The budget MSLA printer market seems to get crowded by the day, with machines trying to elbow their way in despite not having much to set themselves apart from the competition. Enter Shenzhen-based Longer with their Orange 30. The company initially launched the Orange 30 3D printer on Kickstarter in 2019 and managed to secure more than $150,000 in funding from just under 500 backers.
Priced at about $300, the Orange 30 is similar to many other budget machines on the market in terms of resolution and build space. But, to get a better idea of what it offers, read on for our review of its specs.
The 2560 x 1440 high-resolution LCD screen allows you to have pixel resolution of up to 47.25 μm, which isn’t actually the highest in the budget-resin printer genre, but you won’t notice much of a difference between this guy and higher-resolution counterparts.
The Orange 30 comes with its own slicer by Longer called LongerWare. It’s supposed to be easy to use, can generate supports with one click and is able to quickly slice models, according to Longer. And, if you’re not feeling LongerWare, you can always use ChiTuBox instead, since the printer is compatible with both slicers.
The color touchscreen makes it simple to select a file to print – it even shows you your model with its supports – and also shows helpful information like the printing status.
Your printer will come with most of the accouterments necessary to start printing right away (with the exception of resin, depending on where you buy your machine from). These include gloves, 3M filter funnels, FEP film, a USB disk, cards to level the bed, some Allen keys, and a steel spatula.
Some other features the Orange 30 has are:
