer support the multi parameter slice option in chitubox?

Hello Jim, Thank you for commenting.
We are now developing the multi parameter slice function on Sonic Mighty 8K (and upgraded 12K) and Sonic Mega 8K S, by updating the firmware to implement this function in the future.
