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

How long can I leave the resin in the tank, knowing that it is a black room with no possibility of sunshine

TL;DR not worth it if “upgrading” from the Mars 3-4. Honestly, if Elegoo still made parts for the Mars 3, I wouldn’t have switched. But you’re forced to buy a new machine since they don’t sell replacement parts anymore. Mars 5 Ultra is just a Mars 3 with gimmicks that don’t do as advertised. Camera

First resin printer

I ended up getting the mars 5, not because it’s cheaper but because it takes less space and regarding leveling, the big mistake Elegoo and some other brands did was calling it auto leveling, it was never auto leveling just a bunch of springs.

Getting my first printer. Worried.

Printhead PCB borked.

That’s precisely what I didn’t say or suggest. I don’t think Elegoo are horrible. I certainly don’t think the CC is trash, because it’s nots and I think their customer support experience is generally very good, and I have 6 Elegoo machines and every time I’ve had an issue they’ve been very helpful a

Soo i require help

It’s honestly not even worth the trouble to fix, imo. I’m not rich but buying a newer model is like $200 and those screens are 1/3 or more of the cost compared to a new LCD screen. That’s if it even is a another broken LCD. Your issue appears to be electrical. Resin probably leaked on a component an
