*** Use Code HOFFMANENGINEER for $50 off! *** In this review, I put the HeyGears UltraCraft Reflex through a full month of testing. Unlike most desktop resin printers that use a 405nm light source, the Reflex runs a 385+ nanometer wavelength for faster, more complete curing and compatibility with advanced resins like ABS-like, flexible, and transparent materials. It also packs automatic bed leveling, auto resin filling, a heated resin tray, and AI-assisted peeling force management. All designed to take the guesswork out of resin printing. I test two of HeyGears' resins, the PAT10 transparent and PAU10 ABS-like, walk through the Blueprint Studio slicer and the Wash and Cure ecosystem, and break down exactly where this printer shines and where the trade-offs are. If you're looking for a resin printer that just works out of the box, this one's worth a look. Plus, with my exclusive link, you can save $50 on top! Thank you HeyGears for providing the Reflex for me to test out. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👀 See more information about the HeyGears UltraCraft Reflex here (Affiliate Links): *** Use Code HOFFMANENGINEER for $50 off! *** Reflex Combo: https://store.heygears.com/products/reflex-combo?ref=HOFFMANENGINEERING&utm_campaign=affiliate_promotions&utm_medium=kol&utm_source=affiliate Reflex (Printer Only): https://store.heygears.com/products/ultracraft-reflex-3d-printer?ref=HOFFMANENGINEERING&utm_campaign=affiliate_promotions&utm_medium=kol&utm_source=affiliate&variant=46613539029211 UltraCraft Wash: https://store.heygears.com/products/ultracraft-wash?ref=HOFFMANENGINEERING&utm_campaign=affiliate_promotions&utm_medium=kol&utm_source=affiliate UltraCraft Cure: https://store.heygears.com/products/ultracraft-cure?ref=HOFFMANENGINEERING&utm_campaign=affiliate_promotions&utm_medium=kol&utm_source=affiliate --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👀 Resins used during my tests (Affiliate Links): UltraPrint-Modeling PAU11/PAU10 ABS-like Resin: https://store.heygears.com/products/ultraprint-modeling-pau10-abs-like-resin?ref=HOFFMANENGINEERING&utm_campaign=affiliate_promotions&utm_medium=kol&utm_source=affiliate UltraPrint-Modeling PAT10 Transparent Resin: https://store.heygears.com/products/ultraprint-modeling-pat10-transparent-resin?ref=HOFFMANENGINEERING&utm_campaign=affiliate_promotions&utm_medium=kol&utm_source=affiliate --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👀 Curious about HeyGears other printers?

About This Video

In this review I put the HeyGears UltraCraft Reflex through a full month of real use, because resin printers are notorious for being “great on paper” and then turning into a troubleshooting hobby. The big technical hook here is the Reflex using a 385+ nm light source instead of the usual 405 nm, which is aimed at faster, more complete curing and better compatibility with more demanding materials. I also dug into the whole “smart printer” pitch: automatic bed leveling, auto resin filling, a heated resin tray, and AI-assisted peeling force management that’s supposed to reduce failures and take a lot of the guesswork out of dialing in settings. I walk through HeyGears’ Blueprint Studio slicer workflow, then tie it into their Wash and Cure ecosystem so you can see what the end-to-end experience looks like if you buy into the platform. For materials, I tested two of their resins—PAT10 transparent and PAU10 ABS-like—so I could evaluate both cosmetic/optical results and more functional, tougher parts. The takeaway is pretty simple: if you want a resin printer that’s designed to work out of the box with less fiddling, the Reflex is legitimately compelling, but there are trade-offs that come with that more integrated, ecosystem-style approach.
