Mars 5

Just seconding the Mars vote. I only started printing this month, I bought the Mars 5 Ultra bundle with a wash/cure station and it's been pretty smooth sailing. I took the time to read up about supports, use the recommended settings with some minor tweaks, and overall it's gone really well. Just mak

Currently have 12 resin printers running Elegoo Mars 5 ultra and Saturn 4 ultra are the 2 newest I have and work great.

Elegoo mars 5 for all but the 2 purchased ones! Base settings, prepped in chitubox, light autosupports.

chitubox. have had zero issues with my elegoo mars 5.

I used Mars 5 + Lychee and have been getting the same results. 11 months in and I have revamped my entire DnD collection. Very minimal setup and no messing with default settings either. I use Sunlu AbS-like resin as it is less brittle than the default promo bottle from elegoo.

First warning; budget heavily for ventilation and PPE. Don't go into resin lightly, the stuff has a clear smell and genuine health risks. That being said, I went into resin for the same reason you are. I recently bought an Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra. It was a decent price, bundled with a wash and cure stat

Agreed.

Sinc

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.

Having used both (since my Mars 4 died and I replaced it with the Mars 5 Ultra), I would recommend the 5 over the 4. I love how the 5 autolevels and can detect the amount of resin in the vat. Leveling with the 4 always made me nervous that I'd crack the screen or not get it low enough and ruin my pr
