Saturn 4 Ultra 16K

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

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

That's what I was thinking. I dont know if it is the water washable resin or what, but my wife and I started with resin printing with the Saturn 4 Ultra, and it prints amazing detail with out of the box functionalities. It generally either fails to print entirely or prints beautifully. Larger pieces

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

Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K is an amazing out the box printer. Heated vat, tilt up lid, auto leveling, send through WiFi printing and updating, and auto calibration. I’ve done NO configuration on mine besides inputting my resin type and selecting a community profile with the highest ratings. I use Sun

Thanks! I’m using a Elegoo Saturn 4 ultra. That model using a different type of FEP film that helps to blend out layer lines. I also set the layer height really low. My print times are outrageous for the size but I have two Saturns so that makes up for it. If you’re completely new to 3D printing, I

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

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

FDM printers are fine for buildings or larger things in N scale, but most anything with detail you're going to want a resin printer. Clean up time is not too crazy usually. Getting the right amount, but not too few supports for a model is a bit of an art. The more supports the more pock-marks you'll

My first printer was a P2S last year, and I went down the usual route of printing whatever I could find. Over time I ended up liking miniature printing, but felt held back by the FDM printing. I was tempted to get a dual nozzle one but they were expensive and the test prints I’ve seen with them stil
