Performance, resolution, accuracy and uniformity on an LCD resin 3D printer like the HALOT-ONE mostly come down to the quality and precision of the UV light source. We already mentioned this particular model uses a monochrome LCD panel, which has its benefits over standard color ones. Plus, the 5.96-inch panel has a resolution of 2560*1620 pixels, which is quite respectable. This gives a print granularity of about 50 microns, which is par for the course for the popular budget resin 3D printers on the market. 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.
That is already amazingly powerful, but the repository actually goes one step beyond, not just offering 3D models and the slicer, but also pre-sliced gcode files from other users, organized by the type of printer they use.
Creality Halot Series Resin: HALOT-SKY Resin
It already comes pre-loaded with all the settings needed to communicate with HALOT devices and generate compatible cxdlp files. The Creality Halot-One CL-60 features 2K monochrome LCD, Wi-Fi connectivity, large 5-inch color touchscreen, new Creality proprietary light source and an impressive 130 x 82 x 160mm print volume. The printer’s specifications are very similar to those of the recently released Creality LD-002H. The resin vat is also held in place securely by two screws with the same style of bid and is easy to turn with gloves on plastic bits. This is very much appreciated for the sheer convenience it provides once everything starts getting covered in resin. The only "assembly" that needs to be done is to screw the building plate into its place, which is done with a big and convenient wheel for tightening and untightening. We'll go over some of Creality's highlights, but from a purely practical standpoint, we have to say that the HALOT-ONE is surprisingly compact.
The topic of underlying tech goes way beyond this brief introduction and is quite fascinating. We won't be delving any deeper, since we really should get to some actual bits about the HALOT-ONE in particular. However, as one final note - the HALOT-ONE uses a monochrome LCD module, as opposed to a color one. You can google the particular benefits if you like and delve into LCD sub-pixel aperture ratios, degree of polarization and UV transmission percentages. The important things about the use of monochrome tech, however, boil down to decreased layer exposure times and faster prints, as well as a longer lifespan for the LCD panel itself. HALOT-ONE specs and features overview Measuring 221x221x404mm, it technically takes up less desk space than my current, daily-driver Monoprice Select Mini v2 FDM printer. Though, not particularly light at 7.1kg. 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. I wish I would’ve known that it does not come with any sample resin, contrasting FDM printers that typically come with at least enough filament to make a small model.Leaving resin in the vat beyond say a couple of days will easily ruin it. In fact, after opening a bottle of resin, you can't keep it for too long either. And if you have kids or pets around, you almost always have to clean up after a print, which often means tossing perfectly good resin and always involves heaps of time with wasted materials and unpleasant odors. But, we're going on an unnecessary tangent here. Final thoughts
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. The HALOT-ONE has a 6-inch 2K LCD monochrome screen with a 2560 x 1620 pixels resolution, Wi-Fi connectivity, a large 5-inch color touchscreen, and a 127*80*160mm build volume. Powered by an ARM Cortex-M4 CPU, HALOT-ONE brings you over-the-par performance at an affordable price.
Creality Halot-One Plus is just the right size for a desktop resin 3D printer.
The difference is that the LD-002H does not have Wi-Fi and the resin tray is slightly less convenient. Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K What do you stand to gain over FDM? Well, the biggest potential benefit of resin 3D printing is likely going to be resolution and quality. Even with a cheaper, non-pro grade LCD printer, like the HALOT-ONE, you can get significantly better and finer details than with a similarly-priced FDM printer. Light source: 120W, self-developed integral light source system with over 80% illumination uniformity. 6 light sources, 3800uw/cm2 output. 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.

The update extends the printer's list includingELEGOO MARS 3 PRO、ELEGOO SATURNetc. total 9 popular printers, provide multiple choices to users. We believe that these new printers and our new attempts will bring our users with a brand new experience. The Halot-Sky has a similar 5-inch touchscreen. The only difference is the orientation. Halot-One’s display is horizontal, while Sky’s is vertical. Additional Features Since version 1.9.1 was released in January, CHITUBOX Basic has gained great praise from users not only because of the stability and operation speed, but also the key features such as layer print time compensation and size display etc. CHITUBOX Basic has provided a high-efficiency and seamless experience for our users.Other features: Activated carbon air filtration and cooling system; Creality Box slices software provided from manufacturer, mobile app support; 110-240v power support. Clearly, once you actually start printing with resin, all sorts of hidden considerations and specifics start creeping up. We maintain that Creality could be doing a better job of explaining and communicating all of these in the manual. Creality HALOT-ONE is based exactly on LCD tech and part of the reason why it even exists and at such a price that it is even relevant for us to be testing it as a hobbyist/non-professional tool, rivaling FDM printers in the first place.
