Unlocking Siraya Tech Resins on the New HeyGears Reflex 2

The 3D printing community is excited about the launch of the brand new HeyGears Reflex 2. This printer is a significant step forward, moving beyond the previous "RS" models and establishing itself as a powerful new tool for creators, designers, and professionals.

At Siraya Tech, we're just as excited. We’ve been digging into the specs and are impressed with what the Reflex 2 offers. For users looking to pair this powerful new machine with Siraya Tech resins, we've put together this guide to help you get started.

A Look at the HeyGears Reflex 2 Specs

To understand why this printer is getting so much attention, let's look at what's under the hood. The Reflex 2 is packed with features that aim for precision, speed, and user-friendliness:

• High-Resolution Screen: It features a 10.7-inch 6K Amber Screen Pro, which promises incredible detail and a long lifespan.

• Generous Build Volume: With a build area of 230 x 144 x 230 mm (9.1 x 5.7 x 9.1 in), it’s large enough for ambitious projects.

• Incredible Precision: The Reflex 2 boasts an XY native pixel resolution of 40 μm and a C5 Grade Z-axis for high repeat positioning accuracy, leading to exceptionally smooth and accurate prints.

• Advanced Light Source: It uses a new 161 OptiZone Light Engine (385+ nm) for uniform and precise curing.

• Smart Features: The printer is loaded with "quality-of-life" functions, including a die-cast unibody base, floating build platform auto-leveling, high-sensitivity residue detection, and automatic resin refill.

Siraya Tech Resin Suggest Settings for the HeyGears Reflex 2

One of the key features of the HeyGears ecosystem is its streamlined, profile-based slicer. Instead of manually tuning exposure times, the software relies on pre-built profiles for optimal results.

This can leave new users asking: "Can I use my favorite Siraya Tech resins?"

The answer is yes!

Our team previously conducted extensive testing on the HeyGears Reflex RS model. We found that our resins map perfectly to HeyGears' built-in profiles.

As the Reflex 2 is brand new, we are waiting for printer delivery so we can actively conduct tests to confirm its new profile list. However, many HeyGears printers share a similar profile logic. The table below lists our confirmed settings for the previous HeyGears Reflex RS model. These profiles (like PAS10, PAP10, and PAWR10) are a good starting point for dialing in your new Reflex 2.

Recommended Resin Profile Matching

To print with Siraya Tech resins, select the corresponding "Match Built-In Profile" in the HeyGears slicing software when preparing your model.

Key Takeaways & Printing Tips

Based on our tests with these profiles, here are a couple of helpful tips to ensure your prints are successful:

1. A Note on Sound: When printing with Build (Sonic Grey) (using the PAS10 profile) and Tenacious (Obsidian Black) (using the PAWR10 profile), you may notice the peeling sound is slightly louder than with other resins. This is normal for these profiles and our resins.

2. Check Slicer Settings: When using the PAWR10 profile (for Blu Nylon Black, Craft Ultra Clear, and Tenacious Obsidian Black), the "bottom layer thickness adaptive function" is automatically turned on in the slicer. We recommend turning this function off manually for the best results.

We Want to See Your Prints!

We are thrilled that the powerful new HeyGears Reflex 2 is available, and we can't wait to see the incredible things our community creates with it. This combination of a high-precision 6K printer with our engineering-grade and model resins opens up a world of possibilities.
