Glorious! Thanks for using that model! Best, JBR

[@herculeholmes504]

I keep looking at that model over on Cults. I've got a huge, huge pile of unpainted grey resin already, but I'll probably buy it sooner or later, it's been on my wish-list for a while. I wonder if I could add ball-joints or swivels to it to make it poseable? Just a thought.

[@johnbearross]

@@herculeholmes504 I have tried in the past to make a more posable framework for my mechs. Regular, more brittle resins don't like my solutions to this, so far. I will keep plugging away at it. For now, I have found that pinning or a mix of glue and putty is best, but the pose is locked in position. Best, JBR

[@scottlidstone1902]

An honest review, Elgoo should be happy, seriously. There's some great feedback there for the next iteration. Knight looks great too, I can't believe that happened at the end.

[@battlebrothersam]

Thanks brother you legend

[@DrVesuvius70]

I'm a big fan of this creator. He has a whole range of knight-sized titans, many of them inspired by mecha from other IPs such as Robotech/Macross or Gundam, but heavily reimagined to make them fit perfectly alongside other gridark mecha. Unfortunately his Patron is currently on hiatus, but hopefully one day he'll return to doing mechs again.

[@johnbearross]

Very kind words. Thanks! First draft is almost done on the novel. Once that is in the can, I will start pushing around electrons again! Best, JBR

[@leonandrews2668]

I can't believe that happened at the end! Squidmar will either be flattered or repulsed over what you did to that body pillow with his image on!

[@supergiantbubbles]

You're the first reviewer I've seen showing that you can have more than four test models on the build plate. That make the feature even better. I expect you (or someone else) could design a better build plate that is more standard. I've got a Saturn 4 Ultra myself and may take on that challenge. I'll try printing it with carbon fiber reinforced PET and if that's not strong enough I'll have some parts fabricated by PCB Way.

[@battlebrothersam]

In all honesty it was a complete fluke that I found that feature lol I was thinking of taking the gktwo plate and seeing if it fit on it as a test

[@catzilla9330]

I love print and paint videos like this, also a good way to find cool models 😉

[@battlebrothersam]

Thanks brother!

[@panoramer-rr2mu]

The first person to address this plate issue. Thanks for that. First time I saw this printer I thought, oh my god, what pain in the a.. it will be to clean this plate. Yet no reviewer mentioned it. Everyone will waste a roll of tissue paper just to clean the gap. Maybe they can make it optional for people who want autoleveling.

[@battlebrothersam]

My thoughts exactly when I first seen it and using it confirmed my thoughts, for some it won't be an issue and the fast prints and quality will outweigh the negative but in my small shed it was too much for me

[@Jokreher]

Banging tunes, candid opinions and experiences, and solid views! Nicely done.

[@battlebrothersam]

Thanks for a great and honest review. Fun video.🎉

[@Chrixelpixel]

A few tips to help you out- 1- Boil some water, dip your parts with the supports attached briefly into the water, the supports will fall off easy and leave far less supports marks. 2- Buy Super Glue kicker, instantly activates the glue, and no mess like baking soda.

[@cirno9349]

3d printed mechs knees are normally much weaker then glue, being able to fuse the parts together is much better. I have never had a problem with John’s files they all work amazing for me and my stock mono 2 settings. I’m pretty happy that the only issue with his files is something most files do. I really recommend supporting him even if it’s just downloading his free files, he certainly deserves it and is one my inspirations for getting into sculpting and printing models.

[@battlebrothersam]

100% he should be supported he does excellent work

[@jamesdunn581]

Watching this while changing a FEP. :D Awesome work and very inspiring. I've got an Anycubic X2. Waiting for the next big leap to jump on a new printer. The X2 is going pretty wel...... let me get back to you after changing the FEP... haha Thanks for the vid!

[@battlebrothersam]

Ah the one job we all hate the most. God speed brother may your fep be forever clean

[@dannywood3015]

They have a heater being released at the same time as I’ve got one on pre order

[@battlebrothersam]

That was unknown info to me at the time!

Hmmm already have an Elegoo saturn 8k and been thinking of buying a new printer for bigger projects. This seems to be the one i want.

[@battlebrothersam]

It's fast and great quality prints so you wont be disappointed by that part of it!

[@mfreed40k]

For those of us that don't live in frozen hell-scapes the lack of a heater isn't a thing. Also I've gotten very little resin between the plate and base. It will alert you if you don't have enough resin so maybe don't overfill the tank? Just my thoughts. That knight looks amazing!

