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

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

Froze During Boot
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/

Sell me why I should put a magnetic build plate on my printer, I'm skeptical
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

How screwed am I? 😬
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

Mars 5 Ultra - Loud popping noise followed by knocking noise when printing base layers
claro claro y una elegoo mars 2 con el mismo plano incluso 2 piezas mas me lo hace perfectamente y me compro una 5 ultra para ponerle menos cosas, templar la resina, tener que ponerlo en turbo porque sino resulta que no puede yy todo a cambio de 300€ de gasto (ya ni hablo del gasto de tiempo y resin

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

Need help please
Mind that it’s way more expensive than FDM printing, resin printing is a massive money pit of consumables like disposable gloves, screens, FEP sheets, isopropyl alcohol, new screens after old ones break, new printers after they stop selling screens, and resin. I myself got lucky and bought a fully w

Is the Elegoo Mars 5 good for printing anime figures? Are resin printers the best choice?
Any half modern resin printer has great detail, the default mars 5 is only 4K, which I assume is worse than the mars 4 ultra which also currently is on sale and costs around 200 bucks on the Elegoo website. Print time scales with height of the print instead of volume, so a big build plate allows you
