The Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K is a standout in the desktop resin 3D printer market, offering good performance in a compact and budget-friendly package. At its core is a 6.1‑inch monochrome 4K LCD panel (3840×2160), achieving an impressive 35 µm XY resolution. This resolution enables the device to produce detailed prints, ideal for miniatures, jewelry patterns, dental models, and precise engineering prototypes.
The monochrome screens aren’t just sharp; it’s also fast. With exposure times of just a few seconds per layer, the Sonic Mini 4K dramatically reduces print times compared to the previous generation of resin printers. This means you can complete detailed prints at up to 80 mm/hour, blending speed with high fidelity (speed is resin and 3d-printer dependant). Physically compact, the unit measures roughly 25×25×33 cm, weighs around 5 kg, and features a sturdy metal body with a single-linear rail Z‑axis for stable lifting. Its 133×75×130 mm build area is spacious enough for small to medium models, though larger projects may require alternative solutions
Equipped with the ParaLED Matrix 2.0 light source, the printer ensures uniform UV exposure across prints, enhancing both accuracy and heat management. The 2.8‑inch color touchscreen runs Phrozen OS, offering an intuitive UI and USB-only connectivity—ideal for beginners and hobbyists.
Out of the box, setup is simple: attach the resin vat and level the build plate, and you’re ready within minutes. It supports a wide variety of 405 nm resins—including Liqcreate’s full line-up. Parameters can be found below. In summary, the Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K brings fine detail, decent print speed, and ease of use into a compact, affordable resin printer—making high-resolution printing more accessible than ever.
