Saturn 3

Generally speaking the Saturn 4 Ultra 16k is the best option for most people. I investigated and wrote the original post explaining the 3-bit grayscale deficiency and it is still present. I also bought a S4U 16k and subsequently worked out a dithering method with UVTools to restore a significant por

Yeah Anycubic long term support is ass. I own an M3 Premium and they ended support for them almost 2 years ago, yet I can still order parts (other than LCDs) for my Saturn 2s from Elegoo... which are the same age as the M3 Premium. Heygears is supposed to open up some of their settings later this ye

Elegoo Mars 3 Pro, Saturn 3 and Saturn 4 Ultra owner, been running them for the past 4 years +. (Starting slowly with the Mars and building up to the later ones. ) I use Chitubox Pro for slicing. Only had an issue once with a power switch pcb which Elegoo was happy to provide after verifying it was

Probably should put a caveat there. Compared to filament printing, particularly for detail you can get out of the box. I have the elegoo saturn 3 ultra and ca highly recommend them. Elegoo sells returns and refurbished units on eBay for a discount as well. Out the door with all gear and material id

If the Saturn 3 (non-Ultra) is available to you, it's the best bang for your buck and last of the non auto-leveling printers worth buying. Usually less than $270. Heygears is running a sale on the Reflex RS for $499, which is the lowest that printer has ever been. It's probably the only auto-levelin

Elegoo Saturn 4 is the best starter machine out there right now, if you want to keep it as cheap as possible you might be able to find a Saturn 3 ultra somewhere, they are also great starter machines with solid quality.

Saturn 3 non-Ultra. 19x24um pixel, close to the 22um pixel of a Mini 8K S. Much better UV uniformity, full PWM UV control (Mini 8K S doesn't have that). Moddable gcode. Full wait time support (Mini 8K S doesn't respect wait time after print). Adjustable Z axis offset (or use my leveling method to el

That’s an entire motherboard swap and all. Personally I think the Saturn 3 is a better value, which can be had brand new for $250-$270 (depending on sales) or used from Elegoo for $170. It has better UV uniformity, can use a different leveling method to solve Z axis compression (as well improve the

If the Saturn 3 is available, get that. It’s actually better than the Ultra, despite the internet… has better UV uniformity, comes with nFEP/PFA release film as standard (Elegoo discontinued using ACF after the Mars 4 Ultra and Saturn 3 Ultra). Level using my method and you’ll eliminate Z axis compr

Have been printing on Elegoo for quite some time. Started with the Mars 2, Mars 4 and then Saturn 3 ultra ( which was the only one that didn't work right out of the box, but Elegoo fixed it ) and now a Saturn 4 Ultra. Haven't had any other problems with all of these printers except for the 3 Ultra,
