Saturn 4 Ultra 16K

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

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

It's a Saturn 4 Ultra 16k, and I used the top rated 30um profile in lychee for Elegoo ABS-like 3.0 8K, and printed solid with medium grid supports and manual orientation. I also used the GPU based anti aliasing option. Total print time was 10 hours! Full disclosure this is with a coat of primer. Att

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

Hmm, not what you want to hear but my Saturn 4 Ultra has been rock solid, I just hit print. I am using Elegoo Satelite for slicing. If you haven't tried it, do it. It is free and easy to use. Are you rotating your models so they are at a angle? Use ChatGPT to help with settings. You can take a photo

The 16K printers are all limited to 3-bit greyscale due to the LCD controller. The exception is the Athena 2 that has a custom LCD controller. All Anycubic printers are limited to 4-bit greyscale die to Anycubic’s firmware/motherboard limitations. Previous generation printers from Elegoo and Phrozen

You need Rest After Retract (Chitubox) / Wait time before cure (UVTools name) using UVTools to increase it for the first 10-20 layers to 10-20s. On the lower UV power S4U 12k, I am running base layers around 12-15s exposure for all of 3 base layers and 3-5 transition. UVTools is required as none of

Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra is my choice. I send the print, and I sleep soundly knowing that it will perform its task flawlessly. If any failure occurs, it’s my fault, not the printer’s.

I see you have mini heater so that shouldn't be a problem, try leave it on for 30mins before print tho. Increase later height to 50microns and exposure time to 1.5s +(.15 for stability) I use elegoo abs like 3.0 and use 2s exposure at 50microns layer height on a Saturn 4 ultra. Since your prints are

I've spent a little bit of time dialing in my settings. Once you get them right, the supports almost fall off. I'm using an elegoo saturn 4 ultra 16k with sunlu abs like dark grey resin.
