Pixel pitch describes the screen, not the tolerance of the part · review
ELEGOO’s entry resin printer, with a 4K mono LCD, a COB light source, one-click automatic leveling and alarms for resin shortages and leveling failures.
ELEGOO focuses this model on avoiding failures. It levels with one click, self-checks, and raises alarms for low resin and failed leveling.
The 4K screen is the limit. The listing prints no XY figure, and the higher models here do. For tabletop miniatures, that pixel size matters more than any convenience feature.
Resin needs washing and curing, so price a wash and cure station and gloves along with the printer.

The listing describes one-click automatic leveling, plus a self-check before printing.
A mechanical sensor looks for cured resin left in the vat, so that a stuck fragment does not press into the film and screen on the next layer.

The easiest way in on this shelf. Pay more for the Mars 5 Ultra if miniatures are the goal.
