Mars 5

Buy a 3d printer I'm not being absurd. Based on your needs, budget, and time frame, you'd be best off getting a 3d printer. You even have options: FDM (PLA) printer - a bambu A1 mini is $220, plus a 0.2mm nozzle for like $20. Filament is $30 a spool and you can get like 300 minis per spool. The qual

ACF has it's downsides, namely causing fine vertical lines on smooth surfaces. There was such a backlash against it, Elegoo stopped using ACF on new printers. No Mars 5 or Saturn 4 model uses ACF. nFEP/PFA however is a straight upgrade from FEP, and is cheaper than ACF. And yes, it uses the same ten

I have the same Mars 5 Ultra, and on my first print, I got exactly this! no adhesion. I found these settings on reddit and they worked fantastic. It's been printing fine since I changed the values in RED. Detailed info: -Mars 5 Ultra -8K Washable Resin -Slicer software is ELEGOO SatelLite (came on t

Basically, uncured UV resin is toxic for your skin and can lead to itchyness, rashes or an allergic reaction. So you must wear gloves when handling it in liquid form (which is what you pour in the vat) and then rinse the printed models in 99% IPA and given them a final brief UV cure to get rid of an

likely doesn't matter. if your printer can print at 5nm or 2nm it's beyond the ability of the human eye to notice. so the only thing that matters is if the sculpt is designed well or not. that being said. if it means anything to you i have a mars 5 ultra, and use elegoo abs 3.0+ and my minis come ou

Hey u/RavensDagger. this is a model in the same armour, but with a different armament and helmet. He was printed on an Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra. Like all of the painted minis you can see on our website :)So, domestic printers can handle them well!

Yes resin printers are still going. We have the Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra and that thing has amazing good resolution. We print tiny gears with tough resin. Recently a new resin printer capable of full-colours was on Kickstarter. inew3D. Pricey for the layman, but incredibly capable printer.

I got an Elegoo Mars 5 about a year ago. It really served me well, less than 200€ for the machine and I probably invested another 150€ into periferees. You can spend anything, open end l, into it but to get you started that's all you'll need. Probably spent another 150-250 € on resin, so in total it

With the spring-loaded build plate on the Mars 5 Ultra, similar to the Saturn 4 Ultra, it needs extra Rest After Retract (Chitubox) / Wait time before cure (UVTools) for the first 10-20 layers. Around 20-40s for those early layers in the print work well, but probably less for the smaller build plate

If you want features and details, nothing beats resin printing. Although it can be hazardous to health if done improperly. Do some research on the printing and cleaning processes first. I would strongly recommend the Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra. My company prints tiny gears with 50 micron resolution on them
