What this page is
buythis.co.za/3d-printers-resin is the Resin 3D Printers page of Buythis, AM.CO.ZA's online shop. On the live page it is a heading, a link to 3D printer videos and tiles to washing and curing, the channel letter printer, FDM filament printers, FDM pellet printers, a Creality product search and PrintUP.co.za. This knowledge base page explains resin 3D printing, describes the resin printer AM.CO.ZA sells, and shows how it compares with the other PrintUP 3D printers, with current prices.
Prices are current Buythis prices including VAT from the product dump dated 2026-10-22. Some prices come from older dump entries (2026-10-21); confirm those on the product page. Check the product page before ordering, since machine prices are linked to exchange rates and change.
How resin LCD printing works
A resin LCD printer is a kind of SLA (stereolithography) printer. A vat holds liquid photopolymer resin above a UV light source. An LCD screen masks the light so that only the shape of the current layer shines through and cures (hardens) the resin. The build plate lifts by one thin layer and the next layer is cured, so the model grows upside down from the plate. Because each layer is cured all at once by light rather than drawn by a nozzle, resin printers capture very fine features and give smoother surfaces than filament or pellet printers, but the build volume is smaller.
After printing, a resin part is washed to remove uncured resin and then post-cured under UV light to reach its final hardness. AM.CO.ZA's specialised 3D printers article notes that Creality's washing and curing machines can be used with Creality printers or with the PrintUP resin printer, and that cured resin is inert, which is why resin printing is also used in fields such as dentistry.
