How did you do the resin calibration? I did it with their test file but can't find the how to in the manual.

[@UncleJessy]

@@photoshopguy44 you have to set it up in the slicer with any file you want to use. Create 4, 6, or 8 copies, export that file. Upload to the printer under the exposure settings area. Then set your times

I would hold off on the purchase. I unboxed my brand new Mars 5 ultra, calibrated, updated firmware, and started a real print job. It stops at mid prints. Screen frozen and all. EDIT: Okay, I flipped the switch off and on and it actually resumed. No lines on the prints and it's clear resin too. Very impressed!

[@pipdesignshop]

I have an FDM printer for work and would probably use a resin printer for fun, so it’s nice to see the progress and increased ease of use. 👍

[@arbitScaleModels]

to protect your resin tray, you really got to get a silicon scraper instead of that yellow plasic scraper

[@Brettoh]

If it’s got a clean edge, both will do/wont do the same damage. Accept the sheet is a consumable and do what works best.

[@obscenity]

I printed my own scraper

[@Bpboshoff]

They should stop including those scrapers in the box.

[@Vertrucio]

If you're careful, and don't want to bother with the bib, you can hold a tray between the print and base when removing stuff. I use a quarter aluminum baking sheet.

[@LeonardGreenpaw]

Hey uncle Jesse. If you use a program like uv tools that can modify individual layers, by making the first few layers have a high wait before print time, more of the resin can be pushed out from under the build plate and that allows you to have a much better adhesion with a much lower burn in time. I use black abs like, and the burn in time is 2.5 seconds, there is no elephant foot and things are sticking so good

[@TsuyoShirts]

As someone searching for a beginner 3D Printer, I'm happy to see you were able to make larger figures using the Mars 5 Ultra. I want to make figures akin to Nendoroids which measure 4 inches tall.

[@dwilliams660]

I moved away from elegoo printers, I have the new Jupiter se, and had nothing but issues from day one, bought a uniformation and no issues from the start and the heated vat is a plus, maybe if they do a new Jupiter I may get that

Do you just dip it in the ipa for a second and dry it with towel ? .I would love to see how you do it. Thanks really you are great

[@msamyweber]

Jessy, the only issue I personally have with your content is, you are all about pushing speed, speed, speed. Bigger nozzles, larger layers. That might be good and fine for I dont know how many. For me, I stay with 0.03 layers and .04 nozzles. I got into 3D printing for the details and quality. Not just pumping out items. For you, ok, I can understand it is about getting content and videos made. But to forcefeed it speed, speed, speed and bigger nozzles onto everyone... I just dont agree. Again, personal opinion. I do find quality information about machines in your videos, but you lose me when you get kicking about speed and faster everything.

[@OsoDeAnteojos]

Wow, you make resin 3D printing look so effortless! I haven’t checked if you have any videos with tips for easier printing, but my last attempt ended in a bit of a mess, and now my 3D printer is collecting dust on a shelf. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[@tonydaughtry9194]

Do you have any sort of set up to deal with/vent the fumes your resin printers put out? The fumes are the main thing stopping me from making the jump from FDM to resin.

[@JoonKimDMD]

There are many people who died or hospitalized due to resin toxin fumes.

[@antoniomromo]

Love the video as usual good sir. Only gripe is the use of "auto leveling" when it should be "autozeroing". Chinese companies often have issues with the translation and marketing of technical details like this. So it's up to us native English folk to correct the information.

[@fukyu2123]

Nice showcase of the features. What would you reccomend? Buying this Mars-5 Ultra or the slightly older and bigger Saturn-3 Ultra? Granted both cost the same

[@UncleJessy]

@@fukyu2123 mars 5 ultra. It’s so stupidly easy to print with. A really big improvement from other resin printers. If you need big, then the Saturn 3 ultra is still a great machine. But id pick the mars 5 ultra

[@PerryWheeler-x7i]

My S4 Ultra went back after a day. Error message after error message. Automatic bed leveling failed, then a message saying 'No resin detected' even though the vat was full of resin. I then Googled my issues and couldnt believe the amount of people experiencing the same errors. Just ordered another Saturn 3 Ultra, now that is a good machine!

[@kamui004]

Probably they're limiting the speed of the tilting vat to accommodate all types of resin so they don't splash, like for example I imagine with faster speeds and very thin resins.

[@souledgar]

This. They don't want to be liable for any idiot user setting their thing up too fast and getting it all over themselves.

