The Elegoo Saturn is the counterpart to the smaller Elegoo Mars series of printers, which offer solid build quality for a reasonable price. The Saturn takes this formula to the extreme by offering a large 7.55 x 4.72 x 7.87-inch build volume while simultaneously increasing the resolution of the masking LCD. This, combined with the 2.5-second per-layer cure time from the Mono LCD, means that the Saturn can print more parts in the same amount of time as the smaller format Mars series of printers. 
Elegoo has developed a two-bolt bed leveling solution for the Saturn that makes the leveling process a quick and painless process. This, combined with the native integration with the Chitubox slicer app, makes setting up and using the Saturn a simple process that is ideal for both beginners as well as experienced users. 
The Saturn has a build volume of 280.46 cubic inches, a dramatic increase from the 100.81 cubic inch build volume of the smaller Elegoo Mars 2 Pro. If you&rsquo;re looking for a resin printer that offers a large build volume but you don&rsquo;t want to compromise with a lower quality print, the Saturn is an ideal solution but you might have to check Amazon several times before you can find one.
More: Elegoo Saturn Review

Combining the ease-of-use of the Elegoo Mars 2 Pro and the larger build volume of printers like the Anycubic Photon Mono X, the Elegoo Saturn is capable of printing large parts quickly just as easily as printing lots of small parts simultaneously. The .05mm XY resolution is on the lower side for most resin 3D printers, but the Saturn is still able to make smooth parts that require minimal post-processing.
Just like its smaller sibling the Mars 2 Pro, the Saturn uses a spring-loaded, self-leveling platform that makes calibration a breeze, something to be grateful for when you have such a large build volume. Replacing the FEP film on the vat is similarly easy, and the entire printing experience is designed to be as frictionless as possible thanks to the native integration with the Chitubox app.
The Saturn has a build volume of 280.46 cubic inches, a dramatic increase from the 100.81 cubic inch build volume of the smaller Elegoo Mars 2 Pro. If you&rsquo;re looking for a resin printer that offers a large build volume, but you don&rsquo;t want to compromise with a lower-quality print, the Saturn is an ideal solution. Originally very difficult to find in stock at release, Elegoo has since caught up with demand and the $499 Saturn is readily available at Amazon and on the Elegoo site.

 I don't know what the pricing is. Gon na be for replacement screens, if you need those how often you're gon na need those, but it should be. You know hundreds of hours of printing before you're gon na need a screen replacement fingers crossed and again I don't have the exact pricing of what this will be. The standard price, once this is listed on the places like Amazon, but as soon as I do I'll, have links now below or you can pick it up and it helps the channel out when you buy from the links down below

 Do not look directly at that panel. I'M not a good example here should be wearing my my safety glasses there, but one of the switches, nuts, which is one of the wires here on the front right side of the unit, just looks like it got knocked loose. So I was able to push that back in place and yeah everything's now connected and it's lighting up properly. So I'm going to rerun my test that I was just running here a second ago and we'll give it a shot

 You don't have to worry about, scraping it off as it's printing or anything like that. Nice, big knob, everything is pretty much all metal with its design and functionality here, which is just again great, build quality wise, as I mentioned in that beta video, I'm really loving the VAT for this. It has these little feet here. That'Ll not only make it easy for you to register it here on the printer itself, so they just kind of slide it into place there and you know it's in place, but it also makes it great that if you wanted to sit this down on a tabletop You'D have to worry about the fehb sheet resting on your tabletop, and then we have the 4k 8

 You know hundreds of hours of printing before you're gon na need a screen replacement fingers crossed and again I don't have the exact pricing of what this will be. The standard price, once this is listed on the places like Amazon, but as soon as I do I'll, have links now below or you can pick it up and it helps the channel out when you buy from the links down below. Thank you very much. I also want to say a huge thank you to all my patreon supporters

Elegoo Saturn - 4k Mono Screen Resin 3D Printer! Initial Impressions

The EPAX seems like the best choice, but it’s over my price range once I factor in other stuff like the curing station. The 4K printers seem to be underproduced and only one of the companies even has parts for sale. It might just be cheaper and better using a big 3d printer company to print out my stuff, but I'm not sure on their prices.

**Must be a reputable company that has the printer and parts in stock for sale now**, not a month from now. 

 Happy New Year everyone! Welcome back to another purchase megathread!

For a link to last month's post, see [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/koaslp/purchase_advice_megathread_what_to_buy_who_to_buy/).

This thread is meant to conglomerate purchase advice for both newcomers and people looking for additional machines. Keeping this discussion to one thread means less searching should anyone have questions that may already have been answered here, as well as more visibility to inquiries in general, as comments made here will be visible for the entire month stuck to the top of the sub, and then linked to in the next month's thread.

If you are new to 3D printing, and are unsure of what to ask, try to include the following in your posts as a minimum:

* Your budget, set at a numeric amount. Saying "cheap," or "money is not a problem" is not an answer people can do much with. 3D printers can cost $100, they can cost $10,000,000, and anywhere in between. A rough idea of what you're looking for is essential to figuring out anything else.
* Your country of residence.
* If you are willing to build the printer from a kit, and what your level of experience is with electronic maintenance and construction if so.
* What you wish to do with the printer.
* Any extenuating circumstances that would restrict you from using machines that would otherwise fit your needs (limited space for the printer, enclosure requirement, must be purchased through educational intermediary, etc).

