Mars 4 Vs Mars 5
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

Having trouble choosing a printer...
Do you have the time to save a little more? I am telling you this because I also did this. I wanted to move from my old Anycubic Photon Mono 4K to something new and in the budget at that time was Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra. I use my printer for printing large armies, so this was an issue because the build

Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra detail test – 25 micron layer height (ABS-Like 8K Space Grey)

Sucess but then repeated printing failures, would really appreciate help.
Thanks so much - I think this is definitely the problem - but I'm not quite sure how the bolts are intended to be adjusted.

Repeated failed prints
I’ve been using my Mars 5 Ultra for a month now non-stop. It seems build plate is made in such a way that I had to change my base exposure time from 36s to 60s for small objects seen in your second photo. 90s is sometimes required for larger surface areas. Even with those ridiculous base exposure se
