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

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

New player— great experience with models

I got the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16k, but mostly for the slightly larger print area, heated vat as it gets too cold here in the winter to print in my garage otherwise, and wifi connectivity to make life simpler. I’d imagine you could get similar quality and experience from the Mars line, the Saturn 3

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

Whats the consensus on Saturn 4 Ultra?

Problem is with anything. Look online or in subs and only people who post are those having issues, wether its user error or printer. The people who have no issues and it just works dont post. So hard to make a decision based on that. I was scared when i first looked at sub and all i saw was people h

Looking to buy my first resin printer for 1/6 scale statues $400-600

Pretty much any of the mid-size printers will be suitable for 1/6 scale figures. I recently bought the Saturn 3 which is a two year old printer but is solid af and just as high quality as the brand new ones with a 12k screen. I personally am not sold on the tilting vat, but the Saturn 4 Ultra has be

Returning to 3D printing...

If you really want a resin printer, save $1.000 compared to that unknown KS branded printer and just buy a Saturn 4 Ultra 16K when on sale. No need to get an "industrial graded" printer. Yes, resin printers aren't the first pick when it comes to printing cosplay stuff. These are nice to add some det
