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

My favorite reviews <3 I love my customers!

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

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

FDM vs Resin printed mini's - a noobs visual reference.

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

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

Elegoo mars 5 competitor?

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

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

What is the BambuLab A1 of resin printing?

Not sure if you caught it, but I linked out to my post explaining the kinematics of why there is an LCD wear problem with the Saturn 4 Ultra and it comes down to tilt release needed springs. In turn the springs needed more rest time the first ~0.5mm of print. Elegoo didn't implement the needed rest,
