best resin 3d printer for detailed miniatures, what should I look at?
I got an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16k recently, with the Mercury wash and cure station. It's pretty amazing, I've printed some crazy stuff on there.

I have my own (mini) Rocky! 🥰
Thank you! I currently have an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra printer, which I recently upgraded to from a much smaller Elegoo Mars (first generation). It's been pretty much foolproof since I bought it, once I'd manually levelled it. I also have the Elegoo Mercury Plus v3 wash and cure station, which has hug

Replacing FEP with ACF
ACF has it's downsides, namely causing fine vertical lines on smooth surfaces. There was such a backlash against it, Elegoo stopped using ACF on new printers. No Mars 5 or Saturn 4 model uses ACF. nFEP/PFA however is a straight upgrade from FEP, and is cheaper than ACF. And yes, it uses the same ten

3D printed some custom gear for minifigs
The elegoo Saturn 4 ultra, definitely recommend if you’re looking for detail, had to print something a while ago for a customer shrinking down a statue to mini size, the glasses on it were probably the width of a hair and it was able to print them.

First resin printer
My advice, from personal experience, is buy a bigger printer (like the Saturn 4 Ultra). I too started with "I will only make tiny miniatures" and 6 years later I am getting ready to buy an even bigger printer to add to the two Saturn 4 Ultras I have. The Ultra series by Elegoo is fantastic. You can'

Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16k - Water Washable
I'll just assume it bots or something, but for whatever reason, this thread is just filled with wrong answers. Well, technically the Wait time before print suggestion is correct, but is still useless because it fails to provide any guidelines for settings or why it works. Rest / Wait time is why you

What is the BambuLab A1 of resin printing?
At the price point, the Saturn 4 Ultra 12k or 16k are $800-1200 of machine for $400-500. It and Heygears (at that $1200+ price point) do the most to absolve the user of tuning a dozen speeds and feeds for the Z-axis movement / release & retract cycle. Heygears does this by having their slicing and p

New to Resin - which saturn?
Generally speaking the Saturn 4 Ultra 16k is the best option for most people. I investigated and wrote the original post explaining the 3-bit grayscale deficiency and it is still present. I also bought a S4U 16k and subsequently worked out a dithering method with UVTools to restore a significant por
