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

Thanks brother! 😁

[@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.

[@MrPetersVideo]

Excellent advice/tip!!! Alwasy use HOT WATER for sure!!

[@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

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

[@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

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!

[@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

[@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

[@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)

[@c.m.a.444]

Hello mate, excellent print. Are you able to share with me your settings? I'm really struggling with printing anything big. Did you change any of the wait times? What was your exposure?

[@brianwgDK]

5:35 hello cool project, i am just starting out in Resin printing, but have fff printed for over 15 years. and i see you use Gorilla glue, i would not bother it is so over priced, it is only Cyanoacrylate glue, nothing fancy about it. But anyways CA glue can be set almost instantly with a activator, any activator will do (for ca glue) it actually hardens in contact with moisture, so heavy breathing on it can help if you don´t have a hand free ;-) (i am not joking)

[@buzzardb]

[@MrPetersVideo]

I have owned a S4U for a few months now. I HALF agree about the clunky build plate unit, BUT once you set up an intelligent/optimal workflow with it you do not even notice or care about its more complex shapes than a typical build plate! I clean mine in equal time, and just a fraction less ease, than other 'normal build plate' printers I have. Firstly, DO NOT use the supplied bib - it is a waste of time and ADDS more cleaning/wasted time! Use a large baking tray to feed under the build plate, over the vat, to remove it all. You are going to use that tray for removal, of parts from the build plate and cleaning them etc anyway, so cleaning that tray was always going to be done anyway. No bib to clean 'extra', as well then.... Cleaning the top of the build plate, with a brush, over a tub of IPA or Metho, is no different than cleaning the top of any other build plate really.... thus the grand total effort is near dead equal to ANY other build plate! On another note - a Wash Station method of cleaning is a complete waste of time, and a poor result also!! Just use a 'large' tub, say 15litre, just half full, of IPA or metho, and either hand 'swish' parts, and/or brush them. It can all be done in a FRACTION of the time you run a wash station. Also, a wash station stirs up all the bottom dwelling gunge into a cesspool of crud to wash your items! It is exactly like you were going to take a bath yourself but did a crap in it FIRST...... lol. A tub and hand washing does NOT do that - it does not stir up prior bottom dwelling crud - thus the items come out cleaner just from that single wash process. No need for a second 'rinse' step either (but it can't hurt if you want to be "perfect"). All in all a wash station is a waste of MONEY - a notable amount of money. For pretty well ZERO gain, plus some added negatives! But your drying/curing station is a BIG POSITIVE to have and use. Though you can do it via a much cheaper set up (home made). One issue with both wash stations (even though they are useless!) and curing stations is the SIZE. You can make a home made HUGE station for a fraction of the cost of a bought one! And thus fit ALL items in, for drying and curing. As for a heater - well I have no need for one where I print. BUT I do have 'mini heaters' in most of the printers here. You can buy 'no name' mini heaters from AliExpress for about usd$25 and they work PERFECTLY FINE - as good as any manufacturers in built, or supplied heater. Mine take about 8 mins to get the enclosure to 30degC (from about an 18degC room temp). They are quite powerful and easily bring the temp up FAST. And you only need about 20degC or so for prints to be perfectly fine anyway, thus why I rarely even turn the heaters on anyway! I THOUGHT maybe running 30degC as a standard would be a good idea and outcome, but it was a zero benefit end result as it turns out - thus a 'waste' of that 8 minutes heating time anyway! Mind you I would start the heaters ahead of time anyway (but not setup to be on at all times the printer is powered on!), thus it was really a zero time waste for when I go to print. It was more a waste of ENERGY having them on, for the zero benefit in my typical room temperature case. (I have seen the Anycubic Mini Heater on sales for as low as usd$15 too!! That is a very good little heater also.) I get to use and see almost all printers (well a lot anyway) and NO OTHER comes close the the Saturn 4 Ultra as of the current models!! It is SUPER FAST, with no downsides to that. Basically just over twice the speed of all other 'fast' printers! It is a game changer - the next generation in the evolution of resin printing!!! I HIGHLY recommend it as the best resin printer to buy in 2024 (so far still) !!!! It also has ZERO issues or negatives!

[@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?

[@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

[@herculeholmes504]

1:25 Whu.. waht? What the hell? The VAT moves up and down? What the heck am I looking at here?

The Vat tilts to more easily release the print off the FEP film. Easier to peel something from the side than to pull straight up.

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.
