What is the print quality and performance of the EMAKE3D Galaxy 1 SLA 3D Printer?
The Galaxy 1’s high-intensity laser delivers 100 µm accuracy, 25 µm XY resolution, and 25–200 µm layer thickness for a balance of detail and speed. Its 80 µm laser spot ensures precise curing, smooth surfaces, and clear translucent prints with minimal post-processing.
The Galaxy 1 prints up to 50 mm/h within its 400 x 200 x 400 mm build volume. Its 20,000-hour laser ensures long-lasting quality, while optimized settings with Siraya Tech Fast ABS-like Grey resin boost speed and extend laser life without sacrificing detail.
The Galaxy 1 ensures reliable, precise printing with a permanent leveling system, stable all-metal design, and vibration-resistant rack. Its temperature control supports special materials above 5°C, while automatic resin feeding prevents failures from low resin levels.
The Galaxy 1 uses linear laser scanning with flywheel generators and a rotating mirror system to precisely control and direct the laser for higher print accuracy.
Which resins can you use with the EMAKE3D Galaxy 1?
The EMAKE3D Galaxy 1 uses 405 nm resins including EMAKE3D’s gray and white ABS-like resins and third-party options like Siraya Tech Fast ABS-like resin, optimized for fast, high-quality prints with settings such as 55% power and 3 scan times.
EMAKE3D provides gray and white ABS-like resins optimized for the Galaxy 1, delivering higher quality and faster prints. The printer also works especially well with Siraya Tech Fast ABS-like resin, whose low viscosity enables fewer scans, quicker print times, extended laser life, and improved success rates for large-scale models.
