The da Vinci 1.0 Pro is a subpar machine that appears to be very flimsily constructed, with this model being cut from the review after breaking and needing to be exchanged for a new model three times. We got a few prints out of it and evaluated them but we would strongly caution against selecting this model.

Overall, the printer has a fantastic eye-catching design and footprint that makes itself sit comfortably on most work surfaces. Although setting up Nobel 1.0 A takes a bit of time compared and has relatively slow print speeds, if you’re willing to see the quality of prints that this SLA printer produces, it’s worth buying at this price. Comparing it with other SLA printers such as Form One+, you would say that extra money buys higher clarity prints. But comparing Nobel 1.0 A with the Ultimaker 2 would tell you that it has the edge because of being a printer that uses SLA technology. It produces prints with less visible signs of layers and ribboning as in FDM printers.
