There is also a removable cover on the back of the case for you to connect an extraction fan and exhaust the fumes straight of the room entirely if you wish to.

The sandblasted surface build plate provides much stronger adherence, and PFA release liner with easier model removal and less release tension. The life span is 50% longer than the regular version of the release film, and the frequency of releases can be up to 9000 times, smooth surface, no wrinkles, scratches and bubbles, which can meet the multiple requirements of different models. Although it’s likely not any stronger than sunlight, it is best to avoid looking directly at a UV light source with your eyes if you can help it, and it is a good idea to avoid direct exposure to your skin as well. You can then re-tighten the two bolts with the included Allen key whilst using your other hand to hold the platform in position over the screen. I'm sure this is going to be another success for Elegoo and I feel that if you already have the original Saturn and are undecided about upgrading - I would say this is worthy.

You may want to leave any failed prints outside to dry in the sun and harden or you could place them in a cure chamber if you like. The air filtration system with an activated carbon filter can absorb most of the resin odor, creating an odor-free fresh printing environment. The Saturn line of 3D resin printers from Elegoo represent their line consumer focused larger scale liquid printers. I had problems: Pieces detaching from the supports and accidentally puncturing the FEP film, but some studying on youtube and internet forums (e. However, if you want this level of detail and build volume together, the Saturn 2 8K is hard to beat.

The display is additionally protected from impacts by a pre-installed, hardened (9H) protective film. After the print has completed the prints can be left to drip back into the resin tray for a short while.

The monochrome LCD is also thermally stable and has a much longer lifespan than conventional LCD displays. Quality Prints and Consistent Success: Matrix light source consists of 54 UV LED lights with uniform light emission, ensuring superior print results and a more accurate printing size. The hole will mostly help you out when washing and cleaning your model as most excess resin will leave the model as it is printed.

We do this using a variety of digital marketing networks and exchanges, advertising technologies like web beacons, pixels and cookies, in addition to technology offered by third parties such as Facebook pixel's custom audience feature.

The rate of laser power drop is related to the frequency of use, working hours, and working environment. Elegoo has been in the resin 3D printer business for the past few years and has produced several different sizes ranging from small printers like the recent Elegoo Mars 3, which has a 4K resolution, all the way up to the new Elegoo Jupiter, with a 6K resolution.

Then using the control panel on the front of the printer, you want to raise the build platform to a sufficient height that the resin tank can be removed.

After printing, the model will still likely have some leftover resin on it and, to get a resin print to look its best, you will want to clean it. Elegoo Mars Mate is an air filter with a built-in carbon filter that can effectively remove the unpleasant odor released when printing with resin, with up to 95% efficient purification for TVOC. The Elegoo Saturn 2 is driven by a pair of linear rails along with a nice thick lead screw for a very sturdy build platform, which is necessary to produce detailed prints at such a high resolution. If you are looking for a mid-sized 3D resin printer or you need to print in a high level of detail, you really can’t go wrong with this printer.To test printing a bust, I decided to go with a model of an Elf Archer Bust because the dimensions fit well in this printer and I wanted to see how the details came out.
