ELEGOO Saturn S 3D Printer - High-Quality Printing for Professional Results

SSkinner: Goodness, when this machine works, it WORKS! It prints beautiful models; largest I’ve printed so far has been 8 inches at its largest dimension. Any print fails seem to be my own fault, or that of the resin I’m using, but I see two related issues that every owner should consider:

1.) The USB port on top of the printer, directly adjacent to the cover’s vent patch, is really only usable with proprietary, consumable air filters. This is next to useless (beyond its potential to impede any actual filtration system you install in the patch) as these air filters are far from enough to nullify most resin fume toxicity.

2.) No on-board resin temperature control, nor in-built support for such technology. Basically, you have to rig up a heating system through the vent patch, which is a pain.

Simple solution to both problems, though: that air filtration USB port I mentioned… up the voltage and we can plug a vat heater into that.

Tiffany: Have done multiple prints with it and have had 0 fails. Still really new to resin 3d printing but I think this is probably the best one I could of picked. No issues whatsoever.

Michael A Crossman: This is my fifth resin printer but my first from Elegoo and so far I'm impressed. Just have to see if it can stand up to the wear and tear of constant use.

Jay Cooley: I did a bit of looking around before settling on this printer. In my "research" (web browsing) I came to realize that I wouldn't benefit from having an 8k printer. My eye, and apparetly others, struggle to see any real difference between most on 4k to 8k. I decided this printer had an installed userbase and the brand had a good name.

I've been very pleased with the build quality, the print quality, and Elegoos support. I ended up getting resin on the inside of my cover and Elegoo was kind enough to squash my OCD by sending me a new one, free. Support was quick given the time difference and I had my new, clean cover inside of 2 weeks from China.

This printer will come with most of what you need to get started if you're new. Scraper, gloves, filters, tools, everything but resin. If new to resin printing there's only a few must haves after that.

I've printed quite a few different things and have had nice success. Only issues were my own mistakes in supporting or resin settings. Details are great as well, surprising at times.

I suspect this will last me a bit, but if I need or want another printer I will be buying an Elegoo branded...

Timothy R.: I bought a Mars printer (earlier smaller version) a few years ago as my entry into resin based printing having spent many years in the FDM world.

This was easy to set up and get my first test print running (castle rook that came on the usb drive). The software that comes with it is easy to use if you know about slicing software already and most likely low learning curve for someone new into the space. Again, I've been using slicing software for 10+ years so it was very easy for me.

It only came with one tray and cover, I recommend buying additional trays (sold here on Amazon) to make it easier to switch colors or resin types if you do a lot of that. Otherwise, one would suffice for most people printing models or figures that they plan to paint anyway. ( Usually print functional parts and gears, so I change colors or resin types a lot). Whether you purchase additional tanks or not, you will definitely want to have on hand replacement film for the tanks in the event you damage it or accidentally expose the film to UV light when cleaning the tank to change resins.

Probably my only gripe is that the prints stick SO Good to the build plate,...

Gus: Me gusto el tamaño pero algo importante a tomar en cuenta es que en piezas pequeñas como que algo falta, no es igual que imprimir con impresoras pequeñas
