I have my own (mini) Rocky! 🥰
Thank you! I currently have an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra printer, which I recently upgraded to from a much smaller Elegoo Mars (first generation). It's been pretty much foolproof since I bought it, once I'd manually levelled it. I also have the Elegoo Mercury Plus v3 wash and cure station, which has hug

What is the BambuLab A1 of resin printing?
At the price point, the Saturn 4 Ultra 12k or 16k are $800-1200 of machine for $400-500. It and Heygears (at that $1200+ price point) do the most to absolve the user of tuning a dozen speeds and feeds for the Z-axis movement / release & retract cycle. Heygears does this by having their slicing and p

Saturn 4 Ultra Horrible Build Quality, Better Alternatives?
Elegoo sales revenue went from 118M in 2022 to 180-200M in 2023 due almost entirely to the Saturn 4 Ultra 12k. They've sold hundreds of thousands of the machine. Most of the hate and horror stories clearly come from two groups: a) those opposed to people outside their chosen circle using resin print

3D Printing Miniatures
Basically, uncured UV resin is toxic for your skin and can lead to itchyness, rashes or an allergic reaction. So you must wear gloves when handling it in liquid form (which is what you pour in the vat) and then rinse the printed models in 99% IPA and given them a final brief UV cure to get rid of an

Xal'atath resin printed and fully painted!
It really is! The printer I'm using is the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K. All the parts took around four full plates in total (usually fits on three at her default size), with each plate taking about 4 to 5 hours to complete. The total production time is surprisingly short considering the level of detai

Saturn 4 Ultra 16k - keep or wait for Saturn 5?
No, these are not graphics cards. There's a limit to their technological advancement. 16k print is close to injection moulding, any higher resolution is approaching gimmick status. Unless they revamp the tilt vat and improve fail detection, I can't see what tech improvements are to be made. I'm here

Easier resin printer for clumsy person or just give up on 3d resin printing?
I started with FDM but it soon became obvious that I needed a resin printer because of what I design and print (detailed miniatures). I eventually got an FDM after 5 years of resin printing just to do functional stuff because I also do cosplay and fabrication. It is not for miniatures. What did you

Recommendations for beginner printer.
I got into resin printing with the Saturn 4 ultra 16k and im really happy with it. The heated vat is amazing as I print in my garage and it maintains resin temp. Also the tilting vat peels the model off of the fep instead of just yanking it off. This means that you dont need to fight suction forces