[@battlebrothersam]

Thanks brother! That must be nice not to deal with the cold lol

[@bearnecessities9568]

Always enjoy a Knight video. Always perma jelly of you 3D printer owners XD

[@battlebrothersam]

There's just something so cool about knights

[@nbrikha]

The Saturn 4 ultra actually does EIGHT calibrations tests at once. You have to click the tab but there is an option for 8 settings at once

[@robclarke1098]

You need to buy a spray can of superglue activator. I use it for every model. It speeds up the process and makes the bond even stronger.

[@battlebrothersam]

I think I will because the baking powder leaves unwanted texture on models like this! Its fine for my nurgle models but not so much for these

[@olive3365]

Mannn now I have no excuse but to paint my own Lancer proxy, and now I have to do it quickly 😂

yes, fermentation belt to keep resin warm! been using one for over a year and made me able to print over the new england winter

[@battlebrothersam]

Mine came in clutch during the winter! You probably get slightly colder temps than us to be honest!

[@SamuraiMujuru]

I mean, painting would be the difficult part of the equation. Printing a knight on a Saturn 4 Ultra? Handful of hours, no problem

[@akuyara4420]

Crazy Twist at the end, love it

[@SeanSpeer]

Get a flex plate and your messy problems are solved. You can just remove the flex plate from the original when the print is done. You never need to take off the original plate.

[@dmilnes7007]

I was looking at this printer but in the end went with the M7 for all the reasons you pointed out. M7 is so fast it blew my mind. defiantly made the right choice.

[@c.m.a.444]

I’ve watched all your videos and there is no way that happened at the end! Ninjon and Squidmar cameo to let you body paint them as a Warhammer model is just obscene.

[@ashouaxiong1404]

Do you think the seperate heater will still reasonably work if the lid / hinge is taken off?

[@dfranks04]

Would love to know how to make that black and brown oil wash

[@compositemist7]

How has your heating band held up? I am trying out a heat pad meant for reptile enclosures. It will be a funny setup but I'm interested to see if yours holds up with the weird tilts.

[@battlebrothersam]

It held up fine to be honest! The shape of the vat meant I couldn't have it entirely flush but it stayed on no problem

[@markel661]

Do you know if it it's a decent idea to have the saturn 4 ultra on my bedroom if I use a fume extractor like yours + I have the printer inside a still air glove box?. I would like the toxicity to be close to 0% as I would be spending a lot of time in the bedroom My idea is to have everything on the Glove Box (Printer + cure/wash station + Tools)

[@runklestiltskin_2407]

Hey sam love your videos i just wanted to ask is there a place here in NI where i can dispose of my used methylated spirit? I called my local council and havent gotten a word back from them.

[@battlebrothersam]

Thanks mate! Shoot down to your local dump and see if there's a bit for hazardous waste (I don't think that's what it's called exactly but I can't remember right now) if not it'll be easier to ask the boys there where you can dispose of it

[@battlebrothersam]

Also once I'm done with mine I pour it back into the empty bottles that I keep and leave it outside in the sun to evaporate and cure, in winter I let it evaporate and then cure the remnants in the bottle in the curing station

[@buzzardb]

Im hoping with the Mercury XS station ill be able to just wash the whole print AND build plate at the same time

[@battlebrothersam]

I'm not sure on the size of that one but hopefully you can!

[@battlebrothersam]

It's fast and great quality prints brother so you wont be disappointed! just didn't suit my unique situation

[@herculeholmes504]

Well that was strange. I have never seen a printer with a vat that moves instead of the build plate. It probably does have some advantages over the normal design although I don't know what those advantages are. Maybe that's how it can print so fast?

[@mitcho590]

I just brought a saturn 4 ultra and so far the experience has been terrible and i haven't even received it yet. Seems like this weird build plate has everyone annoyed... like does it really need to be that bulky...im 6'6 with huge hands and im worried hiw im going to clean between it.

[@Bobby11]

The plate looks annoying to clean. Print faster, spend more time cleaning up 🤔

The build plate design sucks (although the release is nice), the AI camera is pointless as you can only see one side of your print, I could care less about a heater but I know that matters to a lot of people.…I’ll take the Saturn Ultra 3 over the 4 any day.

[@Dussellus]

You can literally buy a heater as an addon to the printer. So those who dont need it save money. Build plate is messy, but with a flex plate or just some discipline in your cleaning process, it's easy to avoid. Rubbish critique points.

Drops to many features for me really sad

[@demingzhang7204]

I think your wrong about including the heater. Not everyone needs it. Brings down the cost for consumers. Also the heater they are selling blows the heat in the wrong direction.
