I have a pair of Mono 6ks's and yeah. Their settings are even across most of the resins in their slicer. I use the same settings between ABS, nylons and clear resins but just for functional prints. (Precision only matters in key spots for me.)
I will say this though: Their base settings work for me, which is super different than what I was used to with FDM.
Lift speed is determined more by the plastic sheet type, and "8k resin" may or may not be a little thinner and that is generally the only difference, if at all. (+8k resin is almost always marketing wank.) nFEP is the most common way to go for the detail/speed tradeoff.
(The Blu nylons are thick as hell though, so the lift speed/dwell can actually matter.)
Yup, that's my exact printer. Haha.
Yeah, that's why I figured a company that is willing to make up mostly BS to sell their stuff would jump at the opportunity to advertise an actual perk (lower lift height).
Yes, having a system where the manufacturer recommended settings actually work and work well is wild coming from FDM printing. With filament they're like "uh print somewhere around this temp I guess 👍🏽" what retraction settings? How fast can I print? Flow %? Granted this all varies dramatically from printer to printer so I know why they don't try to give a profile, but it's so nice that resin printing you've got a perfectly working baseline that you only really need to fine tune if you want.
Those are good printers. I put about 6 different resin types through them, and did get my optimal settings for fine detail because I was curious. It's just pointless for what I do, s'all.
But yes, depending on what your goals are for printing, there is a fuck ton of room for speed improvements.
