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

Looking to replace my current printers. Need input from professionals

Yeah Anycubic long term support is ass. I own an M3 Premium and they ended support for them almost 2 years ago, yet I can still order parts (other than LCDs) for my Saturn 2s from Elegoo... which are the same age as the M3 Premium. Heygears is supposed to open up some of their settings later this ye

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

My friend's saturn 4 ultra has it's screws going up and down on the build plate, is this normal??

Ignore Hupdeska, they are constantly posting BS without knowing what is going on. Normal for early / base layers on the S4U to pop the spring floated screws, but it is not the best for the LCD lifespan. It's the build plate being forced up by the tilt release return, and usually some base layers whi

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

3D Printing Questions

What is your budget? With resin have you considered all the other things you need outside the printer to use the machine safe and effectively? I have taken the deep dive into resin printing HO scale models including full freight cars. Resin printers ship with the slicer software and there are open s

Is this the quality I should expect from the Saturn 4 Ultra 16k?

This. The default settings on my Saturn 4 Ultra 16k where WAY high, so everything was "chonky" and parts wouldn't fit together. Downloaded the cones of calibration, did a multi-exposure test, and iirc ended up around 1.75 seconds, with the default being (again iirc) 2.3 seconds. At default, getting

New to resin printing, is the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K a good first choice?

Heygears printers are basically bambu of resin. They are not only way, wayhigher quality (build, screen, lcd light uniformity, etc) than the rest like elegoo, uniformation, phrozen, etc., but also because people at heygears actually understand resin printing unlike those at elegoo and others mention
