Mars 5 Ultra

Saturn 4 Ultra (commonly S4U) in 12k or 16k is going to be the easiest printer to get started and successful prints from for a new user. The Mars 5 Ultra is the smaller version with all the same features as the 12k, just different resolution and build volume. The tilt release system eliminates 12-16

Mars 5 Ultra. All Elegoo tilting vat printers (latest Ultras) vastly simplify the learning curve for exposure settings because a lot of esoteric settings (like lift speeds) just no longer apply.

Now I have two, a M5U and a S4U12k. Each has printed hundreds of parts, possibly more than a thousand in to
