You also need a proper space to install and use the HALOT-ONE. Ideally, a well-ventilated room, without any direct sunlight. Also, you probably don't want to move the machine around too much after the initial setup, since it is pretty much guaranteed to be dirty with uncured resin in some way after its very first use. No matter how hard you scrub with the isopropyl alcohol, resin will remain and you should always be careful around it while it is in liquid form. Plus, it is a lot harder to keep an eye on the quality of the success of the print as it is printing, since most of the time the model is dunked inside the vat. This is particularly annoying when you have a 10-hour print of a figurine going and you have to wait the full 10 hours to discover that you only got the tip of the guy's weapon printed, due to some error during the preparation stages. Speaking from experience here.
One of the main features of the HALOT series is Creality’s self-develop Integral Light Source technology. Unlike the Parallel Emission technology you could find in most resin printers, it offers enhanced lighting intensity, super precise printing, and excellent lighting evenness. According to the data from Creality Lab, while Parallel Emission only achieves 73.4% surface evenness, Integral Light Source can produce up to 90% evenness, increasing printing accuracy. We guess the activated carbon air filtration system is also helping in this regard. The small fan, actually moving the air around is a bit loud. Then again, the other moving parts on the HALOT-ONE are virtually silent and overall, it makes less noise than most traditional FDM 3D printers. Initial setup and learning curve, accessories, other things necessary for printing Since the start of 2021, Creality has chosen to build on its SLA portfolio, with the launch of its high-end HALOT-SKY, and as the next in line within the ‘HALOT’ range, the HALOT-ONE shares similar specs to its bigger brother. Moving forwards, the firm says that it now intends to continue investing in its LCD product lines, with the aim of “bringing extreme SLA 3D printing to a wide range of global consumers.” Creality’s HALOT-ONE features an ARMCortex M4 processor and 4-core GPU.

My experience is not the fault of Creality or anyone else. Just me.
Creality Halot-One Plus is just the right size for a desktop resin 3D printer.
Over the last seven years, Creality has built up a strong portfolio of 3D printers, which has allowed it to meet the needs of clients in the high, middle and low-end desktop markets. The firm has traditionally concentrated on developing optimized FDM systems, such as its CR-6 SE and CR-30, but recently it has increasingly ventured into the LCD space. Endow the prototyped models with higher precision and more gloss to realize comprehensive promotion. Other features: Activated carbon air filtration and cooling system; Creality Box slices software provided from manufacturer, mobile app support; 110-240v power support. Last, but not least, there is a 16GB USB flash drive in the box, which contains software and the user manual and can also be used to load up ready print files and take them from a PC to the printer. Again, we appreciate the added convenience. Performance: 0.01-0.05mm axis precision; 0.01-0.2mm layer size; 1-10s/layer curing speed; 60mm/h curing speed; 1-4s layer printing speed.
Even so, we can't say Creality offered enough and adequate beginner information overall. This seems to often be the case with Creality products in my personal experience. One of the reasons I replaced my Ender FDM printer was the sheer amount of extra research and tinkering it required. It is a truly powerful piece of kit that offers great value for its price, but falls a bit short in terms of ease of usability.In combination with its 6-inch 2K monochrome screen and precision Z-axis module, Creality says that the HALOT-ONE’s light engine represents “a revolutionary breakthrough in precision and detail,” while its cost-efficient triple cooling and filtration system provides adopters with an easy-to-use and affordable yet aroma-free 3D printing experience. The funny thing is that the guys at Creality clearly know all this and even provide nifty filtering funnels in the box, it's just the manual that falls short of providing instruction about it. The differences between budget resin 3D printers in the same price range can be significant, despite many of them having the same features.
The printers, themselves typically take great care to contain said fumes, like the plexiglass dome covering the Creality HALOT-ONE. Still, you should only use a resin 3D printer in a well-ventilated area and not breathe in the fumes. Don't go outside though, since the resin is UV-reactive and does not play well with sunlight. So, to sum up - gloves, goggles, good airflow or even a mask and don't skip the user manual. Despite having plenty of functional differences, most 3D printers tend to require the same basic set of steps to operate. First, you need to make or obtain a 3D model. These usually come in an STL file format and can be obtained fairly easily nowadays, even if you aren't particularly versed in CAD. Thingiverse is a great resource and Creality also have their own repository, named Creality Cloud. So, tl;dr - I am well-versed in 3D printing tech and have what I would call above-average practical experience with traditional FDM printing. Like most 3D printers, you can either load up ready printing files to a storage medium and just plug it into the HALOT-ONE via the full-size USB Type-A port. Or you can hook it up to a computer and control it that way, using Creality's slicer/controller software. One of my biggest and very few issues with the Select Mini is its build volume of 120x120x120mm. That is just too small and I have had to cut and join many of my prints. The HALOT-ONE advertises a maximum print size of 127x80x160mm, which is not too much of an adjustment for me, personally, but is objectively small. Resin 3D printing is a whole other ballgame, meant for higher detail in smaller models so you may not need the bigger size but it's still an important consideration.What most people associate 3D printing with is Fused deposition modeling (FDM). This is the type of printing where you typically have a printer head that heats up and extrudes filament, like PLA on onto a base layer by layer and line by line. This is facilitated by 3-dimensional motion from a combination of the printer head and the printer base. Simply put - you add three-dimensional lines one by one, starting from the bottom and then layering everything to the top.
The primary reason to delve into resin 3D printing is undoubtedly the fine detail, resolution and quality you can get out of them, compared to the more popular FDM printers. As far as actual printing goes, the UI is admittedly a bit light on options. You can just browse files from both the internal storage (sent over from the PC or app) and a connected flash drive, select a file and then start the print. After that, you can only pause or cancel the print. No other options are available and there is no notification for when the printing ends. To be fair, this is usually the case of most 3D printers. First and foremost, we feel like there needs to be more information on proper resin handling in the manual. As things currently stand, these are the only two particular pieces of guidance featured in the manual.It is just conveyed after profoundly tried and reviewed by Creality IQC(Quality Control Inspector). The benefits are pretty clear then. But the real question is, do they outweigh the negatives, or rather, the hustle of resin 3D printing? Mind you, these are not specific to the Creality HALOT-ONE, but simply come par for the course with resin printing in general. It already comes pre-loaded with all the settings needed to communicate with HALOT devices and generate compatible cxdlp files. We'll readily admit that 3D printing is not our primary field on interest here at GSMArena. That being said, we are all passionate tech nerds and with plenty of varied interests. Ask around the office and you can get solid, in-depth information on anything from cars and fridges to drones and single-board computers and everything in-between, both size and complexity-wise. You get the point. There is also a potential argument to be made that Creality also offers separate washing/curing machines, like the UW-01 and UW-02, which are sort of complementary pieces of equipment that you can do without, but do make for a more complete and streamlined experience for more in-depth users. Operating the HALOT-ONE: app and software, on-board UI
