This is my first 3d printer. I spent a lot of time researching before settling in on one to buy. I choose the Elegoo Saturn for 2 main reasons. First resin has the level detail I was looking for. The second, its very simple to put together and use. I was printing the test item provided with the printer within 30 minutes, and most of that was me watching setup videos to make sure I did it right. I like this machine. Most of my issues printing have been because of my own ignorance. Needed to watch more videos on the software, had several misprint due to my own lack of experience That being said the machine itself is super easy to setup. While it does not auto level, that is simple enough to do manually. Its much quieter than I thought it would be. Two caveats, first I wish the instructions had been more detailed. Especially when it comes to cleaning. The second is a feature I wish they would add to the machine. A bubble level built in to the machine would be nice. I thought I had it on a level surface until I poured in the resin, then it was obviously leaning by the way the resin was sitting in the reservoir. For my first 3d printer I have been very happy with this. There is a learning curve to using it, but I have enjoyed what I have printed so far.

Other than the battle of finding one in stock, this printer is amazing!!!! Upgrading from a Mars 2 and there have been no issues so far! I print to sell, this is a workhorse! - Ive purchased a few of these and every time they are updated with new hardware upgrades etc, Elegoo is an amazing company! If this is going to be your first printer, just know youll go through more resin as youll want to fill the plate up all the time!!

This review is mainly about customer service as being an existing Elegoo owner I can vouch for their printer results. When I first received my printer I noticed that the corner by the power supply plug had been damaged in transit from what had to be a solid impact as the packaging and box showed surprisingly little damage. No big deal, its in the back and simple to make secure again with a little effort. At this point I started a test print and realized the rear fans were not spinning up, this is more concerning as the LEDs are going to get hot and really do need some cooling. Contacted Elegoo support and after reviewing the damage I was given the options of return through amazon or have replacement parts sent out and perform the repairs myself. Not trusting Amazon wouldnt just trash the returned printer I opted to perform the repairs. The parts ship from China so it took about 1.5-2 weeks for them to arrive and took maybe 15 minuets to swap the parts into the new chassis and boom fully functional printer. This is my first time needing to use their support and it was handled excellently. Along with just recommending the printers in general, I can definitely recommend them for their support if you have issues. You just need to be patient as the time zone difference can drag out correspondence but the end result is excellent.

I think the only thing that I dont like is I wish it came with extra FEP film. Other than that it has been an exellent printer

Disclaimer: Elegoo support asked me to write this review after they shipped me some replacement parts for free. They did not ask me to put anything specific in the review. ------ This is my first resin printer and its been a ton of fun. I have printed a handful of 32mm scale minis and most of them have turned out great. My only reason for reviewing 4 stars is because I wish it was harder to make the mistakes I did. Resin shouldnt have any feasible way to get to the interior of the machine because there are always end users like me who make mistakes. I will say that if you are also a first time printer, dont expect this to work like a 2D printer. Printing, washing, curing, etc. is a process and its something you get better at over time. Regardless, this machine has worked really well as my first printer. Unfortunately since Im new to 3D printing in general, I made some rookie mistakes and had a hole in my FEP during an overnight print. Resin leaked onto the screen, through the cracks around some screws, and down onto the motherboard and cured since the UV lights were on. I contacted support basically asking for advice on how to remove it, but they decided to just ship me a new motherboard and FEP which makes my life much easier. They also gave me some instructions to replace these parts. I will also add that the machine is fairly easy to work on. Taking the screen out is simple, replacing the FEP is simple, and taking the Z-axis off is just a few hex bolts. With the Z-axis off, you have full access to everything in the machine with lots of room to maneuver. Top notch support after dropping $500 and Ill be sticking with Elegoo because of it.

I purchased two of these units to add to my maker workshop. We build studio scale models for the gaming and movie studios and been using 3D FDM printers for years. I was excited to try SLA printers to capture even higher detail but the experience hasnt been great. Were only having about a 40-60% print success rate on both machines. We have tried numerous print settings, and have consumed countless FEP sheets, resin and IPA due to failures. We are using Elegoo resin with its recommended settings and still with limited success. When the prints do succeed they are beautiful but at the cost of failure, it just to hight to continue using these units.

The quality of the printer is amazing. I havent had a need to use antialiasing since the screen resolution is so high for the size. It prints fast and things stick great to the build plate with no elephants foot.

Pulled from the box, within 5-10 minutes was printing. This is my second Elegoo machine, the first being a Mars P. The ease of use, the fact that the machine just does what it is suppose to, and the quality of print were all super impressive coming from fdm. Got my first Elegoo in December of 20, my second in February 21. Only issue weve ran into at all was completely avoidable, damaged the fep and in turn the screen. Reached out to Elegoo and was issued replacement parts. Have seen and read that their service is amazing, have to say my experience with them is nothing but spectacular. Would recommend an Elegoo product to everyone, truly a fan!

Tengo dos impresoras creality LD002h y LD006, y he tenido solo problemas y fallas y marcas de capas en las impresiones, el soporte contesta las preguntas pero no sirven sus soluciones, son malas estas impresoras. Decidí arriesgarme y comprar esta impresora Elegoo y realmente es una maravilla en todos los sentidos, la recomiendo definitivamente.

Both original and replacement machines had defective UV lights that didnt work. Extremely poor quality control
