6 Benefits of Phrozen Verified Models According to the Experts

Have you ever looked at one of those resin 3D printing videos on Instagram and immediately thought to yourself, 'How on earth can they achieve such smooth models without support marks?!'

Well, we're about to tell you how.

While it's possible to just remove support marks by sanding them off and following a proper post-processing guide, it'll be way more satisfying (and definitely more time-effective) to have your models pretty much free from support marks straight out of the build plate.

The easiest way to reduce support marks is definitely by making its tip diameter smaller, reducing touching points with your models for easier post-processing. However, it also comes with some big risks, like your model falling out mid-prints or visible shifts in layer lines due to improper supports and weight distribution.

Everything has pros and cons, but what if we tell you that you can achieve clean models without visible support marks straight from the plate, increasing the success rate while also reducing the amount of resin used on supports?

If you're a fan of PIXUP, you might have already been familiar with this easy way to start 3D printing in 2024 — Phrozen Verified (PV). Created and verified by the skillful 3D printing professionals at Phrozen, PV ensures that every model is printed at its best with minimum support marks and optimized support placements, at the same time using less resin that is often spent on supports.

Ideal for Those Who Don't Want to Waste Time

As one of the group experts in various Phrozen community groups, Ondrej takes it into his own hands to try out the PV model.

He used the Sonic Mini 8K S to print out the model from Nickey's Hatchery to maximize the details he could get from this model.

Ondrej thinks the supports on PV models are very easy to remove without leaving any significant marks, making it ideal for those who don't know how to support the models that well or don't want to waste time with it. With these PV models, all he needs to do is just choose the right parameter.

Benefits:

• Supports don’t leave any significant marks.
• Great for those who don’t know how to support models.
• Ideal for those who don’t want to waste time tinkering with the supports.

Watch below to see how easy it was to remove the supports.

Support Removal Was Damn Easy

Francois from Chestnut Ink — another expert from the group — also went ahead and gave it a try.

In his review video, he highlights not only the final results but also how the models are supported. Francois mentioned that the models have all been oriented correctly with minimum support size that won't leave any marks, just like how he likes it to be. In addition to the usual supports, some micro-supports are also cleverly added for extra stability without damaging the appearance of the models.

As part of the group who prefer to remove supports before curing, Francois highlighted that support removal on these models is damn easy, especially after warming the parts with warm water, definitely a good choice for those who want a more seamless post-processing.

Benefits:

• All models have been correctly oriented and supported.
• Cleverly placed micro-supports for extra stability.
• Super easy support removal.

War King Approved!

After seeing the talk of Phrozen Verified models from PIXUP, Luther from War King Miniatures was intrigued to try one himself.

He printed out the model in various resins and printers to check out the output consistency of these models. Luther was satisfied with the results, officially stamping them as War King approved.

Below are the models printed with Aqua Red-Clay 8K, Aqua-Gray 8K, and his favorite mix of Aqua-Gray 8K and ONYX Impact Plus combo.
