ELEGOO Mars 3 Pro Resin 3D Printer with 6.66 inch 4K Monochrome LCD Screen Odor Reduction Function Fast Printing and High Accuracy 143mm x 89mm x 175mm Large Printing Size

The printer is very great. Could be depending on the computer but I noticed I have to wait a little longer to write files to the flash drive or else it won’t be read but I also noticed the flash drive was kind of cheap so I replaced it for a $5 one at target. Other than that, it was plug and play for me. The rubber seal does seem kind of loose. Might glue it so it stays on. But prints are really nice and I’ve had no issues with anything so far. I see reviews of people saying their printer absolutely does not work and then they show a screen saying it’s a flash drive issue. Nothing major. Their support is great! Make sure you visit their Facebook page to get a free FEP screen replacement! I haven’t had to use it yet but I now have extras in case I ever do need to.

This printer was the perfect intorduction to resin printing. It is a little work horse! It was easy to setup and didnt take much tweaking to get going. Once I learned a bit about resin printing this printer ran 24/7 with few issues. I had it alone for about 3 weeks before adding additional printers. I am now the owner of this printer, 3 of its bigger brothers (for larger model sizes) and soon to be a jupiter. The really important part about this printer is Elegoo customer service. I have several printers. There is a learning curve, and there are consumable parts (fep, lcd) and there are weird quirks in the prints even. I joined the elegoo resin printing facebook groups for some help and found SO many helpful people but when friendly advice couldnt solve the issue, Elegoo offical support stepped in and took care of the problem. That included free replacement parts to make sure I was up and printing again! It has been a wild ride in resin printing since I started with this little guy and I am so pleased that I just backed their kickstarter for the very large format Jupiter! If you are on the fence, this is worth investing in.

i have been into FDM printing for years since the first makerbot and in 2015 patented an enclosure i protoyped on an early form labs printer when i had work. during the pandemic, i got back into resin casting as a way to create enclosures and replicas of various jewelry or games i cant afford. as i was choking on the fumes of a non vacuum aspirated urethane based epoxy one morning i remembered that fdm printing had gotten faster, safer, and cheaper over the past 5 years, so i bought first a brand of 3d printer that was recommended with a mono screen. it arrived and was tiny and worse, printed the sample file and then refused to work again, so despondent i returns it. a few days ago, i was looking around for resin when i noticed this green printer and said huh because i believed only red printers could cure correctly. maybe it was bold but i just ordered it on the spot. it arrived, and heres three things i noticed : Way larger than the other printer id gotten for the same price with a better resolution uv emission panel and far easier resin loading and calibration. this was possible because secondly the instructions are super clear about what to do. i mean, you honestly cant really mess it up, i liked even details about turning the alignment screws in a certain order and to use a4 paper ( i sacrified some of my tomoe river stash for this because i figured if im going to use real a4 paper its best to use the best paper lol). and third, the detail is really great. my first print was the above cleric. i wanted to try chitubox right off as i had not used it with the prior printer that broke. i importrd the file that came in a set of medieval figures on the usb stock with this printer as an stl, built supports, and printer to some tough black resin. thats literally the most basic calibration with chitubox default settings. impressive.my final thought is that the one bad thing i noticed is after this print and another of the same for my spouse, i noticed leakage in the resin at. i cleaned it of course and found two small holes in the plastic lining. i am certain i didnt cause them while cleaning as they are pinprick sized and my best guess is that resin build up after my first print created supports that did not come off right and the initial layer formation crushed them. it has been hard to find online how to replace this plastic. i can find examples for the mars and the mars 2 pro but not this mars 2 - this bothers me because id like to get 2 more resin tanks so that i could store resin in the tank for short times while printing multiples of the same objects in different materials as i djd with our form labs long ago. however, i cannot find the green tanks for sale and the dimensions of metal tanks and red tanks differ slightly. honesty disclosure is that elegoo and i have been on communication regarding this issue and i do plan to share them this review with hope that they can send me a new resin tank and plastic so i can get going again. all in all id say that this printer fits a sweet spot in the maker community for what id call the cloistered creative - if you have basic knowledfe of many fabrication techniques and can run 3d software, this is your bat mobile printer and its a blast.

We purchased this printer to extend our 3D printing capabilities beyond FDM only and have been been extremely happy with the print speed and resolution. We selected Elegoo due to the high quality of all past purchases of their products. This printer met that same high quality, and was very easy to set up and get started. We have used Anycubic and Elegoo resins, with Elegoo Water Wash working the best for us. Their customer support is outstanding. We encounter a problem we could not solve, contacted their support, and received a very fast response and a perfect solution. Flawless. We highly recommend this printer for both the excellent quality and Elegoos customer support.

This is my second resin printer and I am so pleased with it. The quality of the prints are outstanding, the adhesion to the platform virtually flawless - I am so very pleased.

I only had one minor problem, the seal around the top comes off extremely easily, a couple dabs of CA glue fixes that right up. 8 month update: Down from 5 stars to 4 starts. First and foremost, the LCD just died on my, this is the reason why Im upgrading right now. However, a replacement is really easy to install and only costs $50. I got more life out of the LCD than advertised, its really not a problem. That being said, my biggest gripe about the printer is that its just way too small. An inch would really solve so many of the problems with this printer but then it might not be so damn affordable. If you want an entry level printer, its still wonderful (Ive also heard good things about the Mars 3), but if you want something that will still be good a year after getting into the hobby, Id spend a little more on something a little bigger.

Started out great and worked fine. All of a sudden it started to not print anything. Everything is just gooey and melted. Have no clue what changed or happened. Very frustrating and Im just unhappy with my purchase. Cant tell if its the new order of resin I got from them thats a bad batch or what. I am waiting for a different brand of resin to give it a shot if not its most likely the printer being junk.
