If you’ve ever worked on a complex model or spent hours prototyping, you know it’s more than just “printing.” You need precise & consistent printing results—especially when deadlines are tight or details are critical.
Granted, many resin 3D printer look the same on the surface, and some do a good job. But when you’re looking for prints with sharp & precise detail, consistent printing results, and less post-processing effort, most printers fall short.
Launched in 2025, the Reflex RS Turbo from HeyGears was built with professionals, creators, and makers in mind. It pairs the advanced Dynamic Motion Algorithm 3.0 with a high-speed amber screen to deliver sharper prints, fast curing, and stable performance, making it a strong contender among the best resin 3D printer on the market.
What Is The Reflex RS Turbo?
As the core of LCD-based resin 3D printing, the screen plays a pivotal role in determining print quality. The Reflex RS Turbo is the latest addition to the HeyGears series, engineered specifically to tackle the most common challenges in resin printing by advancing screen technology.
Conventional LCD screens encounter two primary issues: achieving and maintaining light uniformity, delivering consistent UV intensity across the entire building area, and contrast control.
Light leakage in low-contrast screens can lead to unintended curing in adjacent regions, compromising detail accuracy and surface finish.
Reflex RS Turbo vs. Common 3D Printers
| Feature | Reflex RS Turbo | Common Resin 3D Printers | FDM Printers |
| Layer Height Tolerance | ±2μm (ultra-fine control) | ±5–20μm (varies by model) | ±100–300μm (relatively rough) |
| Dimensional Accuracy (XYZ) | High precision in all axes | Moderate; depends on calibration | Lower, prone to warping and shifting |
| Print Speed | Average 4.5 s/layer | Average 5~10 s/layer | Generally slower, depending on layer height |
| Build Volume | 222 × 122 × 228 mm | Around 150~250 mm³ | Typically larger, 300 × 300 × 400 mm+ |
| Material Types | A variety of UV resin, supports water-washable, standard, and ABS-like resins | A variety of UV resins, supports water-washable, standard, and ABS-like resins | Various thermoplastics (PLA, ABS, TPU, etc.) |
| LCD Screen | 10.3" 8K Amber Screen, 566:1 contrast ratio | Standard monochrome LCD, lower contrast ratio | Not applicable |
| Surface Quality & Detail | High contrast screen enables smooth surfaces and sharp details | Generally smooth, may leave slight residue | Visible layer lines need post-processing |
| Model Types | Compatible with resins for modeling & aesthetic prototypes and ABS-like resin such as PAU11, have better performance than model resins and can be used to print engineering parts with basic performance | Modeling and aesthetic prototypes only, limited by the weaker mechanical properties of standard resin | Large structural and functional models, suitable for rapid prototyping of mechanical assemblies |
| Durability | Long screen lifespan (1 M+ printed layers) | Shorter screen lifespan | Machines are robust and cost-efficient |
| Application Scenarios | Models, Prototyping, Jewelry, Industrial Applications, Medical Applications, Special Materials & Processes | Models, Prototyping, Jewelry | Toys, props, functional parts, engineering prototypes |
If you're passionate about miniature modeling—whether it's tabletop figures, dioramas, or scale replicas—the RS Turbo is built to bring your creative vision to life with exceptional precision and surface detail.
Designed to meet the high demands of hobbyists, it also scales to support advanced needs in prototyping and design.
Key Advantages Of The Reflex RS Turbo
Upgraded Amber Screen And Contrast Ratio
The most noticeable improvement is the screen. Unlike standard LCD panels, the RS Turbo features a dyed polarizer film layer.
This specialized layer uses dye macromolecules to tightly control light transmittance tightly, resulting in less overexposure and sharper definition.
The 566:1 contrast ratio means even small surface transitions and recessed features are captured accurately.
High-Precision C5-Grade Z-Axis
Consistency between layers matters, especially for functional or multi-part prints. The RS Turbo’s C5-grade Z-axis module ensures ±2μm motion accuracy, delivering stable layer stacking and reducing artifacts caused by mechanical wobble or backlash.
Dynamic Motion Algorithm 3.0 For Faster Prints
Speed gains don’t come from raw hardware alone. The Dynamic Motion Algorithm 3.0 adjusts movement behavior during print cycles to reduce idle time and optimize curing paths.
Combined with the high-speed exposure control of the screen, it accounts for the 33% boost in printing speed reported in lab tests with PAWW10 water-washable resin.
Consistent Surface Finish And Long-Term Durability
Stray light can degrade the finish of a model by partially curing unintended areas. The RS Turbo uses an optical film layer to transmit UV light at an optimal 90° angle, ensuring each cured layer is clean and residue-free.
Durability is also a focus. The screen’s dyed polarizer film is engineered for UV resistance and heat stability.
Lab simulations suggest it can handle over 1 million layers before contrast decay becomes an issue. For users, this means fewer replacements and more reliable output over time.
Conclusion
The Reflex RS Turbo is more than just a typical upgrade. It's a resin 3D printer built around an enhanced LCD screen, ensuring uniform UV light distribution across the building area.
This reduces light leakage and prevents unintended curing in adjacent regions, improving print accuracy.
If you're looking for a 3D printer that prioritizes print quality, the HeyGears Reflex RS Turbo delivers a reliable 3D printing experience. Its enhanced amber screen and reliable Z-axis ensure precise and fast prints you can trust.
