I'd love to see a timelapse of the 4 generations of saturn printing side by side the same print to see how much improvement there's been. I've had nothing but issues with my Saturn 2 and really leaning towards upgrading.

[@hofx666]

I love the Saturn 3 and don’t see how this new one can top that. Especially with the Saturn 3 and rapid resin. 8 hour prints have been done in 1.25 hours with zero defects.

[@leelatt]

@@hofx666 If I could afford to upgrade I would, I've had nothing but problems with my Saturn 2.

[@erickraus1256]

@@leelatt What problems are you having? Mine have been printing great. I use my Elegoo Saturn 2s much more than I use my Phrozen Mighty 8K.

[@leelatt]

@@erickraus1256 Constant failed prints, either stuck to FEP or 1/2 through printing they are missing portions. Had several that warped and a few that split open/have gaps in layers. Had one where it decided halfway through a print to start the print over. I'm using the Loot Studios minis.

[@trzarector]

Buying 3D printers is addictive. Price is crazy on this. I already have Saturn 3 ultra and Jupiter SE but really need more build volume so I’m looking at that Mega 8K S.

[@AA-xm7rt]

I bought my first printer 2 weeks ago and I'm mentally filling my house with printers already xD

[@trzarector]

@@AA-xm7rt I was the same. Bought the Saturn 3 Ultra just before Xmas and by February I also had the Jupiter SE! Now looking at the Mega 8K S!

[@AA-xm7rt]

@@trzarector very cool! I have a Bambu printer so not a resin printer but I would also like a resin printer because I want to create a board game and make the most important stuff like the characters and structures on the map out of resin because of the high detail.

[@trzarector]

@@AA-xm7rt I can highly recommend jumping in! I love my resin printing even with all the other inconveniences that go with it. The output quality can't be beaten though and more than makes up for any shortcomings.

[@erickraus1256]

The Mega 8K is nice (it is HUGE) but I've had more problems and failed prints with that than all my other printers, probably combined. Also, the "swiss cheese" build plate is a PITA to remove rafts/feet from because the cured filament gets into the holes. I have no idea why Phrozen did this and continues to do it on the 8K S and the 8K V2.

[@abovewongart]

wow! the printer looks so sleek and bootiful

[@brendanarmstrong7802]

5:25 - Wasn't the original Saturn more like $700? And people during the leadup to the preorders were laughing at me for hoping it'd come in under $1000, back BEFORE it was announced that it'd be coming with a mono screen. We've come a long way in the last 4 years.

[@andrewmcmillan229]

I have an original Saturn and paid $500

[@B143DP]

You may be thinking of the Jupiter having the 700$ pre-order/kickstarter price. The Saturn was around 500-600$ when it released originally.

[@heymannhowru]

Yeah I paid 500 for my Saturn S... I am not complaining at all about these new prices as I just preordered the pro and selling my saturn s for 200

[@B143DP]

@@heymannhowru Yeah I ended up getting 3x 4 Ultras to add to my print farm, not complaining either as my printers have well since paid themselves over multiple times XD

[@brendanarmstrong7802]

@@B143DP Yeah, I bought mine through the kickstarter, so that's what I've always thought of as the original price.

[@3DWithUs]

Can we somehow print the anti-dripping tray that is included with the Saturn 4 Ultra? Is there a file available? I am sure any large FDM printer could handle the task.

[@jasoncombs3232]

I want a tray that doesn't say Elegoo across it and is easier to clean.

[@HoaPham-zs1mh]

Dude it was only a year or so ago I got a Saturn 2 for 500, printer tech is moving so fast!

[@bacawaka2813]

I got my Saturn 4 Ultra Yesterday! I must be an early preorder hence why I got it so soon. Already started using it. Much more convenient. Kind if with I could have got 2.

[@erickraus1256]

They ship out pretty quick. I ordered mine yesterday and it will arrive in two days from now. Unfortunately, I got the 4, mainly because of the green lid, but also forgetting about everything else that comes with the Ultra. Now I'm contemplating buying the 4 Ultra and sending the 4 back..

