Better Printing Accuracy & Faster Printing Speed
Mars 3 3D Printer comes with a 6.6-inch 4K Monochrome LCD screen with a resolution of 4098*2560px. The printing speed is 1.5-3s per layer.It has a large build volume of 89.6mm*143.36mm*175mm. Compared with Mars 2, the printing accuracy has increased by 30%, and the printing volume has increased by 37%.
Upgraded COB UV Light Source
Mars 3 is equipped with a new free-form surface COB light source, and the light uniformity exceeds 90%. It is the first time to adopt a copper tube heat dissipation structure, and the heat dissipation efficiency is increased by 50%. The light decay is less than 5% after 6000 hours of continuous printing, which greatly extends the service life.

I'm thinking about buying a Mars 3 this summer. Do you have some recommendations for protection gear, especially a mask to use for resin printing at home?

​@@GeorgMierau best (in my opinion) would be an FFP3 Mask used for graffiti spraying and such

I just received my Mars 3, it's in the box on the floor next to me. Thank you so much for your video! I am not worried I will make any mistakes with setup because of it.

[@puppy_pause]

Got it running but waited a day to get a magnetic build plate. Glad I did it made removing the part super easy. Also the instructions mention moving the Z axis .01mm when leveling so that the paper you have underneath can be pulled out with a small amount of resistance. Helps with eliminating that elephant foot effect. My first prints were amazing using water washable resin from Nova3D. I also build a curing station out of an aluminum foil lined box with a solar turntable and UV lamp for $35 CDN. I had the washing/curing station in the cart but it was over my budget for now.

[@puppy_pause]

They put rubberized feet on it now it doesn't slid around at all. It still idles with the fan on though.

I'm going to skip out on the wash station because I plan on just using the water washable resin. Certainly cheaper to shake a bucket around myself. I was hoping to get away with a UV flashlight but I might have to break down and buy the curing chamber. Going to make my first print in a few days so hopefully all goes well!

just set mine up, and was slightly confused by the wording of the setup (hence being here) you're 4 months in, I decided on the water based resin, which resin are you using, and how is working for you?

[@monaclemonst3r]

@@zollodiecast I use the water washable resin. For the most part, printing has been fairly easy however you do want to make sure your resin is warm before printing. I keep my house at 68°and when it's too cold, the prints won't stick to the build plate. Also set your bottom exposure to a higher number. My bottom exposure is set to 90 secs...just a few tips I picked up over the last 4 months.

[@629Justme]

So for a bit more for a capable inkjet you can get a resin printer. I dont really feel that its overpriced. I feel that there is a lot of technology inside for an expected price. Question? How heat resistant are the models? I was wondering how well they hold up in a warm environment? A small widget for a car or other place where the temps might rise a bit. Droopy Snoopy if I resin printed is a different character.

Maybe one sheet of paper are OK but you forgot to set the new Z zero position ? (or is it only on the Mars 3 Pro) on the Pro you leave the page with the manual moving buttons and prress the button "new Z zero" or "new Z home" (can't remember ATM)

[@thebutcher1412]

So after removing the bed for the wash and cure station after each print, do you need to re-level every time ? Or once those two screws are set and locked down your good to go ?

[@mads9aar]

Once they are set you're all good. The spring doesnt move, and honestly, just scraping off the print and washing them straight in there works just as well.

[@DougGann]

@@mads9aar The hex nuts that hold the build plate in position are not that reliable. Even with extreme caution the orientation of the plate is easily thrown off when removing the print from the build plate. Elegoo is an order of magnitude better than Anycubic, but this build plate mount has a serious design flaw. So if you want continued successful prints, relevel.

Paper shouldn't be either completely stuck or completely loose. There should be some resistance when you pull. Same technique works with some self-leveling FDM printers.
