Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16k - Water Washable
I'll just assume it bots or something, but for whatever reason, this thread is just filled with wrong answers. Well, technically the Wait time before print suggestion is correct, but is still useless because it fails to provide any guidelines for settings or why it works. Rest / Wait time is why you

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

New to Resin - which saturn?
Generally speaking the Saturn 4 Ultra 16k is the best option for most people. I investigated and wrote the original post explaining the 3-bit grayscale deficiency and it is still present. I also bought a S4U 16k and subsequently worked out a dithering method with UVTools to restore a significant por

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

Need help with Saturn 4 ultra 16k
Hey, I'm not at my PC right to see my exact settings, but I used to be struggling like you to print any more sizeable objects. And my prints would be a coin flip even when printing the same file twice. On advise of someone who used to struggle as well I dropped down layer height to 0.030mm and my ex

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
