I had ONE print actually come out that didnt fail. So frustrated with this 3d printer. Im using the Elegoo Plant based photopolymer resin. As you can see in my pic, yet another failure. Ive made exposure adjustments and just about everything else you can think of, but it still fails. Im done with this POS and Im sending it back. I didnt spend $500 to have a 3D printer continually fail.

my only gripe is that it doesnt have carbon filters like the newer models

bottom line..just buy it. There is a reason it is almost never available anywhere...its that good.

I owned an Elegoo Mars since 2020 and rarely had problems with it. The Saturn S has failed almost consistently to produce a successful print. It constantly un-levels itself and it is almost impossible to get plate adhesion. Every attempt is followed by having to remove the vat and remove all of the resin that stuck to the film instead of the plate. This is not strictly user error. I have printed for three years and not encountered so many problems in all that time as I have so far with this new machine. I am so disappointed that I spent over $300 on a machine that despite my best efforts, does not want to perform. I dont recommend this machine to anyone.

Love to print all action figures.print is amazing use the right resin to get good quality happy printing guys

Coming from a first gen Elegoo Mars, I was already pretty familiar with the resin printing process, using slicers, post curing, etc. So jumping into the SATURN was super easy and I was printing within 10 minutes of opening the box. But, what about those totally new and looking for their first printer? You have one of the biggest build areas in the market and probably the biggest in the sub $500 market. Sure, you could get a smaller resin printer, but the flexibility and production it allows me is beyond compare. There is so much help online with Youtube videos, expert advice, printer forums, etc. There is not an issue you could have that you cannot get answered within minutes, if you look. Dont be scared of resin printing. I use the low odor resin and the SATURN is so quiet and sealed that I hear almost nothing across the room and the only smell I get is when I remove the lid. Those moving from a smaller machine will love its larger build plate and if not on a monochrome screen, the faster print/exposure times. Some settings need to be adjusted a bit different from a smaller printer, but a lot of help online about this. With your previous experience, you will be enjoying the benefits super quick - I just needed to get bigger rinse bins. A super clean design and does not really take up much desk room. Packed superbly with great care. Some things I wish were done a bit different: - Tempered glass cover on print screen. I put a piece of FEP on it as many have had some leaks that would spell trouble for an unprotected screen. So fairly easily fixed. - On/Off switch on side of machine - I really am not crazy about reaching all the way around the back where the switch is located now- but, this is not a huge thing. - Include a drip bracket so you can tilt the plate after printing to drain resin back into the vat. There are versions online and highly recommend this be your first print. So, super easy fix. Some other things to watch for when unpacking and getting ready to print, and along the way: - Be sure to remove the packing material and protectors carefully, per the instructions. It might be easy to leave the film on the bottom of the build plate, etc. - Make sure the factory installed FEP film is super tight on the bottom of your vat. If it is loose you will need to tighten it; otherwise you will not be able to pull clear your prints that are in the middle of the plate and the print could fail. - Be sure to buy a pack of FEP film in the correct size. You will need to replace at some point, but with care you will get miles from each one. - Be sure to print with angled bases so prints are easily pried off the build plate. I like to only use the plastic scraper and as long as the support base is angled, you can easily get under and pry it right off with absolutely no scratching of the metal build plate. - Be sure to have plenty of resin. The tank is big, so needs a lot to fill it up. I am having an absolute blast with this machine and it is super quiet, (much more quiet than my Mars), super fast prints, (run a resin print plate test to get your best exposure times for the resin you use), great detailed prints and really nicely designed. The slicer, ChituBox, is also super easy and intuitive to learn. Elegoo is a class company and their customer service is great during one issue I had with my Mars, so this was another reason the SATURN was a no-brainer for me.

Ive been using this printer for a few months now and Ive barely had a failed print. Between the print quality and the build volume, Im incredibly happy.

test print took 2h and 50 min no visible print line cleaning took around 15 min with alcohol bath and sun curing (on sunny hot day ) very simple to set up

I have been loving this printer since I got it, fast and with enough build volume that I can print terrain for my miniatures games! Customer service was also EXCELLENT and sent me a replacement screen after mine was damaged.

Absolutely amazing and Im a complete amateur with 3d printing. The pictures are of my first print, no messing with settings, just sliced the files, pored in the resin and hit print. Detail is incredible! The discoloration is from me adding more resin 2/3 of the way through printing.
