Saturn 4

Generally speaking the Saturn 4 Ultra 16k is the best option for most people. I investigated and wrote the original post explaining the 3-bit grayscale deficiency and it is still present. I also bought a S4U 16k and subsequently worked out a dithering method with UVTools to restore a significant por

Elegoo Mars 3 Pro, Saturn 3 and Saturn 4 Ultra owner, been running them for the past 4 years +. (Starting slowly with the Mars and building up to the later ones. ) I use Chitubox Pro for slicing. Only had an issue once with a power switch pcb which Elegoo was happy to provide after verifying it was

I think the anti-aliasing is the big culprit for smudging details. The Saturn 4 ultra doesn't need anti-aliasing, especially with their 8k resin. The details will be crisp and sharp. AA will remove that sharpness. It is useful if you're printing transparent, to prevent cloudiness, because then those

With the spring-loaded build plate on the Mars 5 Ultra, similar to the Saturn 4 Ultra, it needs extra Rest After Retract (Chitubox) / Wait time before cure (UVTools) for the first 10-20 layers. Around 20-40s for those early layers in the print work well, but probably less for the smaller build plate

I’ve got the saturn 4 ultra from Elegoo. This is my first one! I found it really beginner friendly. Ive started using siraya tech fast strong. That resin works wonders. If you ever need advice or whatever feel free to ask :)

Oh nice! Right to the source of it all thank you. I actually use PFA instead of ACF, Elegoo tried acf with the Saturn 3 and then ditched it. Chitu ships PFA with this hoopat x4 for the Saturns as well so I just kept using it. So far it’s worked great on my Saturn 4 ultra 16k. Very few failures. I ac

I have a Prusa Mini+ (FSM, not great for models) A friend has a really cheap resin printer, I think an Anycubic. A colleague has a really nice Elegoo Saturn 4 ultra (I think), though I am not sure if he'd print something this big for me. My main dislike is not the finish, but the workability of the

1 - My top recommendation is the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra either 16k or 12k. Pros and cons of each: 16k has a heated vat which is good for unheated spaces as well as better for engineering resins with higher viscosity which print better heated. 16k only has 3-bit grayscale / 6 usable shades of gray (12

Yes same. I got in the habit of not using it in my shed over winter (until I made an enclosure, with ventilation and filters, so I could use it in house). I also I have had my eye on the creality HALOT-X1 as possiblity my next printer as it has the heated resin vat, pump on vat (for auto refilll or

I bought a Saturn 4 Ultra 16k with the Mercury V3 a couple weeks ago. It's my first resin printer, but I got perfect prints after an initial calibration. I tried Elegoo water washable, Elegoo plant based ABS like and ended up with Anycubic Bio Resin. All printed with very few failure and most were n
