New to Resin - which saturn?
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

Best resin printer for minis and dummies
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.

Looking to replace my current printers. Need input from professionals
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

Resin printing "arms race" over?
Same as before. Expect 12 months between cycles. This year was odd, printers got released on a shorter cycle. The Saturn 4 Ultra 16K was probably supposed to be the Saturn 5, but Elegoo released it early (only 7-8 months after the Saturn 4/4 Ultra). Probably because Uniformation was releasing the 16

Hoopat x4h omg
The Hoopat vat is fantastic far superior to the original vats by elegoo. I was one of the original testers and helped design the new gasket system so I've tested the Hoopat to the max, I've literally gone through two screens printing around the clock! 😂 I mainly use there ACF as I can't see any diff

First Printer, Halot X1 Combo....Regret?
The best printer is the one that you have and makes models for you. We're kinda cursed nowadays with the wonderful array of options and like you, I was a bit obsessed with choosing "the best one" Seriously, they're all pretty much the same in core functionality and they'll all delight and frustrate

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