[@UncleJessy]

ohh yeah that's very true

[@boanoah6362]

One thing to note is that the Mars 5 has true 8K and can print at 18um so it's about as perfect for minis as you can get.

[@Lockhaim_]

This mug hit be a stupid question- but as someone who’s looking to buy their first 3D Printer and deciding between the Mars 5 Ultra or Saturn 4 Ultra- what happens if I have a model that’s only one file but it’s too big for my build plate? Am I able to cut up the model into separate pieces and then have my printer build like interlocking pieces into it or is that more advanced? I am wanting to get the Saturn but realistically without having ever tried 3d printing I was thinking the mars may be better especially since I’m looking for more like anime figure type models to paint- but if I wanted to do a larger model could I still do it even if it would take longer obviously by doing it in pieces?

[@Tryant69]

It's not really auto bed leveling though.. It uses springs under the build plate to basically always make it level when compressed but this does fuck up prints directly printed on the build surface because of too much pressure!

[@benjamin93436]

Uncle Jessy. I currently have a Elegoo Saturn S, and looking at ordering the Elegoo Saturn 4. Would it be wise to wait and buy this one instead? My goal is to utilize a machine for miniatures and hopefully speed. I wanted to see what your suggestion would be for me.

[@nicolaibrushansen205]

What do you think of the Mars 5 vs. the Mars Ultra 5? If I want a printer for miniatures. Do you think the Mars 5 is enough. Or does the Ultra have better features that is worth paying extra for. I'm not going to print a lot. But Im willing to pay the extra if it is worth it :)

[@davidguzman9479]

I'm about to begin in the 3d printing area, I want to print dungeons and dragons minis, and Warhammer miniatures too, but I was wondering, is this printer any good for that? Also, I want to use some tough resin, I want it to be flexible so it can be resistant. Please help me :(

[@joerie.houthuijsen]

Hi Jessy, from who is that little baby Dino 🦖?😍

[@PlasticGeek]

[@luckimv]

As always, nice informative overview of this new printer. I went ahead, ordered one and it arrived yesterday. Can anyone comment on the temp sensor and where it is measuring? The output for mine is showing upwards of 43C during printing. I didn't think that could be correct but then I felt the sides of the printer and they are warmer than I expected. I'm coming from a Saturn, so I don't know if this is normal given the smaller footprint.

I'm not worried about spills as much as moving parts. As in mechanical failure and/or maintenance.

[@NOxHYPE]

What sort of ventilation do you recommend for something like this?

[@marchingknight11]

When you say there's no way to unlock faster speeds, do you actually mean it's just simply impossible to configure faster feedrates by manually creating a profile in the slicer? Are feedrates hard coded into the printer somehow?

[@kamui004]

For the S4U and M5U, there's no lift/retract speed/height configurations in the slicer like old printers, that config space in the slicers is completely absent for these printers. The peeling is done by the tilting vat and its speed is hardcoded in the firmware with a "Slow" and a "Fast" speed, while the z-axis just barely moves up whatever layer height it is. In the other printers most print time was taken by the 5-10mm up-down movement of z-axis, while these ones is taken by the vat tilting down and up, but the tilt speed is hardcoded. I imagine they could be changed if Elegoo gave away the gcode files for people to alter, like it used to for people to mod the z-axis motor speed limits on older printers for the so called 'vroom settings". But I think Elegoo already tested and limited the speed of the vat tilt to accommodate all kinds of resin without any of them splashing due to too much speed.

[@UncleJessy]

@@kamui004 Yeah, I believe its all "hardcoded" into the internal profiles of the printer for the Fast/Slow print speed settings

[@anthonylong5870]

Im getting really worried if i am going to ever be able to print. I have the Mars 5 Ultra and only 1 time did it print right and that was the initial print of the rook. After that nothing prints, not even the rook again and i have changed nothing...not 1 setting. everything is failing and i only get a first layer of whatever model and its stuck to the fep. Thats its nothing else 9 attempts now. thinking maybe im not supposed to do resin printing

[@Old_Wizard_Minis]

quality difference between fast and slow?

[@UncleJessy]

Zero that I could tell from my test print. It might be more apparent with different resins though or more beneficial with certain resins to print slower over faster

The drip tray does not work, it spills straight into the printers mechanisms and you need to pull it apart to clean it from uncured resin. There should be like a rubber gasket or something there. Biggest flaw probably.
