Saturn 3

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

Saturn 3 non-Ultra. 19x24um pixel, close to the 22um pixel of a Mini 8K S. Much better UV uniformity, full PWM UV control (Mini 8K S doesn't have that). Moddable gcode. Full wait time support (Mini 8K S doesn't respect wait time after print). Adjustable Z axis offset (or use my leveling method to el

The scales swing often with printer manufacturers. At one point one company will be great and dish out some awesome stuff, at another they'll be dishing out trash and someone else will take over. Like Bambulab came out with the best FDM printers out of nowhere, now they're spiraling downward with un

If the Saturn 3 is available, get that. It’s actually better than the Ultra, despite the internet… has better UV uniformity, comes with nFEP/PFA release film as standard (Elegoo discontinued using ACF after the Mars 4 Ultra and Saturn 3 Ultra). Level using my method and you’ll eliminate Z axis compr

That's interesting, thank you for sharing! I hadn't found that project yet. Yes, I also want it to just work! My main complaints are that it doesn't just work, and klipper + orca just work. It took a bit to get my calibrations from SuperSlic3r transferred over, and I'm not yet used to the UI, but fo

What resin are you using? My settings on my Saturn 3 ultras are as follows. Bottom exposure 30s Normal exposure 1.4 to 1.8s depending on the resin Normal lift height 1mm + 2mm (that's what cuts your print time down to nothing not lift speed, you can go from 120mm to 240mm normal lift speed and it on

The Saturn 3 Ultra has worse UV uniformity, can have casting issues that prevent you from fully leveling, and comes with ACF release film as standard. ACF is known to cause fine vertical lines on smooth surfaces, and people complained so much Elegoo discontinued it after the Mars 4 Ultra and Saturn

Worse UV uniformity, has the same design as Phrozens, which have a mirror in the path and so only the central area of the LCD has good UV power and it drops off like a cliff afterwards. Elegoo went back to the design of the Saturn 2/3 for the Saturn 4s (COB + fresnel only). Also can get bad castings
