|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | FlashForge | Phrozen |
| Class | TOOLCHANGER | RESIN |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | Flashforge Creator 5 Pro, sold as "Creator 5 Pro 4-Toolheads Enclosed Multi-Color 3D Printer"[1][2] | Phrozen Sonic Mighty Revo 14K 10.1" LCD 3D Printer[3][4][5] |
| Release date (announcement and actual shipping) | Launched alongside the Creator 5; one secondary source gives an estimated early-Q3 2026 release for the Pro specifically, while the joint launch report of 19 May 2026 covers both[6][7] | Not documented |
| Launch MSRP (USD) | $799 early-bird (deposit price, open until 20 June 2026); $949 standard MSRP[6][7] | Not documented |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $949.00 on flashforge.com, in stock, with $100 auto-applied in cart, checked Aug 2026[1][2] | $680.00 on us.phrozen3d.com but unavailable — backordered, shipping when back in stock, checked Aug 2026. 3DJake also shows it sold out and delisted[5][4][3] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Enclosed version of the Creator 5. The $150 difference buys the enclosure, 65 °C active chamber heating, air filtration and engineering-material support. Build volume, toolhead count, speed and acceleration are identical to the Creator 5[1][6][7] | The Sonic Mighty family spans several resolutions at the same 10.1-inch size and very different prices: Mighty 4K $149, Mighty 8K $410, Mighty 12K $329, Mighty Revo 14K $680, Mighty 16K $720. A "Sonic Mighty" spec box is meaningless without the resolution suffix. Sources also disagree on this model's own numbers: Phrozen gives machine dimensions 353 x 345 x 517 mm and XY 16.8 x 24.8 um, while 3DJake gives 228 x 337 x 516 mm and XY 16.8 x 24 um. Phrozen's own figures are used here. 8 GB onboard storage[4][3][5] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 256 x 256 x 256 mm[6][7][8] | 223 x 126 x 235 mm[3][5] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | Not documented | 353 x 345 x 517 mm per Phrozen. 3DJake publishes 228 x 337 x 516 mm, which cannot be right for a machine with a 223 mm-wide build area[5][3] |
| Net weight (kg) | Not documented | 18 kg[5] |
| Frame construction & material | Rigid frame with a fully sealed enclosure; no dimensions or weight published[1][7] | Not documented |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Fully enclosed with door and top cover, with continuous airflow and dual-layer H13 HEPA plus coconut-shell activated carbon filtration[1][6][7] | Open-frame MSLA with a UV-blocking cover[3] |
| Passive chamber temperature reached (if enclosed; measured values preferred) | Up to 65 °C, actively heated with adaptive circulation (manufacturer claim — a heater setpoint, not a measured passive figure)[1][6][7] | Not documented |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | CoreXY with four independent FlashSwap toolheads[6][7] | MSLA, single Z axis on dual linear guide rails with a ball screw, straight-lift peel[3][5] |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Not documented | Dual linear guide rails with a ball screw[3][5] |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | 600 mm/s maximum (manufacturer claim)[1][6][7] | Not documented |
| Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²) | 30,000 mm/s2 maximum (manufacturer claim)[6][7] | Not documented |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Stock nozzle material (brass / hardened steel / plated copper / composite tip) | Hardened steel nozzles as standard[6][7] | Not documented |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | 120 °C maximum (manufacturer claim)[7] | Not documented |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Fully automatic calibration and levelling; probe technology not named[1] | Automatic levelling[3] |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||
| Multi-material/multi-color capability or official upgrade path | Four independent toolheads, physically swapped; FlashForge markets zero purge waste[1][6] | Not documented |
| Cooling & Air Handling | ||
| Chamber/exhaust fan & filtration (activated carbon / HEPA) | H13 HEPA plus coconut-shell activated carbon, dual layer, with continuous airflow[1][6][7] | Not documented |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Input voltage (110/220 V, switch or auto) | Not documented | AC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz[5] |
| Total rated power draw | Not documented | 240 W maximum system power[5] |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Not named by FlashForge. Supported slicers are Flash Studio, Orca-Flashforge and OrcaSlicer[7] | Not named. File formats accepted are .ctb and .prz[3][5] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | Not documented | 5-inch touch panel (control panel — not the masking LCD, see W1)[3][5] |
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | Dual-band Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz, LAN, USB[6][7] | USB and Wi-Fi[3][5] |
| Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps) | 1080p camera at 30 fps[6][7] | Not documented |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | Not documented | 405 nm photopolymer resin; no closed compatibility list published[3] |
| Noise & Power Consumption | ||
| Noise: claimed dB and independently measured dB (distance/method) | 55 dB claimed by the manufacturer. No independent measurement found; distance and method not stated[6] | Not documented |
| Resin & MSLA | ||
| Masking LCD | Not documented | 10.1-inch 14K monochrome masking LCD, 13,320 x 5,120 px, XY pixel pitch 16.8 x 24.8 um per Phrozen (3DJake writes 16.8 x 24 um)[5][3] |
| Light source | Not documented | Linear projection LED module. Wavelength not published[5] |
| Layer height range | Not documented | 0.01-0.30 mm[5] |
| Release film | Not documented | nFEP film supplied. No rated life published[3][5] |
| Resin vat & feeding | Not documented | Built-in resin heater fitted; Phrozen publishes no setpoint, no vat capacity, no auto-refill and no level sensing for this model[3][5] |
| Fume extraction | Not documented | Plug-in air purifier supplied with the machine[3] |
| Throughputlayers/h | Not documented | Avg. 450 layers/h on Phrozen's own product page — the only throughput figure Phrozen publishes for this model, and it publishes no mm/h at all. 3DJake states 400 layers/h for the same machine; Phrozen's own figure is used here, as elsewhere in this entry. Manufacturer claim, not a measurement, and neither source states the layer height assumed. W4 is deliberately empty: the layer range is 0.01-0.30 mm, so any mm/h conversion would be invented rather than measured[5][3] |
Manufacturer claims, independent measurements, packages and test conditions retain their source wording. FDM linear speed and resin vertical speed use different units and are not directly comparable. Unknown values are marked “Not documented”. Prices and source dates remain historical snapshots; check the linked guide for product details. Differences highlight text, not a universal winner.