While this is by no means an exhaustive list of what can be included in your posts, these questions should help paint enough of a picture to get started. Don't be afraid to ask more questions, and never worry about asking too many. The people posting in this thread are here because they want to give advice, and any questions you have answered may be useful to others later on, when they read through this thread looking for answers of their own. Everyone here was new once, so chances are whoever is replying to you has a good idea of how you feel currently.

Additionally, a quick word on print quality: Most FDM/FFF (that is, filament based) printers are capable of approximately the same tolerances and print appearance, as the biggest limiting factor is in the nature of extruded plastic. **Asking if a machine has "good prints," or saying "I don't expect the best quality for $xxx" isn't actually relevant for the most part** with regards to these machines. Should you need additional detail and higher tolerances, you may want to explore SLA, DLP, and other photoresin options, as those *do* offer an increase in overall quality. If you are interested in resin machines, make sure you are aware of [how to use them safely](https://www.reddit.com/r/3DPrinting/wiki/resinprinting#wiki_safety). For these reasons we don't usually recommend a resin printer as someone's first printer.

Purchase Advice Megathread: What To Buy, Who To Buy It From, And More, In February 2021

 (You should be able to slip an included thin card between the extruder nozzle and platform, meeting only slight resistance.) Under each corner of the platform is a knob, the turning of which raises or lowers that corner. You move the extruder to each corner in turn, slipping the card between nozzle and platform and adjusting the knob if needed, to make sure the alignment is correct. You then repeat the process at least once, re-checking all four corners plus the platform's center

 Although we recommend that beginners stick with PLA because of its ease of use, more experienced users may want to experiment with the other filaments.

 It supports a variety of filament types and employs fused filament fabrication&nbsp;(FFF) technology. The price is attractive for those new to or wanting to experiment with 3D printing, but know that its print-bed alignment proved to be finicky in our tests, which had an impact on the print quality of at least one of our test objects. Still, although it may involve some tinkering and a learning curve, the Mega S is easy enough to assemble and is a good choice for beginners&mdash;just make sure that youngsters don't get too close to the exposed, hot extruder.

Anycubic i3 Mega S Review

 I want something basic to begin dealing with shapes, surfaces, etc. Zbrush seems like an overkill for my skill and what I need, and Fusion360 for personal use is no longer available. I'm happy to pay for software, doesn't have to be free, but a bit hesitant to pony up $50/month for something that's obviously intended for professionals.

 I'm happy to pay for software, doesn't have to be free, but a bit hesitant to pony up $50/month for something that's obviously intended for professionals.

Just got the AnyCubic Mega S and I'm super impressed how easy to set up and use it is. The sample print came out really darn good with basic $25 PLA spool from amazon.

Purchase Advice Megathread: What To Buy, Who To Buy It From, And More, In January 2021

  The point is, I'm doing fast, simple stuff, so YMMV.  I can print 3 frames in 3.25 hours whereas the Makerbots print 2 in 4 hours, with rafts. The three use the same amount of filament as one on the Makerbot

 Also have Mega S for boutique prints and testing slicer settings.  I feel I have already got most of the value out of my printers in this project and have used over 50 reels of filament.

  The Ultrabase sticks reliably. Things went of the rails a bit after half a a dozen prints, but I realized that grease from my fingers was messing with adhesion. I cleaned the bed with Windex (generic) and became a lot more careful. Things have been sweet since then, I check level and clean the plate every three days,  How long it will last, and how difficult it will be to replace the extruder with the provided spare, I have yet to discover

Great at price-point

 I can go smaller (220X220X300 is fine but don't really want under 8''). I want something precise enough to be able to assemble parts and can repeat itself were I can replace those assembled parts.

While this is by no means an exhaustive list of what can be included in your posts, these questions should help paint enough of a picture to get started. Don&#39;t be afraid to ask more questions, and never worry about asking too many. The people posting in this thread are here because they want to give advice, and any questions you have answered may be useful to others later on, when they read through this thread looking for answers of their own. Everyone here was new once, so chances are whoever is replying to you has a good idea of how you feel currently.

Additionally, a quick word on print quality: Most FDM/FFF (that is, filament based) printers are capable of approximately the same tolerances and print appearance, as the biggest limiting factor is in the nature of extruded plastic. Asking if a machine has &quot;good prints,&quot; or saying &quot;I don&#39;t expect the best quality for $xxx&quot; isn&#39;t actually relevant for the most part with regards to these machines. Should you need additional detail and higher tolerances, you may want to explore SLA, DLP, and other photoresin options, as those do offer an increase in overall quality. If you are interested in resin machines, make sure you are aware of <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/3DPrinting/wiki/resinprinting#wiki_safety">how to use them safely</a>. For these safety reasons we don&#39;t usually recommend a resin printer as someone&#39;s first printer.

Purchase Advice Megathread: What To Buy, Who To Buy It From, And More, In May 2021

 Period. This machine is actually underpriced for the quality it outputs.  I bought my first 3D printer over a year and a half ago after doing extensive research (as you are most likely doing now) I purchased an i3 Mega. I was very excited to enter into this new area of 3D Printing

This is the printer you are looking for!

 With these changes, the owls printed again, better than the initial run. A different color film also worked perfectly. Three stars, because if you are not tech savvy and patient, this won't work for you. This is a step above something home built, but not plug and play with zero issues

 Three stars, because if you are not tech savvy and patient, this won't work for you. This is a step above something home built, but not plug and play with zero issues. Besides the plate issue, I can see future issues with the microswitches (why not PE devices?) and belt drives. On the good side, the HMI screen is really user friendly and well planned
