Mars 4

Elegoo Saturn 3 \ Saturn 3 ultra if you need smth bigger. Elegoo mars 4 ultra if small one. All 3 are good budget printers. Good resin for minis - Anycubic abs-like pro 2. Durable, tough, pretty cheap

If you need high detail look at resin printers elegoo mars are cheap to get into. Not super durable, but they are high detail. If you are looking for filament, get a Bambu. All of them are good and require very little messing with. A P1S isn’t a bad place to start. You can add multi color later if y

I have an elegoo mars 2 pro. I've had it a while now buts it's been fantastic really. I spent £200 on it and I think another £100 or so on the matching wash and cure station. If you use the low odour resin you shouldn't need much ventilation as most newer printers come with built in ventilation

I have 2 elegoo printers (Mars 4 Max and Saturn 4U 16k), and can’t complain with any, they are 2 workbeasts. It’s much a matter of luck and proper maintenance.

I use elegoo mars 4. It does it job, it s a rather simple machine. It s also made in china, so expect some problems, and that a few parts (fep but also screen) are consumables that u have to change once in a while. You can get one for fairly cheap and l see very few reasons to buy a more expensive o

I recommend the mars 4 ultra, but to change the fep for the mars 4 non ultra out of the box. The mars 4 ultra comes with ACF film which is cloudy and can reduce print sharpness. The mars non ultra 4 has a clear fep. Very easy to change. Or just live with the cfa film, its less sharp but not by a mas

I second this. A resin printer would also be good to use to print your figure and cast it into a mold in order to produce more. Personally, I have 2 Elegoo Mars 4 Max printeds and an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra, I love them both! One of my Max printers just had the screen die, but I had gotten a lot of us

generally speaking the "cost" to do resin 3D printing is mostly all in up front costs. as an example. last summer I bought the elegoo mars 5 ultra resin printer. was on sale (memorial day? maybe 4th of july) for under $250. I also got a combo deal for their mercury wash/cure station. think that was

Because the non Ultra has better UV uniformity (light). The Ultra can also have bad castings in the build plate head and z arm that can prevent you from leveling it. The non Ultra comes with nFEP/PFA release film, while the Ultra comes with ACF. ACF causes fine vertical lines to appear on smooth sur

I had a Saturn 2 that was a similar lemon. Their earlier ball joint levelling just never worked well on anything large. My Mars 1 was great, Mars 4 had the screen go bad 4 weeks in (Elegoo did send me a replacement but it took almost 5 weeks on the slow boat so I bought a different printer anyways).
