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

Photon P1 vs Saturn 4 Ultra 16k

No build plate flatness issue with the Saturn 4 Ultra outside rare individual defects, but it will typically not achieve 100% perfect Z accuracy the first several layers. You will want to use a high amount of Rest After Retract (Chitubox) / Wait time before cure (UVTools) using UVTools for the first

Chitubox 3.0 is a scam

I used to be a loyal Elegoo customer, but know that I will never buy from you again. I’m switching to Lychee right away. This has nothing to do with Elegoo... in fact Elegoo has been pissed at Chitu Systems for a long time now as well. Enough so that they developed the .goo file extension... and rel

Magforms Elastic 600

Did it start to fail at the back and split moving forward like this? https://www.reddit.com/r/resinprinting/comments/1n8gh14/help_with_st_flex_black_70a_parts_of_print_stop/ If so it is partially because the resin stretches and the tilt stroke of the S4U is shorter at the back than the front. Fixes are roug

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

Anti Aliasing Saturn 4 Ultra

I recently found this as well. It appears recent firmware to avoid the "lasagna bug" is either skipping layers or skipping the gray pixels when it can't load the image to the LCD fast enough. I have similar results with my own experiments in vertical smoothing / AA here: https://www.reddit.com/r/res

Lychee Pro subscription

My main complaint with Lychee currently is that it completely shits the bed and crashes when I try to enable anti-aliasing when slicing for my saturn 4 ultra 16k. I'm led to believe it's because they haven't added .ctb support for my printer yet and .goo is a half baked format. Other complaint I hav

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
