Effortless Resin Calibration for Flawless Prints on the Saturn 4 Ultra

[@HectorRivera-ze5mx]

thanks, calibrated my FlashForge resin and I am printing like a champ on my Saturn 4 Ultra.

Let's go!!! That is for watching!!

[@hasssalti3388]

Thanks!

[@ThatDudes3DPrints]

Any time! Thank you so much for that!!

[@MrArknova]

got mine yesterday and still trying to dial it in using sunlu abs like, the divider is a boon thanks for the video

Thank you for watching!!

[@lippfamily2143]

Do you have the final settings for that Anycubic ABS Pro 2 resin? That's what I'm using!

[@invisibleazn9330]

what do you do if you don't have a good print with the calibration piece? Add exposure, reduce exposure? I have issues with prints on the left side of the bed sticking to the supports.

[@ThatDudes3DPrints]

In your case it could be that the bed is not level or an issue with the "autobedlevel" not really that. But I would suggest contacting Elegoo and they can provide you with a g-code file to run and help with the leveling the bed.

Thank you 😊

hello i have the same printer and use the same resin you use. what settings are you using?. i have 2.5 exposure and parts do not fit. i allays havo to use dremel

[@JamesHouston]

When importing the calibration cones, Chitubox complains of a damaged file and asks if I'd like to repair it or not. Not sure what option's the best, as I'd imagine choosing the wrong one may lead to incorrect calibration. All the best. xoxo

[@ThatDudes3DPrints]

I have always opted to not repair it but I am not sure if doing the repair would change anything.

[@MrAndyNich]

I need to call their number or something. Whenever my build plate reaches the vat it just powers off everytime. Have never printed anything on it.

[@ThatDudes3DPrints]

Yes definitely give them a call that is not normal!

[@MrAndyNich]

@ThatDudes3DPrints i can't find a number anywhere. They haven't emailed me back from there site either.

[@austinpalmer898]

Have you used sunlu water washable abs like resin in the Saturn 4 ultra

[@ThatDudes3DPrints]

I have yeah its nice my only issue with water washable is the water after you have cleaned hard to get rid of Alcohol is a bit easier in my opinion.

@@ThatDudes3DPrints what settings did you use for it in the Saturn 4 ultra

[@hasssalti3388]

my first print on that machine failed..and it took on standard speed more like 59 minutes, im looking for an altenative to my original nextdent 5100 3D printer which everything about it is expensive.. I would like to speed print ..i am lost.

[@ThatDudes3DPrints]

If you have the resin calibrated you can most likely switch to the fast option in the printer settings (Saturn 4 Ultra) and it will print faster and the resin will print well as long as it's calibrated beforehand

[@hasssalti3388]

@@ThatDudes3DPrints I changed the setting in the slicer settings for the Y layering from 0.05 to 0.2 and it failed, can you do segment on how to do that or send me instruction, please .. I am almost giving up and returning the machine. also the fist 3 prints I did on the standard speed came out precise fit... but I don't know what changed they are coming out very tight... I have to adjust a lot. thank you

[@ThatDudes3DPrints]

Yes I can do a segment on that but when I go to .1mm i increase my exposure time by 50% so if your going to .2mm i would say try doing that to start. May I ask why your going to a lower resolution on your prints?

[@wightdeathP]

so you stand by the any cubic resin?

[@ThatDudes3DPrints]

I like it but I don't necessarily stand by it resin is to each their own.

[@stephenmills5133]

Unboxed mine set it up but seems to me run a little hot the vat temp is 52c not sure if that's good or bad

[@ThatDudes3DPrints]

Yeah this seems to be a common thing with this printer. I haven't had any issues due to this but if any do happen I will be sure to keep you all posted!!

[@stephenmills5133]

@@ThatDudes3DPrints also seems to have a issue with the bottom layers sticking to the build plate super well and takes a lot effort to get off and it cracks , currently doing the cones calibration V3 with a bottom exposure of 10 seconds to see if this helps

[@alvodisco]

I just got mine and the FIRST FUCKING PRINT my cones of calibration gouged the shit out of my FEP sheet so now im annoyed and discouraged

[@ThatDudes3DPrints]

Hey man don’t give up! I know when stuff like this happens it’s supper aggravating and you want to throw the printer out the window! But I find it helpful to take a moment and chill then go back and try to see what could have been the issue sometimes having a clear head can point out something you missed.

[@MsSkinny87]

Sooo i just bought the saturn 4 ultra, and i cant for the life of me get a single print. Every resin calibration ive done turns out with dripping resin. It just dipped the plate in the resin. What am i doing wrong?

[@ThatDudes3DPrints]

It could be that your bottom exposure is too short try going up by 5 to 10 seconds.

[@ufukkarakoc6992]

Hello, I wrote to you on Instagram, you did not respond.

[@ThatDudes3DPrints]

Hey Ufuk I generally don't respond to DMs on Instagram.

[@ufukkarakoc6992]

I ordered elegoo saturn 4 ultra after seeing it from you. I have some questions in my mind, I sent a message to ask them. If you use another contact point, I can write from there as well.

[@ThatDudes3DPrints]

If you have 3D printer questions feel free to ask them here! 😁

@@ThatDudes3DPrints In which program do you model? There will be a figure on the keyboard key, I want to cover it with epoxy. kzbin.info16zYAkmltA8 Is it difficult to make this kind of print? Which resin do you recommend me to use?

[@ThatDudes3DPrints]

I usually use Plasticity to model. If you want to make keys but the put apoxy on them I would say maybe some just standard resin would be fine or some ABS like resin for stronger parts
