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

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

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

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

This breaks my Heart

I had the same experience. Had the CC for 9 months total. It worked for 3 months. Then 6 months of talking back and forth with elegoo… took it apart 7 times. Several different parts, bad instructions, frustrating experience. I just got the replacement yesterday. Haven’t even opened it, I just decide

Saturn 4 Ultra Horrible Build Quality, Better Alternatives?

I'm returning an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16k as it had so many issues right out of the box. It arrived with the lcd touch screen not connected. The hopper mechanism was installed incorrectly (made incredible bang noises on the self test!!) and looks like it damaged the limit switch. Elegoo support wer

Newbie need help

I've only has Elegoo so I can't comment on other brands but I will say avoid the Saturn 4 Ultra the mechanism it uses isn't good for new comers, get the Saturn 4 basic or the Saturn 2 or 3, I still rock 2 Saturn 2s as they have proven to be a true workhorse and I'm lucky to have the original screen
