Should I go for the Saturn 4 16k or the newer Photon P1?

16k screens do AA, although only 3bit scale. While P1 seems to do 4bit if in Anycubic Photon Workshop, better but still crippled. P1 has wave release film which softens details as well. Tilting release vat is both good and bad at least, for sure not pure problem. Floating built plate is okay to leve

how reputable are elegoo printers?

Among the consumer <$1k (USD) printers Elegoo is the most consistent by a wide margin. Anycubic is a bit of a distant second with a higher rate of dropped balls and self-inflicted failures.

Printers for the lazy beginner

You're the kind of person I'd recommend the Kobra S1 for: someone with a fair amount of experience with printers, who can fix problems without a ton of hand-holding and can deal with less-than-stellar software and quirks. It can output great prints, with some effort, as long as you don't get a lemon

New to resin printing, what's causing these print fails

What resin???? I never met anyone that didn't say it works fine with anycubic resin, it's other brands that don't stick very well on the M7 Max. Also most people leave smart release on and if like me they use high quality ACF that doesn't stretch the machine detect the release at 0.3mm and then retu

Beginner printer suggestions?

Multicolor FDM printing is on the horizon, but still not quite there yet.The only solution for miniatures is still resin.Mainly because you do not print individual models, but batches of them, while the fdm printer has to do each one individually.Resin is more precise and still gives you the option
