Mars 5

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

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

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.

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 actually used it for years and now the only thing I did was turning the high definition AA off. AA - constrast blur never did that to me. I use an elegoo mars 5 ultra. Could the hd AA off be for something?

I got an Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra as my first (and only) printer and have used it to print my New Antioch and Court minis, as well as a ton of terrain pieces and a dragon for the dragon hunt scenario. It’s been a great experience. This printer is very beginner friendly

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.

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).

Anycubics are a larger gamble in terms of QC than Elegoo. A lot of M7s come with concave plates. On top of that, Anycubics can't use per layer wait times, so they have even more trouble with adhesion than other auto-leveling printers, especially with low cure depth resins (light colored/high detail)
