Saturn 4 Ultra

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

You have to consider the cost of materials, parts, and peripherals in your budget. You’ll want a way to wash and cure, whether that be the elegoo dedicated wash and cure stations, or your own makeshift solution. You’ll want to factor in FEP/PFA film. You’re going to eventually have to replace the LC

Those black dots ? Yep, screen is dead. You bought it in 2023 ? Either you don't print often, or you're very lucky. Prints don't hold for long across multiple prints. It's perfectly normal, ask yourself : why your printer has a 1 year warranty, except the screen which has a 6 months warranty ? And a

Theyre a pain to change, at least in the Elegoo Saturn 4U it has like a million screws. I wish they would improve this somehow.

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/

I had the same experience. Had the CC for 9 months total. It worked for 3 months. Then 6 months of talking back and forth with elegoo… took it apart 7 times. Several different parts, bad instructions, frustrating experience. I just got the replacement yesterday. Haven’t even opened it, I just decide

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

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

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
