I like the Saturn mostly for the print size. When I bought it it had the biggest print volume you could get for the money.

The printer performs as advertised I am pleasantly surprised by build quality. BUT The Vat hold down screws will strip as did on my Mars. The M4 holes had to be rethreaded and high quality stainless stele 4x40 hex heads used. This is my only complaint.

This is a great machine with a pretty low learning curve. Love how easy it is to get great prints. And their customer support is even better. Had my machine for about 6 months when a failed print caused the tank to leak and ruin the UV screen. I contacted Elegoo to see when screens would be in stock again as I needed to complete some prints for the holidays. They graciously sent me a new one free of charge and I was able to finish my prints. Highly recommend for the quality of the machine and the amazing customer service.

I got the printer and my first few prints were great. Im new to resin printing so I may have been too harsh cleaning the FEP and, on my third print, a hole formed that leaked resin all over the polarizer. Im working with ELEGOO to get another polarizer and Ill update this review (and the 4 star rating) once I get a chance to print more and see how it holds up.

This machine prints beautifully once you get everything dialed in. At first I had problems with it trying to print the rook and it not sticking to the buildplate. After going back and forth with support with troubleshooting the problem, we narrowed it down to the PFA film being bad. Once replaced it has been printing beautifully since. Overall if you’re thinking about buying it just go for it and buy it. You won’t be disappointed with the quality that this thing prints out

This printer is absolutely amazing in every way. It exceeded my expectations and honestly makes me glad I waited to get into resin printing. The build plate is sloped so the resin runs off, the print resolution is astonishing, and it produces absolutely amazing prints even though I have no experience with resin printing. MSLA, huge build volume, linear rails, and a bunch of well thought out touches make this a great purchase, and the price is a steal.

test print took 2h and 50 min no visible print line cleaning took around 15 min with alcohol bath and sun curing (on sunny hot day ) very simple to set up

*** So update to my early post after Elegoo reached out, they were quick to make it right. Sent me a new machine out; straight from Amazon so none of the normal delay as with the parts which I did appreciate. *** I picked up a Saturn almost exactly one year ago and the second limit switch has no gone out after only a few weeks of printing. While customer service will eventually replace it, youre looking at a week of email exchanges before the read the entire email to see what the issue is and then shipping from China. In the 11ish months Ive had this thing it has sat broken for a significant chunk of that. I could have gone through 4 Photons for the same price nearly. Add on terrible instructions for things such as LCD replacement its been a ... frustrating year to say the least.

No instructions so you better know what you are doing, this isnt recommended for people new to 3d printers. If yoy know what you are doing this is the best band for your $.

I am a table top and war gamming enthusiast, and even host my own DnD games weekly with a bunch of friends and co-workers. This printer has been phenomenal in making miniatures and giving me high quality prints constantly. I came from originally using another resin printer for all my prints, and I have not gone back to using it at all. This printer has been the best money I have spent on all of my 3D printing equipment. However, it was a little confusing at first because, since its a larger form printer and a dual locking axis it took me a few tries to get it leveled. When I figured it out though, it was smooth sailing from there on. I unfortunately had my FEP film break on me but, I cannot say if that was due to a manufacturing issue or a end user error while cleaning the vat. I only have a few cons with this printer. It is really really easy to miss the MAX fill mark on the vat, the fan being off while not printing was not a default setting; however, the fan part was easy to fix after reading up on how to edit the gcode, and the printer is not well sealed so the small from the resin is a bit more potent than normal. Which I feel like this could be fixed by adding a small rubber coat to the rim of the lid. Other than that I have loved this thing to Saturn and back! (Get it?)
