ELEGOO Saturn 4 Ultra 16K Resin 3D Printer with Flip-up Lid, Smart Tank Heating at 30 °C, 150mm/h High Speed Printing, Large Printing Size of 211.68 × 118.37× 220 mm³

The media could not be loaded. The Elegoo Saturn 4 16k is a beast!!!!!!I have waited about 2 weeks to do a review of this 3D printer. During that 2 weeks it has been printing constantly day and night.Firstly I have a lot of experience with 3d printers.This is my 5th in a four year period and it is without a doubt the greatest step forward in printing there has been in that time period.Why?The reasons for me are as follows.1. The heated vat is a game changer. Heating the resin to 30c means due to the heat the resin stays more fluid and flows back faster in the tray.Also my printers are in the garage which would have meant normally having to run expensive heaters which costs a small fortune over winter.2. The tilting Vat means as it peels itself away from the F.E.P. The vacuum from the F.E.P does not break the models supports so you get less failed prints.I have had zero fails on this printer to date.3. The volume of resin the vat holds is awesome, it’s just about 1 litre in total, which means no topping up mid print.4. The self levelling bed just works. Forget the drama you may have seen on some videos saying you need to level it yourself or even that you have to sand your build plate as its not flat, this is just not true, it is perfect.5. Printing speed. I am doing prints now in 3 hours which used to take 7, 8 or even 10 hours each.6. Resolution and detail is so good now it’s incredible. For miniatures it’s 100% as good as premium bought products.I have provided some photos and a video to show what this printer is able to do and can 100% recommend it. Also, if you are looking to get into the hobby of 3D printing this product is without doubt the easiest way to start, as it does everything for you without any issues.Its fairly priced in my opinion, and a lot of fun.Thanks for reading!

I have had an Elegoo Mars printer for a couple of years and it has always been a great little printer.I wanted to step up to something bigger and the Saturn S was a perfect fit. Settled between the standard Saturn and the Saturn Pro the S model offers great value for money.The print size compared to the old Mars is impressive, it only for printing larger prints it also enables you to print a lot more in a single print. At 196x122x210mm³ the print size is impressive.The S model also has a built in charcoal filter which filters out a lot of the fumes from the printer and it really does cut the smell down a lot. I use this printer in an unventilated spare room and the filter really does seem to make a difference.Print quality is excellent and once I sorted out my spare room to a reasonable background temperature I got some amazing prints.Setup and leveling of the build plate is very straight forward. Cleaning of the vat is ok, and it is simple to ad and remove it. The only thing I don’t like is the usb slot o the side. The Mars had it on the rear which was also awkward. Why Elegoo can’t put it on the front I never know

worth the money i got it for jewelery printing works very well at that well done elegoo.

Upgraded from a Mars 2 pro... LOVE the bigger build size! It was the main reason for upgrading.. lolFirst comment I have is, I had nothing but trouble with leveling the build plate!I leveled it, tighten it up.. and started printing! It worked great for a little while, But then it seemed to shift and loosen... In the end, I undid the screws and took them out completely and there was some metal shavings inside! cleared it out and it works great!Second comment I have is.. The UV display/light is weaker in the center of the screen... It leaves an egg shaped hole. Using defualt settings that is...Increased the 'bottom layer/burn in' exposure time by a few seconds, and it solved the problem!Only mention it, Because... after spending many an hour looking online for help.. I found NONE that fit that description.Other than the inital couple problems, It now works like a charm! :D

I honestly purchased this printer on a whim, I've been looking into resin printing for a while and really wanted to experience the results. My filament printer is brilliant for strong structural parts but really struggles with fine details such as figurines.Overall, the printer is easy to use and easy to setup. I were up and printing in no time.However, I neglected to check if any resin was included. It wasn't. I had the printer all setup and ready but no resin. Would be great if even a small amount of resin was included to test the printer and ensure its working. If you purchase this printer, get some resin too!The printer's output quality is absolutely stunning, anyone who has seen the prints has been astounded by the quality of the prints. I feels almost surreal that a small box you can put on a desk can create such high quality parts. So far it's mostly been used for figurines of which it prints effortlessly.The printer has one pain point. Getting prints off the bed is a nightmare and takes brute force. I highly recommend adding supports to every print so you don't damage the print when trying to pry it off, supports with a little sled also make it easier to pry parts off. A magnetic flexible print bed would be a great addition.Using resin for printing has been a bit of a learning curve, but hasn't been too difficult to get used to. The hardest part is understanding how fragile small prints can be. A filament printer can produce stronger parts but with lower quality, while a resin printer can print excellent quality parts but they're more fragile.A resin printer is perfect for decorative prints such as figurines and I'd highly suggest getting one. I went for this model purely for the size of the print bed so I can print some large models, for figurines you don't have to go for this size.
