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

Elegoo mars 5 competitor?

I’ve done NO configuration on mine besides inputting my resin type and selecting a community profile with the highest ratings. I use Sun

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

how reputable are elegoo printers?
The story people keep trying to spin about the frequency of problems with the automatic leveling build plate simply ignores scale of how many S4Us are out there in use. And there is a very simple solution with increase Wait time before cure for the first 10 or so layers. The Saturn 4 Ultra 12k and 1

First print not sticking ( Saturn 4 Ultra 16k)
All printers need more Rest After Retract (Chitubox) / Wait Before Print (Lychee) / Wait time before cure (UVTools) for the base layers. Your adhesion failure here is because your raft is printed with over thick layers. Almost looks like the raft was failing to adhere from the start or isn't actuall

[Mars 2 Pro] My daughter is going to make me get a bigger printer!
Just going to mention Elegoo has discounted the Saturn 4 Ultra 12k to $360 this weekend for Father's Day. Saturn 4 Ultra is solid for parts and models lifted on supports. If you print a lot of parts directly on the build plate it's a bit tricky.

6 months of failed prints troubleshooting Saturn 4 Ultra with Elegoo support
You need Rest After Retract (Chitubox) / Wait time before cure (UVTools name) using UVTools to increase it for the first 10-20 layers to 10-20s. On the lower UV power S4U 12k, I am running base layers around 12-15s exposure for all of 3 base layers and 3-5 transition. UVTools is required as none of
