Qidi Tech Shadow 6.0 Pro Monochrome resin 3D-printer specifications
Shadow 6.0 Pro is the successor of the proven Shadow 5.5 S. According to the manufacturer, the Shadow series by Qidi Tech is known for the quality and stability due to the good components used. QidiTech stated that with the Shadow 6.0 Pro you have a decent entry-level LCD printer that leaves nothing to be desired.
With the new Matrix UV-LED module, printing precision has been significantly improved and has a higher exposure intensity. Ultimately, thanks to the new Matrix UV-LED module, you have better printing results and faster working times. Shadow 6.0 Pro works with a 6 inch 2K LCD display, which is slightly larger than conventional entry-level printers with 5.5 inches. This leads to a larger build area of 130 x 70 x 150 mm and a larger capacity of the resin tanks. This allows you to fill in 20% more resin compared to Shadow 5.5 S. With 2K LCD screen (2560 x 1440) you get good details due to the pixel size of of 47 microns.
