Mars 5

I think you need to do more research because you’re talking about very different technologies… resin printers (Mars 5) vs FDM printers (all the others you mentioned). Resin printers are much more complex to use due to the chemicals and fumes and mess they make, but they are great at printing small d

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

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

Detail with any resin 3D printer hasn’t changed much since 4K came out, Imo. I recently “upgraded” from the Mars 3 to the Mars 5 Ultra and the difference is imperceivable to the eye. The only things that are different is slightly faster prints which doesn’t impress me, an AI camera that doesn’t dete

What is your budget? With resin have you considered all the other things you need outside the printer to use the machine safe and effectively? I have taken the deep dive into resin printing HO scale models including full freight cars. Resin printers ship with the slicer software and there are open s

First off, if the budget is big enough, eff it, get the Form 4. It ain't your money. I can't say anything about the Mars 5 Ultra as I have a Saturn 4 Ultra 16K, but Elegoo in general can be very hit or miss. They tend to have issues with components that need replacing sooner than normal and their cu

They are STILL pushing bad firmware and have shown no desire to fix it at this point. It has been a problem since mid December. I emailed them and got instructions to update to the firmware with the problem. https://www.reddit.com/r/ElegooMars/comments/1pygul4/mars_5_ultra_bad_firmware_10309/

How to you get straight edges in the connector parts, amazing work btw 100/100 I got elegoo mars 5 ultra, driving me crazy

Ever wondered why this is not already a feature? Nice idea a but... I tried on my Elegoo Mars 5 and my prints kept breaking, misaligning and deforming (most of them) . If you want my advice leave your machine as is and use a flat sharp scaple to begin removing the prints then slide in a plastic scra

Just know that Elegoo doesn’t make replacement parts for the Mars 3 anymore so you’d have to buy 3rd party. However, it really doesn’t make financial sense to repair the machine since you can buy a newer model for around $270. I had to buy the Mars 5 Ultra. Had to warranty the touchscreen after a mo