[@chrishummel]

"Wish it had a handle" Says the guy with like 50 machines that can make a handle XD

[@ippaku]

Honestly, honestly, the only thing that stopped me from getting the ultra for is the Saturn 2 8k is still an amazing printer that works. If they came out with a version that had the moving that for the Jupiter series with larger build volumes, I could see upgrading, but I’d also need a larger wash basin type problems. Wishing everyone a happy weekend. Thank you Mr. magneto for the video, be well be you

[@krillin6]

The Saturn 3 Ultra is much better than the 2, but you can skip the Saturn 4 Ultra, I have mine and it's underwhelming. This "reviewer" sugar coats these reviews to the point I'm diabetic now.

[@erickraus1256]

@@krillin6 Can you elaborate on how/why it is underwhelming?

[@ArtByAndy-z2m]

I just took your advice from an earlier video you did where you put 3M handles on your Saturn 8K and Curing station lids. I put one in the lower right of my Saturn 4 Ultra. Black on Black does not detract from the look of the printer, and it works great.

[@ryankyle2467]

I know this is probably just me….. but 1 things I would have loved for you to have done is, tried to make (let’s just say) a piece of terrain in 1 piece as big as you could and then had that again a model or miniature from a mini game where if people play that game they could visibly confirm the size!?! Like maybe SW Legion or WH 40K!?! Mainly because both of those printers look huge! But the biggest model you made, I could have made the same thing in 2 pieces off of my printer! And I don’t think mine is even half the size of both of those!!!

[@UncleJessy]

Oh love that idea and will try to do that soon

[@my63stingray]

I am printing on mine right now! Forst time resin 3d printer here and i was blown away how easy it was to get to print. Still, like the fdm print is done, it's done, but i am looking forward to seeing what this machine can really do!

[@lunacrescentnightshado]

What file do you need to print with?

[@KruellNationGaming]

I have the ultra but I like the coloring of the regular more.

[@bebo6750]

I was in love when I first saw the Saturn 4 Ultra for the camera and the ia, but I ended preordering the Mono M7 Pro!

[@Valandor_Celestial_Warlock]

About that handle... don't you have a 3D printer you could maybe print a handle with? 😆

[@Foxtrot_Woof]

I have the OG Elegoo Mars with the RGB screen. It might be time to upgrade.

[@EyeXombie]

How do they miss something like a handle? Did no one use the thing while testing it? lol.. Ordered an Ultra! Hope it ships soon!!

[@UncleJessy]

I mean it is easy to lift the lid but at the same time... still needs a handle ;)

[@erikm9768]

Maybe aesthetics would suffer?

[@atlas6538]

3d print yourself a handle and glue it on the side

[@bryanfoster362]

I noticed the green one tilted back on you when you tried to lift the lid. That could have been messy had there been a full vat of resin in it. That to me is an excellent reason for a handle.

[@atlas6538]

Wow, as a Saturn S user, this seems like such a massive upgrade

[@TheRelentlessAssault]

As a mars 3 pro user this is a colossal upgrade lol

[@GeekDetour]

Hi @UncleJessy - I totally agree with you: the DripBib should be included in both printers - oh, Gee, and definitely the exposure test functionality should be there too... I hope they implement that also on the Saturn 4! The Ultra is my recommendation - I think the extra 100 bucks are totally worth it. About the handle: there are a few available for you to choose from. My first design you need to drill two M3 holes - but I also included an "adhesive" version that is my recommendation for anyone that could be undecided about a permanent mod. There are handles from other KZbinrs too.

[@IgnusFast]

Honestly, I'd just stick a command hook on there and call it done. :)

[@GeekDetour]

@@IgnusFast Ha ha! Oh man… but where is the pleasure of over engineering something yourself? 🤣

[@rungunninja1289]

Printer works great but the auto sensors outside of leveling cause several problems with it not even wanting to print. If I was Elegoo I make a by pass option on something like the maximum resin detection immediately

[@Goosefang]

Not into resin printers yet, but I’d want the ultra with the green lid. Looks so much cooler

[@VampireOnline]

Those are also the pre-order prices. You may have said it and I missed it, but it does look like they have the full prices listed now. Still awesome deals! I'm going to have to get my 1st resin printer as I don't want to pass up $125 discount!

