Specifications of the Uniformation GK3 Ultra resin 3D-printer
The UniFormation GK3 Ultra resin 3D-printer is a cutting-edge addition to the world of printers, offering a blend of high-tech features designed for precision and efficiency. At the core of this printer is its impressive 13.5-inch LCD screen with a 16K resolution (15120 x 6230 pixels), delivering a remarkable XY resolution of 20 x 26 µm. This ensures ultra-fine details and complex structures can be printed with exceptional clarity and precision, making it ideal for high-end prototyping or intricate designs.
One of the standout features of the GK3 Ultra is its generous build volume of 300 x 300 x 160 mm. This large print area allows for the production of bigger models or multiple smaller ones in a single print run, reducing the need for multiple sessions and increasing overall efficiency.
Key Features:
-
16K LCD Display: A large 13.5-inch LCD with 16K resolution delivers incredibly fine details at a level of precision that’s perfect for professional-grade models and intricate designs.
-
Build Volume: The GK3 Ultra offers a spacious build volume of 300 x 300 x 160 mm, allowing for the creation of larger prints without compromising on quality.
-
Stable Construction: Built with industrial-grade robustness, the GK3 Ultra’s sturdy frame ensures reliable performance, durability, and stability, even for extended print jobs.
-
Automatic Resin Feeding System: This innovative system improves user experience by automating resin management. Features include:
-
Resin Refill During Printing: Ensures continuous printing without interruptions, even when the resin level runs low.
-
Automatic Detection of Resin Residues: Helps to minimize waste and ensures that only the required amount of resin is used.
-
-
Smart Heating System: The GK3 Ultra comes equipped with a smart heating function that warms the resin to 25°C in just 15 minutes. This feature ensures optimal resin flow for high-quality prints. If the heating function is disabled, the printer will begin printing immediately without pre-heating, offering flexibility depending on the user’s needs.
With its exceptional precision, large build capacity, and intelligent features, the UniFormation GK3 Ultra is a top-tier option for professionals looking to achieve superior results in resin 3D printing.

Frequently asked questions
-
– Q: Does the GK3 Ultra heater improve printing with Liqcreate resins?
-
A: Yes, especially in colder areas. Liqcreate 3D-printing resins work best at room temperature between 20-25°C (68-77°F). If you are printing in a cold area of non-heated room, build-in heaters are very beneficial as cold resin leads to random print failures.
-
-
– Q: What slicer should I use for the GK3 Ultra?
-
A: You can use Chitubox or Lychee slicer
-
-
– Q: Which settings do i need for the Uniformation GK3 Ultra with Liqcreate resin?
-
A: Currently there are limited amount of settings available. Liqcreate Stone Coal black needs 2 base layers of 60 seconds followed by 8 seconds for the normal layers at a layer heigth of 0,1mm.
