Saturn 4

Resin in also 3d printing. They are most definitely resin. Elegoo Saturn 4 ultra 16k and don’t even look elsewhere.

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

ACF has it's downsides, namely causing fine vertical lines on smooth surfaces. There was such a backlash against it, Elegoo stopped using ACF on new printers. No Mars 5 or Saturn 4 model uses ACF. nFEP/PFA however is a straight upgrade from FEP, and is cheaper than ACF. And yes, it uses the same ten

Currently have 12 resin printers running Elegoo Mars 5 ultra and Saturn 4 ultra are the 2 newest I have and work great.

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

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

I see that a Elegoo Mars 5 is 160€, and Saturn 4 is 280€. The Mars is basically a smaller version (ie smaller build plate). Both are pretty good deals. But please note that you need to get a lot of equipment besides the printer, both for safety and post processing. You are not getting away with ~200

That's what I was thinking. I dont know if it is the water washable resin or what, but my wife and I started with resin printing with the Saturn 4 Ultra, and it prints amazing detail with out of the box functionalities. It generally either fails to print entirely or prints beautifully. Larger pieces

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

The story people keep trying to spin about the frequency of problems with the automatic leveling build plate simply ignores scale of how many S4Us are out there in use. And there is a very simple solution with increase Wait time before cure for the first 10 or so layers. The Saturn 4 Ultra 12k and 1
