Mars 5

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

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

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

Get onto Elegoo technical. They will ask you to swap out the black plastic part with 2 silver nuts with the one at the top of the z rail. It's a bugger to get at, but the optical sensor is dead and needs replaced. They'll post it to you, simple repair. (This has been happening on mars 5 ultra quite

I had exact same problem today - it done it with first layers and then nothing model printed fine. Did you have any news? Year ago i bought mars 5 which came broken, this one is month old… elegoo is absolute garbage… i think the problem is suction (i used raft the “boat one”) i wrote to the support,

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. The first thing I will do when I get it is manually level

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

Buy new in box so you have a warranty in case there’s an actual parts issue. Otherwise it’s just a bit of a learning curve! Saying this as someone with a lemon of a Mars 5 Ultra, I regret buying used but my last Elegoo printer was incredible.

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
