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

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

Why does this keep happening to my prints?

Yes, this would/should apply to all printers. The "tilting VAT" feature is merely a different way to separate the models from the release film but this doesn't change that the layer is still printed on the release film and therefore sticks to it. In addition, those newer Elegoo printers use a better

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

3D Printed Trench Crusade Miniatures

Saturn 4 Ultra 16k and the 8k Standard Resin from Elegoo. No special settings. The printer is just incredibly good :)

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

Layer lines.... Going snaller layer height vs Antialiasing?

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
