Why is Australia getting shafted !
Load of crap. This type of item is duty free and there's only a 10% sales tax which is comperable to most places in the world. Shipping from china is also pretty affordable, not saying we are the cheapest but we arn't no outlier especially for something this small and light. A 10-15% price increase

3D printer for under $300?
I think you need to do more research because you’re talking about very different technologies… resin printers (Mars 5) vs FDM printers (all the others you mentioned). Resin printers are much more complex to use due to the chemicals and fumes and mess they make, but they are great at printing small d

[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

How long can I leave the resin in the tank, knowing that it is a black room with no possibility of sunshine
TL;DR not worth it if “upgrading” from the Mars 3-4. Honestly, if Elegoo still made parts for the Mars 3, I wouldn’t have switched. But you’re forced to buy a new machine since they don’t sell replacement parts anymore. Mars 5 Ultra is just a Mars 3 with gimmicks that don’t do as advertised. Camera

Having trouble choosing a printer...
Do you have the time to save a little more? I am telling you this because I also did this. I wanted to move from my old Anycubic Photon Mono 4K to something new and in the budget at that time was Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra. I use my printer for printing large armies, so this was an issue because the build

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

3D Printing Questions
What is your budget? With resin have you considered all the other things you need outside the printer to use the machine safe and effectively? I have taken the deep dive into resin printing HO scale models including full freight cars. Resin printers ship with the slicer software and there are open s

Need help picking between Form 4 and Mars 5 Ultra for Research Lab!
First off, if the budget is big enough, eff it, get the Form 4. It ain't your money. I can't say anything about the Mars 5 Ultra as I have a Saturn 4 Ultra 16K, but Elegoo in general can be very hit or miss. They tend to have issues with components that need replacing sooner than normal and their cu
