What’s your go-to resin printer in 2025, and why?
Currently have 12 resin printers running Elegoo Mars 5 ultra and Saturn 4 ultra are the 2 newest I have and work great.

What 3D printers would you guys recommend?
I still use an old Elegoo Mars Pro but you probably want to look at either their newer models (Mars 5 I believe) or their Saturn if you want to do larger prints. For FDM the Bambulab A1 seems to be pretty popular right now.

[WARNING/Privacy] Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra uploaded over 11 GB of data while IDLE! (Always-on Camera Streaming?)
Hi everyone, I recently noticed suspicious network activity on my home network and traced it back to my Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra. I didn't print anything last 5-6 days, printer just waiting idle. The printer is constantly consuming about 1.0 - 1.2 Mbit/s of upload bandwidth. To verify this, I isolated th

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

Beginner getting into 3D printing – is a used Formlabs Form 2 for $200 worth it?
For filament printers you can also check out the Anycubic Kobra 3 v2 combo. 4 color printing, and active drying. It's about $330 U.S. right now. Print quality, speed and bed size are all comparable to the Bambu A1. For resin, you can buy a brand new Elegoo Mars 5 for under $200! Just don't forget th

Printing minis? (GW HERESY)
Do you mean recommendations for a printer? If so, I love my Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra, it’s like US$270ish on their website. But I use it on top of buying official stuff too…. Supporting GW while still supplementing my minis.

3d printer options
Agreed. If you can swing the P1S, get that instead of the A1, but Bambu is the way to go for people who want 3D printing as a means to an end for some other hobby rather than 3D printing being the hobby (both are great options, it just sounds like you're after the former rather than the later).

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
