Saturn 4 Ultra 16K

The S4U springloaded plate means that wait times are even more mandatory than regular printers. The light turns on way before the resin has settled and the springs have found home. This means you get a layer thicker than supposed especially at 20um, your bottom layers are probably closer to 0.5 or e

I recently found this as well. It appears recent firmware to avoid the "lasagna bug" is either skipping layers or skipping the gray pixels when it can't load the image to the LCD fast enough. I have similar results with my own experiments in vertical smoothing / AA here: https://www.reddit.com/r/res

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

TL;DR: The Saturn 3 Ultra is a bad value, the Saturn 4 Ultra is an ok value. Best value is the Saturn 3 non-Ultra. Phrozen is Elegoo and Anycubic quality at twice the price. And they generally have worse UV light uniformity. And their support sucks. As a former Phrozen owner, was glad to get rid of

Ultra models have AA, except the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K will disable AA if you use GOO as your sliced file format. Any printer that can only use GOO, and not CTB as well, has AA disabled by Elegoo. The only non-Ultra printer that can use AA is the Saturn 3, which is the last non-Ultra to be able to use

I print on a Saturn 4 ultra 16k with grey ABS like 3.0. At 30um my exposure time is 1.1 seconds at the most. People overexposing their prints on the saturn 4 16k is a huge problem and its being made worse by the official elegoo spreadsheet listing the 12k and 16k as the same with the horribly overex

Why Elegoo did not include at least the following features for the saturn 4 ultra 16k, i don't think it would drastically increase the price:lcd screen swap new vat for faster fep changes manual leveling

My main complaint with Lychee currently is that it completely shits the bed and crashes when I try to enable anti-aliasing when slicing for my saturn 4 ultra 16k. I'm led to believe it's because they haven't added .ctb support for my printer yet and .goo is a half baked format. Other complaint I hav

If the Saturn 3 (non-Ultra) is available to you, it's the best bang for your buck and last of the non auto-leveling printers worth buying. Usually less than $270. Heygears is running a sale on the Reflex RS for $499, which is the lowest that printer has ever been. It's probably the only auto-levelin

Return to the Saturn 2/3 formula... Saturn 3 with the amber 8K LCD. Fix AA, especially with GOO. Built in heater, chamber heater probably so it warms the build plate as well. Nice to have: flip UV cover. I help a lot of people troubleshoot printers, and there's been a lot of that ever since the Satu
