Mars 4 Ultra

I recommend the mars 4 ultra, but to change the fep for the mars 4 non ultra out of the box. The mars 4 ultra comes with ACF film which is cloudy and can reduce print sharpness. The mars non ultra 4 has a clear fep. Very easy to change. Or just live with the cfa film, its less sharp but not by a mas

FWIW, these are my settings and they are working well on a Mars 4. I haven't done the Phrozen test but it nails the Cones of Calibration. https://www.reddit.com/r/ElegooMars/comments/1s6zvae/comment/odeoizv/

If the Saturn 3 is available, get that. It’s actually better than the Ultra, despite the internet… has better UV uniformity, comes with nFEP/PFA release film as standard (Elegoo discontinued using ACF after the Mars 4 Ultra and Saturn 3 Ultra). Level using my method and you’ll eliminate Z axis compr

Resin isn't press and play.Go with Elegoo or Phrozen printers.Stay away from auto leveling and tilt vats models - they can be a trip point.I'd recommend Saturn 3 Ultra or Mars 4 Ultra.Or a Phrozen Mighty 12k, or a Mini 8k.All of those have solid 4-point leveling.Do some research before getting in to

Mars 4 ultra as well, found out that with elegoo 3.0 normal resin, I need 5 base layers at 25 seconds, then only 2 transition. When I had 5 transition it caused issues. From the videos I watched, this seems to go against general recommendations, maybe because m4 ultra has ACF? Give fewer transition

For 28mm minis you probably want resin. FDM can so some minis at that scale OK-ish when dialled all the way in, but resin will do it out of the box and will print so much faster, the detail will be far better, and it'll "just work" on far more models whilst FDM either can't print certain things well
