Saturn 4 Ultra

Thank you! I currently have an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra printer, which I recently upgraded to from a much smaller Elegoo Mars (first generation). It's been pretty much foolproof since I bought it, once I'd manually levelled it. I also have the Elegoo Mercury Plus v3 wash and cure station, which has hug

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

No build plate flatness issue with the Saturn 4 Ultra outside rare individual defects, but it will typically not achieve 100% perfect Z accuracy the first several layers. You will want to use a high amount of Rest After Retract (Chitubox) / Wait time before cure (UVTools) using UVTools for the first

Have fun with it! The print quality seems nice and sharp. And yes there are design flaws, but they're on every printer (Elegoo Saturn 4 ultra build plate for example)

Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K is an amazing out the box printer. Heated vat, tilt up lid, auto leveling, send through WiFi printing and updating, and auto calibration. I’ve done NO configuration on mine besides inputting my resin type and selecting a community profile with the highest ratings. I use Sun

I recently found this as well. It appears recent firmware to avoid the "lasagna bug" is either skipping layers or skipping the gray pixels when it can't load the image to the LCD fast enough. I have similar results with my own experiments in vertical smoothing / AA here: https://www.reddit.com/r/res

Did it start to fail at the back and split moving forward like this? https://www.reddit.com/r/resinprinting/comments/1n8gh14/help_with_st_flex_black_70a_parts_of_print_stop/ If so it is partially because the resin stretches and the tilt stroke of the S4U is shorter at the back than the front. Fixes are roug

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

FDM printers are fine for buildings or larger things in N scale, but most anything with detail you're going to want a resin printer. Clean up time is not too crazy usually. Getting the right amount, but not too few supports for a model is a bit of an art. The more supports the more pock-marks you'll

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.