[@krillin6]

He uses kids gloves with reviews. I'm not surprised. He knows who butters his bread.

[@farplaine]

The ultra is a no brainer vs the regular Saturn 4. I mean if money is tight then sure the standard model is still ridiculously good, but that tilting vat is worth the price of admission alone for the ultra

[@leckerhamster9047]

Your printer got a crack in the front of the cover exactly on the same position i saw a few other ones...seems to be a weak spot in the production.

[@daskrispysquivvel3120]

I found the order for my original Anycubic Photon I bought in 2017. With delivery it was only $20AUD (yes twenty dollars ...) cheaper that what I just paid for the Saturn 4 Ultra + delivery! ($627 Oz dollars for the Photon - $647 for the Saturn 4 Ultra...)

[@UriskOfTheFae]

It really sucks they didn't put the exposure finder tool on both printers. A real shame

[@OnceinaSixSide]

I'm actually devastated to find out that exposure tool hasn't been implemented here 💀

[@ZeroAnkoku]

Ngl I was getting ready in my bathroom and had this playing in my living room and though Uncle Jessy said "This awesome knight with a gigantic ass" lmao had to run back in to check.

[@RollerCoasterLineProductions]

I’ve never heard of a resin printer before, had to look it up. Looks cool. I’m new to 3D printing, bought myself an X1C w AMS and haven’t looked back, sure is addictive

[@jacobside2656]

And here I am with an original Saturn that I bought for $200, 2 years ago, still sitting in the box.

[@MonkeyButlerLabs]

Twinsies. Can't get myself to set up the infrastructure for resin. 2 printers and a wash/cure station. NIB.

[@RangerChris61]

Is amazing how much the price has come down on these printers. While I don't have any plans to get a 4/4 ultra, as I am not a fan of some of the changes that they made, I am looking forward to what they do with the Saturn V. Also if they don't do a tribute version or the ultra version in classic NASA paint scheme I will be very disappointed.

[@jamesbullo]

Saturn 4Ultra looks like my next 3D printer!

[@satgod]

A heater and auto fill would make it about perfect

[@Lilrockerdude13]

First I'd like to thank my wife for letting me take up space all over the house. Surprise surprise, I'm bringing another printer home 😅 even if she don't know yet. Second I'm sold on upgrading from my Mars 2 Pro! Ordering during my lunch

[@HouseProjections]

Received my 4 Ultra yesterday and I love this thing. HOWEVER, I am having issues with half the build plate not adhering to anything. Running a 6 zone calibration only yields 4 models with 2 stuck to the film. Over and over again. I changed models, slicers, resin, film twice, cleaned the build plate every time, etc. I now see a few other posts on reddit mentioning the same issue. Have you experienced anything similar? I'm sure it's going to be a quick fix and it hasn't changed my opinion in the SLIGHTEST. My biggest problem? My first few successful resin calibration prints were so damn good it was difficult to choose the best exposure time!

[@7kortos7]

this just sold me even more on the Ultra lol

[@Cyrilcynder1]

I got the original saturn like RIGHT as it came out, it was indeed $500. I gought another about a year and half later, it was down to $250.

[@enricobononi8655]

the new bed design is a giant PIA to clean and the absence of an integrated heater are a no go for me....waiting the Saturn 5 maybe they manage to put all the essential in a printer

[@nikolasvasiliou280]

I wanted to see the difference of microscopic detail !!

[@thrrax]

0:35 That was almost a resin spilling accident.

I think it is time we go twice vat the size... with double interlocking plates, built-in heaters, fans and an automatic refill (outside) system. And wing folding doors. for 800

[@UncleJessy]

The heck are double interlocking plates? Why not 1 big one? Really like all of these suggestions

[@OperationBaboon]

@@UncleJessy easier to move, store, clean etc. just an idea i head in my head

[@korixgaming5805]

even at $400 Canadian its an amazing deal

[@bountyhuntersgamingBHxG]

Good review!!! Thank you!!! 💯

[@blizatrex]

The new hotness looks awesome. I noticed that the links for printers link to more expensive listings than what is actual. as one example your link has the pro 4 for 279 vs what the regular link is now of 239.

