Wait, what?! Does an expert like you still go with crazy bottom layer times like 27-35secs or was it just a default setting? If I have one pet peeve when it comes to resin printing it's people using way longer exposure times than they need. I speculate you fry your screen faster this way, too. Not because the extra mins are anything in the greater scheme of a multiple hour print but because you may be putting a whole lot more heat into the screen. I have yet to have a "bed adhesion" failure on my old, trusty Anycubic 4K Mono and my bottom expos are ~x5 the regular exposure time. Meaning I am often at just 10-12 secs and only four layers. And nope, I didn't come up with this, smarter people did, but it simply works. Besides that, great review. I am hoping the tilting mech can also help resins with heavy die or ceramic particles, etc in them to not settle out so fast. On long prints, this is sometimes an issue. So, maybe the swirling will keep the particles suspended better but at least the faster print time will help.

I am glad you took even more time and actually opened it. I am also happy you talked about the grip when holding the Build Plate - I sent a message about it to Elegoo. Let’s see if they’ll have time to do something about it… otherwise, I will create yet another MOD for the printer. Oh, I didn’t test, but maybe it is possible to manually adjust the actual pressure of each corner, tightening the springy screws.

As I am just getting into the resin printer side of the 3D printing hobby I was just about to get the GKtwo over the Saturn 3 Ultra, however, this new model with its seeming ease of entry use makes me feel like I should go with the Saturn 4 Ultra. I wish it had that heater built in, but with the cost savings being close to 50% I can use the other monies to get a wash and cure station at the same time instead of DIYing those solutions. Thanks for the review, by the way, your lid open dimensions were exactly what I was hoping to hear as the machine will be going into a closed structure with outdoor venting. Cheers!

Does the tilt mechanism make a huge difference, a super thin supports possible. 2. Can you talk more about the "auto level", can I ajust the screws or change the higt of the plattform? 3.

Great review Ross for the money and the features you mentioned this sure is worth having a second look. Curious to see if those mini heaters are efficient or worthless and it would of been nice if the lift up cover would of had the hinges in a more functioning position as to allow the cover to be raised up and not pass beyond the back of the printer especially for those with limited space. I don't know if someone has shown the true leveling of the bed to the vat but that would be interesting to see also. I will be on the look out for your next review on this printer, thanks for your work and time.

Yeah this flip lid looks like a massive downgrade from the old lift off lid. I can easily put a lift off lid on the floor, but I can't add an extra 25cm to the depth of my work surface and print tent. I suspect I will just undo the hinge and turn it into a lift off lid :)

Great review! :) I pre-ordered an S4U recently so it's nice to see a positive look at it. I see Anycubic have just announced the Mono 7 with a heated vat, a resin pump, a 14k screen (for whatever that's worth) and they've increased the Z height so the build volume is on a par or maybe slightly better than this. Of course they don't have the tilting vat and in the UK it'll be significantly more expensive than the S4U.

Great review, thank you! So...between the GKTwo and the Saturn 4 ultra...all other things being equal and cost not being a factor, which would you choose? Also, for some unclear reason, I tend to get consistent suction/peel force related failures, despite my long bottom layer exposure times and releveling. So the peel away tech of this new printer has massive appeal. Any hopes of seeing this tech surface on the next Uniformation printer? Or not needful because of other factors inherent in the GKTwo?

@Londubh 3 ай бұрын

It's awesome that the Calibration mode allows you to specifically set the time, rather than them deciding what the steps will be for you. That allows you a Binary (Quintinary, actually) Search for dialing in a new resin. For example, if consensus is that the optimum print time is somewhere between 3.7 and 4.1, you can do as follows: Print 1: 3.5, 3.75, 4.0, 4.25 --Two Best: 3.75 & 4.0 Print 2: 3.8, 3.85, 3.9, 3.95 --Two best: 3.95, 4.0 Print 3: 3.96, 3.97, 3.98, 3.99 --Two best: 3.96, 3.97 Print 4: 3.962, 3.964, 3.966, 3.968 --Two best: ???? With _one_ more print, splitting the difference between the two best from print 4, and you've dialed in the perfect print time for that resin to the maximum precision in Chitubox. Plus, if one of the earlier prints was "perfect" from your perspective, then you're done. Add in some sort of resin temperature control, and you should have effectively perfect prints every time with only _four_ test prints total.

And another thing I'm curious about is if the temperature affects it less then the normal way of printing, of course the best is to have the right temperature, but would be nice to see if this printer is less affected then the others due to this new mechanics.

@porksoda0 3 ай бұрын

I appreciate having the heater and carbon filter as an optional extra, as I print in enclosures with heaters and extraction external to the printer, and i can't be the only one!. I think it makes sense to add those items if you need them as people like me would be put off paying a higher price for these features.

@JC02102 3 ай бұрын

Same. Personally, the carbon filter does absolutely nothing for me. I have an extraction fan hooked up to the back too which on paper should be more than enough but I think the machine (Saturn 2 in this case) just isn't airtight as I need to it be. Without a respirator I can always smell it if I'm in the same room and if I'm there for even 5-10 minutes my throat gets scratchy in a way I've never experienced. Similar story for the heater. Heating the vat instead of the air made more sense to me so I was always going to go DIY.

