Saturn 4 Ultra 16K, over a year of troubleshooting and I still can't fix it.

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

Dead Spot on Screen

That will be a screen replacement. And, yeah it's getting too common with the S4U just past the 1 year mark. Here's my theory on the source of the problem - bad software configuration of the automatic leveling system and lack of a baked in Rest After Retract along with a couple methods to prevent th

Been having some issues on a print with my saturn 4 ultra

Just going to copy-paste my comment from a couple weeks ago on the matter of S4U dead LCDs: For you next LCD, definitely look into use Rest After Retract (Chitubox) / Wait time before cure (UVTools name) via UVTools for the first 20 layers or so like the following settings: https://www.reddit.com/r/

Upgrading from Mars 2 to maybe a Saturn 3 ultra. Advice?

Because the non Ultra has better UV uniformity (light). The Ultra can also have bad castings in the build plate head and z arm that can prevent you from leveling it. The non Ultra comes with nFEP/PFA release film, while the Ultra comes with ACF. ACF causes fine vertical lines to appear on smooth sur

First time breaking a screen in 5yrs

Common failure on the 12k Saturn 4 Ultra. The heated vat on the 16k appears to be a mitigation to the problem with the interaction of resin viscosity with the automatic leveling and tilt release when the build plate is near the LCD during the first couple dozen layers. The 30C temperature target plu

Vale a pena comprar uma Mars 5 Ultra?

The Saturn 3 Ultra has worse UV uniformity, can have casting issues that prevent you from fully leveling, and comes with ACF release film as standard. ACF is known to cause fine vertical lines on smooth surfaces, and people complained so much Elegoo discontinued it after the Mars 4 Ultra and Saturn

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

Reflex RS Turbo or Saturn 4 16k

Mechanically the Reflex RS Turbo is much better built and designed. If you stay within their ecosystem (Heygears), it’s the closest to plug and play we have in resin printers. With Heygears relaxing things this year, and letting users make some settings changes, that should draw even more interest a