[@DonsArtnGames]

10:20 A handle on the cover 🤣... OH! What about a way to let completed prints drip drain unused resin directly back into the vat while another print is running!

[@StyphalGaming]

I received my Saturn 4 Ultra yesterday. Two out of two failed prints.

[@bebo6750]

Why?

[@StyphalGaming]

@@bebo6750 Build plate adhesion issues. First print a very audible popping was heard after every layer. It was the FEP sheet ripping away from the print.

[@bacawaka2813]

I got the saturn 4 yesterday as well. I had the opposite problem. I had a print really stuck to the bed. I reduced the 30 second bottom layer exposure about 10 seconds. Checked on a 1/6 scale print this morning and it seems to be holding just fine.

[@StyphalGaming]

@@bacawaka2813 Had some time over the weekend to try a few things. I switched to Elegoo ABS-like 3.0 which tolerates lower ambient temperatures and my adhesion issues have been apparently resolved. I suppose I'll wait until Elegoo ships the heater pre-orders to use my other resins.

[@israelmartinez4097]

I’m still waiting for my Saturn 4 ultra got a spot right next to my 3 ultra.

[@GameUpOG]

Got a question, I pre order the saturan 4 ultra but I'm not sure if the flex plate will work. The one I see from wham bam doesn't match the build volume on elgoo's site and I saw someone on a thread had trouble with flex plates in general for the 4 ultra. Do you know if there is a flex plate that will work on the saturan 4 ultra? I haven't used them before but would like to because I've never bought such an expensive printer before

[@getbent57]

They are set a super good price point.

[@thediscoman2001]

i carnt eve get it to print anything apart from the test print, mine keeps coming up with resin exceedes etc and its well below the rein line mine is the 4 not the ultra

[@privatename7797]

Uncle Jessy, can you solve a lot of reddit disagreements here and say if there is, or is not auto leveling? A lot of people online are saying it's only level assist, and not fully auto level. But Elegoo claims it's fully auto leveling. Thanks!

[@exnuke7826]

Hey not sure if you do already have a video on the subject or know of any but could you do a video on ventilation for Resin printers? I’m picking up one of these but iv always been curious on the subject and you always seem pretty knowledgeable.

[@steamtraintom]

Surprised it is still using PFA instead of ACF to get the faster speeds! And we are still missing all the features that were promised for the original Jupiter during the Kickstarter campaign and the wash and cure to take Jupiter sized prints as they kept promising!

[@UncleJessy]

I would seriously love a bigger wash and cure from elegoo. I think they ditched acf after all of the backlash last year. I believe fauxhammer has a videos doing print compares

[@teyrasiridae4704]

Not still. Again. They deliberately moved away from ACF for the Saturn 4 series.

[@steamtraintom]

Ahhh I didn't get to join the Saturn 3 crew :( I didn't realise they'd used ACF and come back away from it! This 4 Ultra is so tempting but I don't need another printer! 🙈 Nor have the space for

can you buy the cam and just add it on to the 4 ?

[@_droid]

It's *really* bizarre when "makers" complain about a missing tray or lack of handles. I mean, come on.

[@krillin6]

The Saturn 4 ultra isn't crazy fast. My Saturn 3 ultra prints SIGNIFICANTLY faster if you know what you're doing. These might as well be paid advertisements, since I have my S4U and he skipped over many downsides, especially in the Chitubox slicer that supports this printer (which is still in Beta...)

[@nobocks]

Can you try to print model at ho scale or even n scale please ?

[@TheRelentlessAssault]

Hello! I've got a question, and it isn't related to the video. It does require some explanation. I happen to be a bit of a battery enthusiast, but glass jars and crude mockups, although fun, are not very practical. So I have been researching 3d printers and filaments. I doing so, I've found some filaments like pvdf and pps that I would love to use, however... the temp range seems just out of reach for consumer machines and is totally overkill for pro machines. (That I and most cant afford) I find myself in a valley and don't know where to look. Any ideas? I consider an older pro machine, but even then, the price and learning curve are steep as they lack the simplicity of use newer machines have. I understand this is isn't a simple question and a lot of variables apply. Any kind of Insight would be most appreciated!