@BabyJesus66 3 ай бұрын

Agreed. I don't need a heater at all. So I'd prefer to not pay for something I don't need. I wish they'd to that with all the extras that not everyone wants, and just keep the price low as it can be... like the AI camera, I don't care about that at all.

This is really cool. I like the speed and the detail of it. I don't really like the potential for disaster from the unprotected screen. I've lost screens before due to resin leaking under the tape seal and I don't relish having to replace a screen in something with a tilt mechanism. That said, if they do the same with a Mars ultra later this year, I'll probably be on board.

@scottpovlot7376 3 ай бұрын

Ross, this really is the best Saturn 4 Ultra review I have seen. I am a bit skeptical about the lack of speed options in the slicer and just Slow/Fast in the printer. I agree that the tilt helps so much with peel forces. This is great for beginners. But more advanced users should be able to experiment with even faster options. Hopefully, an option can be made as firmware update. I was also surprised you didn't mention that a handle would be helpful. I saw you lift the lid with your pinky which is great. And then I thought that I would have a whole bunch of fingerprints all over the front.

Ross, I did it. I pre Ordered the Saturn Ultra 4 with your link but now I need some advice. What do I do with my old Anycubic Mono X with a burnt out screen lol. It’s not worth the cost to replace the screen in my opinion and I don’t want to a ship it anywhere due to cost. Thrift shop I guess? Or maybe recycle the UV light for a new post process curing box?

Great review, enjoyed it a lot. With regard to the AI camera lighting issue. I don't really see it as a cheeky on the part of elegoo because you can just light the shot from outside the case, (which they may have done for their shot on their website) with the added advantage of knowing it is going to have any stray 405nm light filtered out.

@jtrain9926 3 ай бұрын

Kudos to Elegoo for some very big innovations with the Saturn 4. I was very close to picking this up, but the lack of a vat heater makes it a pass for me. Specifically, the design of this tank will make it very hard to get a vat-band around (off the shelf fermentation bands will not fit). I print in a garage that gets down to 10C and a chamber heater cannot warm the system up fast/efficiently enough to be practical for me.

This seems like an incredible machine! I got an Anycubic Photon S around two months ago, second hand for 80€ to see if I liked 3d resin printing and I'm loving it, even if it's a bit old and slow haha I'm thinking about buying this one as it's really cheap for all it has here in Europe, but I don't know if it's maybe overkill for a beginner in 3d printing? I do model my own stuff, both artistic and functional

@awildtomappeared5925 3 ай бұрын

the s3u had a glass screen protector, if you try and scratch the corner of the screen with a craft knife or something and it doesn't scratch then it's glass so it must be a screen protector, if it scratches then it could be a plastic protector but more likely just no protector. Also, an overlooked feature of the tilting vat is that it will keep the resin mixed much more which is great for long prints (well it would be if the vat was big enough to fit more resin, m3 premium vat is a godsend) or resins that seperate a lot.

@awildtomappeared5925 3 ай бұрын

2:20 that bolt on the lid, if you tighten it does the lid have more friction? I made a lid mod for my saturn 1 using hinges from a monitor that I could adjust the friction on by tightening a bolt, and I've recently made a 3d printed hinge that works just the same, when I get around to it I will mod my m3 premium and saturn 3u with the printed hinge and share how I did it

@Phobos2k 3 ай бұрын

I have very probably seen a big problem. At 19:12 you can see how the spring at the front right relaxes when the tank is lowered and is compressed again when the tank is raised. So the LCD is pressing on the model.

@Gaston12345 3 ай бұрын

I have seen feature requests on the prusa platform to enable switching off the tilting. Reason: as the tilting force is not perpendicular, the parts tend to warp. Is this likely to be an issue? If so, I would suggest a printer with two tilting mechanisms, one on each side, so the tilting could be done alternatively front-down and back-down, to even that out. Would not even be much more expensive imo.

Most anything with a tilt lid like this isn't going to seal well (or at all really). Form over function I guess. The "old" style full covers are MUCH easier to seal. We've come to the point where it's pretty much a requirement to add a cover to the cover. WTF, right?!

hey quick question. I have never had a resin printer before, and all the talk or the air purifiers scares me a little bit. If i got a printer, id mainly have to keep it in my bedroom. So, how good are the elegoo filters? Would it be ok for me just to use 1, or 2, of the USB filter sticks (not sure which printer ill get, might help decide)? would the mars mate filter be ok? or would the only real solution for to get one that filters everything outside through a hose, through my window. i was planning on getting either the saturn 3 or the ultra version, but if the saturn 4 series will have an external port for this, maybe that would be a better fit. i wouldn't print very often either, maybe once a week at most, if that changes anything

I’m curious about one thing, seeing that the ultra 3 which is what I own and this are essentially using the same internals, will the 3 ultra get this resin calibration capability in a firmware update possibly?

Great review as always. I would buy now based on this... except.... no heater, which in a UK garage setup is a must. Can I ask the heater test includes how well does when using the venting hole also? I just don't see how that heater will provide adequate, consistent resin temperature. For me as my first switch to resin printing gkTwo with its heated bed still winning. I'm really hoping Elegoo can compete on the heater requirement as for budget with wash n cure also best deal... tbc
