Resin printing "arms race" over?
Same as before. Expect 12 months between cycles. This year was odd, printers got released on a shorter cycle. The Saturn 4 Ultra 16K was probably supposed to be the Saturn 5, but Elegoo released it early (only 7-8 months after the Saturn 4/4 Ultra). Probably because Uniformation was releasing the 16

A message to anyone who feels bad about getting a P2S and NOT the X2D
When i bought my elegoo saturn 4 ultra 16k there was a countdown on their website. Same with my Samsung phone. Long countdowns. If you bought something in advance you would know. I just think it would have been better PR for them to announce these things. Instead there are annoyed people who have bu

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

Best resin printer for a first time buyer
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

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

Tempered glass screen protector question
You CAN get them from elegoo, but it takes like a month to arrive and some pain from the support team. You can by a replacement of Amazon. My Saturn 4 Ultra use a 10.1 inch protect if I remember correctly.

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

Screen's end of life ?
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

Was this a valid FEP change?
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.
