Resin printing "arms race" over?

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

Saturn 3 vs Saturn 4 in 2025

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

I heard that the Elegoo Saturn 4 doesn't have AA. The Saturn 4 ULTRA also have this problem? AA - Anti-Aliasing

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

Suggestions for next printer?

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

Why did my build turn out like this

What resin are you using? My settings on my Saturn 3 ultras are as follows. Bottom exposure 30s Normal exposure 1.4 to 1.8s depending on the resin Normal lift height 1mm + 2mm (that's what cuts your print time down to nothing not lift speed, you can go from 120mm to 240mm normal lift speed and it on

Why did my build turn out like this

I said the Saturn 2 is fine BUT if he's thinking of upgrading the Saturn 3 ultra is a good choice because it's easy to repair and replace parts and 12k is plenty good enough! AA is good and I use it often especially on the larger machined like the ApexMaker X1, Mega 8k and M7 Max because it helps a

As an Australian, what’s up with the Jupiter 2 Price

It's been like this since last year. They jacked up the prices only in Australia and the situation has not changed. Check camelcamelcamel Amazon price history across the regions. I was watching prices on the Saturn 4 Ultra last year only to see it suddenly jump up several hundred dollars, which kill

close to giving up

The problem with elegoo resin especially the 3.0 abs and the 8k abs stuff is it's very low quality as reflected in the price for example I can buy 1000g of 8k abs from their official Amazon store for £11.99 and I get 2000g of Elegoo transparent abs for free! Their only truly good quality resin is th

Saturn 4 Ultra Horrible Build Quality, Better Alternatives?

I'm returning an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16k as it had so many issues right out of the box. It arrived with the lcd touch screen not connected. The hopper mechanism was installed incorrectly (made incredible bang noises on the self test!!) and looks like it damaged the limit switch. Elegoo support wer
