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

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

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

This breaks my Heart

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

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

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

Verify Quality of Prints

I don't know what the original model supposed to look like but I think these don't look right and are overexposed (blooming, lack of details). I have the same printer and the default 1.8s insanely overexpose every resin I got at 0.03mm, even after I drop it to as low as 0.9s. I have to drop the uv p

Pricing on GW

I have to actually admit. I just rechecked the z axis resolution is 0.02mm (20 um and the x y resolution is 14-19 um on the 16k elegoo Saturn 4, so it is still basically matching with slightly better x axis resolution. The Saturn 2 8k is 28um xy resolution (I think I matched it out once and it was 2

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
