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

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.

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.

Plus the build plate size is what you eventually want to get once you're done with any Mars-level printer. The Mars just end up being too small in the long run. T

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

I have be using the Elegoo ABS like 3.0 and it is turning out great results on my Saturn 3 12k. I am just getting in to the "tough" resins so I don't want to comment just yet but the seem to fine and will anything "your mileage may vary". I am looking forward to making bigger props with the stuff an

This is ridiculous. I've Bambu FDM P1S, so as good as FDM gets, and I've Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra. FDM absolutely does not get close to level of detail SLA does. Not even remotely. And when we're talking about miniatures, were talking about details that are a fraction of a millimeter. FDM is good for t
