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

Best resin printer for Warhammer40k style minis?
I like my Elegoo Saturn 4. I'm not going to say it's best, but I will recommend it. But I'll also say, for me personally, chasing GW sculpts proved to be largely a waste of time. It's a bit of a struggle to find, and I find a lot of the sculpts out there for GW knockoffs are.... fine. They work and

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

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

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

Finally got around to setting up my printer and amazed how easy it is to use!
With my elegoo Saturn 4 it was maybe an hour max to setup before I was printing non stop, it’s been a work horse

Elegoo mars 5 competitor?
Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K is an amazing out the box printer. Heated vat, tilt up lid, auto leveling, send through WiFi printing and updating, and auto calibration. I’ve done NO configuration on mine besides inputting my resin type and selecting a community profile with the highest ratings. I use Sun

Prints are good, but the supports are too hard to remove.
I just acquired my saturn 4 ultra 16k, and I'm loving it so far, but I'm having a weird problem. the prints themselves are coming out great, but the supports are coming out too hard (there's a joke somewhere around here). I tried reducing the exposure time to see if it solves the problem, but I got
