New to Resin - which saturn?
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

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

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

Anycubic vs Elegoo for beginner printers?
I have a Mars 4 (same screen) that makes amazing prints. The 5 has the benefit of faster printing due to the tilting vat. I only own Elegoo printers so can't speak to anything else. I found the Mars 4 fairly easy to approach. It doesn't matter what brand you get, the basic principles of resin printi

How to make details *sharper*?
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

Prints failing to stick to the plate - Saturn 4 Ultra
Not sure why the thread is all bad advice, but the biggest fix for poor adhesion with the Saturn 4 Ultra 12k* is Rest After Retract (Chitubox) / Wait time before cure (UVTools) for the first 10-20 layers. This is because the automatic leveling and spring-loaded build plate fail to settle the build p

New hoopat with the new silicon seal and it still leaked!
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

Suggestions for next printer?
If the Saturn 3 (non-Ultra) is available to you, it's the best bang for your buck and last of the non auto-leveling printers worth buying. Usually less than $270. Heygears is running a sale on the Reflex RS for $499, which is the lowest that printer has ever been. It's probably the only auto-levelin
