Saturn 3

They also keep producing spare parts. No idea if that will continue, but as a comparison, my Saturn 3 Ultra, which I bought last year, has a dead screen and Elegoo has stopped manufacturing them. I can find one third party or buy off of aliexpress, but you're talking about like $130 for something th

Believe me not much exciting has happened in the last 3 years in resin printing, get yourself an old new stock reliable printer with tons of community support and replacement parts, like a elegoo Saturn 3 or smaller mars 3, any cubic m5 or creality halot mage. No rocking vats or anything like that.

The FEP you can probably get some other generic resin printer film and use that, but getting a replacement screen doesn't really make much sense IMO. You might be able to reach out to elegoo support and see if they have any any left but usually screens are only available for around 3 years post laun

Mechanically the Reflex RS Turbo is much better built and designed. If you stay within their ecosystem (Heygears), it’s the closest to plug and play we have in resin printers. With Heygears relaxing things this year, and letting users make some settings changes, that should draw even more interest a
