The QIDI TECH Shadow 6.0 Pro is a desktop MSLA resin 3D printer. It is an improved version of the 5.5 S. Unlike its predecessor, it is equipped with a 6-inch 2K LCD screen that makes for higher printing resolution and larger prints. The Shadow 6.0 Pro is a budget device ideal for first-time users. Its sturdy design and stable structure make it durable and reliable. By purchasing the QIDI Tech 6.0 Pro you will get a good quality resin printer at an affordable price.
As an MSLA device, the 6.0 Pro adopts UV light for curing the resin. The light is emitted through a special matrix UV-LED array developed to improve printing precision. The redesigned light system illuminates the build platform with higher intensity, speeding up the curing process. The machine is capable of curing each layer in just 5-6 seconds.
In addition to the red and silver design, the 6.0 Pro and 5.5 S differ in their LCD equipment. The 6.0 Pro sports a 6-inch 2K screen of 132 x 74mm, while the 5.5 S uses a 5.5-inch screen, hence their names. The enlarged LCD results in a larger print area. The 6.0 Pro also benefits from a bigger resin VAT (20% larger than the 5.5 S) and an activated-carbon filtration system.
Backed by outstanding technical support, QIDI Tech 3D printers are gaining lots of trust in the low-cost 3D printing market segment. Keep reading our Shadow 6.0 Pro review to find out more about this budget-friendly resin printer.
