The SLA ChannelBack in July, I had an accident with some 3D printing resin that caused some pretty severe 2nd degree burns.
As a 'warning' to the many people out there with casual attitudes about safety, I posted a picture of the injury, along with an account of what happened. I didn't expect the reaction that I got!
I was called a liar. Fearmonger. Supposedly, I had made the whole thing up for some reason, apparently I am an attention hound.
So Here is the truth. And the documentation. Believe what you want.

Compare the similarities, differences, and how to decide between the four machines.
Unlike a lot of reviewers, I have logged a LOT of printing time on all four of them!
There are no example prints in the video, but I have plenty of them on our FaceBook group-
Reviews and further information will be on our website, www.gotlabs.com ------------- A couple of quick notes here-
1) I state in the video that the LCD screens are the same- I meant this from a very basic perspective, they are the same in that they are the same physical size and resolution. It was, however, pointed out to me that they are not all interchangeable as they have different connectors on them.
2) I never state that these are the BEST three printers on the market, so CALM DOWN!
They are the top three based on SALES VOLUME. Yes, I realize that machine that cost you 2x or more as much DOES print better.Siraya Tenacious Lattice printThe SLA Channel2019-08-23 | Just a quick test print I did, just to see if I could do it.
YES- It is fully washed and cured, so I am OK without gloves. Thanks for your concern!
Done on Epax X1. It's tough to print something that fine in resin that flexible!

The PEI isn't installed on the steel sheet, but it's easy to do.
So far I have been really impressed by the bed. Great adhesion with PLA and PETG, but the print pops right off when it cools. I didn't need a glue sitck, hair spray, or anything else to help with adhesion or removal.
I'll keep this updated as to how it does long term.
