Nova 3D Whale4 Ultra 16K Resin 3D Printer

The Nova 3D Whale4 Ultra 16K Resin 3D Printer is a high-resolution LCD resin 3D printer built for users who want exceptional detail, a generous build area, and efficient printing performance. With a 15120 × 6230 resolution, 14 × 19 μm pixel size, and 221 × 118 × 220 mm build volume, the Whale4 Ultra is designed for both detailed models and larger resin printing projects.

Its 16K monochrome LCD provides a high level of detail, while the increased 220 mm build height gives users more freedom when printing taller models. Combined with a rated printing speed of up to 100 mm/h, the Whale4 Ultra offers a strong balance between print quality, size, and productivity.

Key Features of Nova 3D Whale4 Ultra

16K Resolution for Exceptional Detail

The Whale4 Ultra features a 15120 × 6230 resolution display with a 14 × 19 μm pixel size.

This high-resolution printing system is designed to reproduce fine edges, intricate textures, small features, and detailed surface geometry. It makes the printer suitable for users who want smooth and highly detailed resin prints.

For miniature models, prototypes, figurines, decorative parts, and other detailed projects, the 16K resolution provides the level of precision expected from a modern high-resolution resin 3D printer.

Large Build Volume for Bigger Models

With a 221 × 118 × 220 mm build volume, the Nova 3D Whale4 Ultra provides substantial printing space across all three axes.

The 220 mm Z-axis height is particularly useful for taller models and larger components. The additional build space also allows users to arrange multiple smaller parts within the same print.

This makes the Whale4 Ultra a versatile option for both individual large models and batch printing.

Fast Resin 3D Printing

The Whale4 Ultra supports a rated printing speed of up to 100 mm/h.

This gives users the ability to complete suitable projects more efficiently while maintaining the advantages of high-resolution resin printing.

Actual print speed will depend on resin type, layer thickness, exposure settings, model geometry, and slicing parameters.

Advanced COB UV Light Source

The printer uses a 7th-generation COB light source with a light homogenizer and an integrated air-cooling system.

Its optical power intensity is rated at 5000 μW/cm², with a 405nm UV wavelength.

The light homogenizing system helps provide consistent exposure across the printing area. This is important for maintaining reliable curing and consistent detail across different areas of the build platform.

Stable Industrial Motion System

The Whale4 Ultra uses an industrial ball screw and industrial stepper motor for its motion system.

A stable Z-axis is important for resin printing because each layer needs to be positioned accurately during the build process. The industrial motion components help provide controlled vertical movement throughout the print.

Flexible Layer Thickness

The Nova 3D Whale4 Ultra supports layer thicknesses from 20 μm to 200 μm, with 20 μm increments.

Users can select finer layers when prioritizing surface quality and detail. Thicker layers can be selected for suitable models when printing efficiency is more important.

This flexibility allows the printer to adapt to different model sizes and printing requirements.

Suitable for a Wide Range of Applications

Unlike printers designed specifically around one professional industry, the Whale4 Ultra works well as a general-purpose high-resolution resin 3D printer.

It can be used for applications such as:

• Miniature and collectible models
• Figurines and character models
• Product prototypes
• Engineering prototypes
• Artistic and decorative models
• Small functional components
• Detailed design models
• Larger resin prints
• Small-batch production

The printer’s larger build volume also makes it useful when several smaller models need to be printed together.

Designed for Larger Resin Projects

The Whale4 Ultra’s 220 mm build height gives it an advantage when working with taller models.

Many resin printers focus heavily on XY resolution, but available Z-axis space can become a limitation for larger designs. The Whale4 Ultra provides additional vertical capacity while maintaining its high-resolution 16K printing system.

This makes it a practical choice for users who regularly print both highly detailed and relatively large resin models.

Easy Resin Printing Workflow

The printer supports several widely used resin slicing platforms, including NovaMaker, Chitubox, Lychee Slicer, and Tango Slicer.

Models can be prepared using common STL and OBJ file formats, making it easier to integrate the Whale4 Ultra into existing 3D modeling and resin printing workflows.

A Versatile Professional Resin 3D Printer

The Nova 3D Whale4 Ultra 16K combines high resolution with a larger build volume and faster rated printing speed.

Its 15120 × 6230 resolution is suited to detailed models, while the 221 × 118 × 220 mm build area provides room for larger projects and multi-model printing.

For designers, makers, model creators, prototyping businesses, and professional users, the Whale4 Ultra provides a versatile platform for high-detail resin 3D printing.

Why Choose the Nova 3D Whale4 Ultra?

The main advantage of the Nova 3D Whale4 Ultra resin 3D printer is its combination of 16K resolution, large build volume, and up to 100 mm/h printing speed.

Instead of choosing between detail and printing capacity, users get a machine designed to handle both. The high-resolution LCD is suitable for intricate models, while the 220 mm build height provides additional flexibility for larger designs.

If you need a high-resolution resin 3D printer for detailed models, prototypes, miniatures, and larger resin prints, the Whale4 Ultra is a strong option for professional and advanced users.
