Buy WARGAMER – The best Resin for Miniatures https://yesthats3dprinted.com/pages/wargamer?ref=FauxHammer
I got in early on the M5s at $399 so that's great value for me. Added the M5 vat for when I need detail. I'm not locked in on printing miniatures so the detail in my eyes is amazing
Thanks for this 🙂
can you use the "premium" versions of the printers without the acf? does it have any noticeable change? Or is it just not worth it to get the premiums if you're not going to use the speed advantages?
Thank you
If the Saturn 3 ultra had the normal fresnel technology with the clear plate, I would pay the extra for it.
I do not really care about speed, but things like the internet, etc, sound very nice.
However, I do not want to play the lottery and maybe not get lucky and get a worse quality than with the saturn 3, while paying more for it.
Flex plate pets you do 2 prints before you need to get hot water to do support removal
Unless the GK2 wants to hit that $500 price point for black Friday, the S3U it is! Thx!
I have the M5s and Mono 2, very happy with them considering I upgraded from the older Mono. The Saturn 3 Ultra and Mars 4 probably would have been the better combo for only slightly more money, but at this point all printers are so much better than what they were 5 years ago that you really can't go wrong regardless of what brand you pick. Even the cheap Mono 2 produces beautiful prints. While the M5s technically produces the worst quality prints in this head to head, the print quality is still really good. Without magnification the prints on all these printers are very similar to the naked eye, especially after you paint them.
😀
yes, this helped me choose a printer.
What I'd love to see in future resin printers:
1) Higher resolution DLP printers. Currently I think only a single DLP system from Texas Instruments is in use, at 2K. I'd love to see something higher resolution.
2) We've seen some ideas out there for using force sensors on the printer to speed up printing and detect failures. I'd love to see more of that.
3) WTF? How do none of these printers have good WiFi control like we see with FDM Printers and Octoprint/Klipper? I really want to see good WiFi control and using a USB port to connect a webcam for external monitoring. A reasonable UI that allows for starting/stopping prints, managing files, and otherwise just adjusting all the same settings they all have in the menus already seams so basic and like an easy way for them to differentiate from competition. Hell sell it as an add on that plugs into a USB on the printer and I'd still consider it a win.
I have the Saturn 3 ultra and i like it, Wifi was a big selling point for me as i hate those little usb drives that fail anyways. I did have a fep failure and I am about to try the fep from the saturn 3 myself to see if i can see the difference (I prefer quality over speed anyways). Thanks for the comparison video!
I sell printers for a living and one reason I sell a lot more Anycubic than Elegoo is that you can often get Anycubic well below the recommended or official prices. Also, something you will never get from reviews is that I get more customer returns on Elegoo printers. If the Saturn 2 has the Fresnel lens, then I will be taking another look at those.
Any Idea when the wargamer resin will be available in other places than in the UK?
Can you not lower the uv power on the m5 to reduce that over exposure? You can do it on the original mono x I'd have thought you could do it on these
M5 is a higher number than Saturn 3! 😂
I really need to know if the Mars Mate Air Purifier gets rid of the VOCs or not. I was prepared to happily drop the $150 for it before I saw your video. They clearly claim it removes "up to" 95% of VOCs. And if that's not true, that's a big deal.
Can you hack the Anycubic deeper vat to fit on the Elegoo machines say by making new screw holes etc……???
I dont like the usb on the front. By build plate hits the usb when placing it in front of the machine and also any resin that spills typically spills in front, where the usb is.
Smaller size for the anycubic, literally made the difference for me so i can fit it in a cupboard 😅
Cool. Also why do you always pour the resin onto the build plate, not into the vat? Should I be doing that? Also also, I don't get why you don't like flex plates. It makes the whole thing much easier. Especially on my old photon s which has become incredibly difficult to level and it MUST be leveled every time the build plate is taken off, the flex plate literally saved this printer from the scrap yard.
My m5s auto levelling is malfunctioning and the center neck peice in the build plate is 2mm to short so nothing sticks to the build plate only the vat! The fans are so loud you cant here your tv or have it running throughout the night itll drive you bonkers! I have had the anycubic technicians emailing and getting video's back from whats happening they are trying to find a fix but they have sent out the new re designed build plate for it that can be set level to the screen when home the plate! There is a quick fix just now on printables some nice person has re designed the original build plate and the 3 separate parts it bolts up in! This has solved my issue's with the auto levelling and the build plate adhesion! It confirms the central neck peice thats bolted to the plate itself is 2mm short and lifts 2mm at the rear out the box and nearly went through the screen! Honestly save your soul.and pennies get.the saturn 3 ultra! Check the m5s anycubic reddit we are all on just now with exactly the same issues! We are beta testers for anycubic just now and they have re designed a version 2 build plate they are sending out to customers!
Beige sunlu abs like works great for the high speed its like water this is what I'm using just now its alot thinner than the grey and now i have had to 3D print a replacement part for the m5s build plate to get the correct home hight for auto levelling till the version 2 build plate arrives i atleast have it working just now! M5s build plate and spacers on printables if need a fix till anycubic sends your new build plate out!
Still love my saturn 2 8k it just works! It takes anything you can throw at it! So can only imagine what the saturn 3 will be like! Cant wait to get mine! Hate my m5s!
because you are comparing the wrong printers… DUH your reviews are the worst
Look at all that scraping and mess your making without a flex plate, not to mention the posibility of accidently flicking a fragile model on to the table, let alone across the room (7:55 > 7:58, you literally fling a piece out of shot at a speed that my eye can barely follow???). I can pull my flex plate off the print surface while its attatched to the printer, keeping all left over resin on top of the build plate in the printer. Then I can just flex all the pieces straight into my wash and cure machine, I also sell miniatures and other things as a small business and I can tell ya it saves a heap of time, on top of the other bonuses. "Waste of money" for an objectively useful part is a bit funny considering we are speaking about hobbys, as well as printers that cost up to $800 AUD, sparing not even $20 AUD in some cases for a flex plate that improves the experience so much is a bit of a nonconformist mind set for the sake of it in my conformist sheep brain opinion.
Trust me, I know im coming across butt burt at a throw away comment, but it has genuinely made my experience with resin printers so much better, increasing speed at which I can switch prints, clean prints and makes it easier for me to keep those smaller pieces in tact through out the support removal process.
Long long did take to print items in video
helped allot
Really like your videos, but what is the obsession with the screen size vs pixel size. Every single video is the same constant explanation. We really get it. Let's move on…please
Do the Saturn 3 and Ultra use the same vats outside of the film?
between all my purchases I've always been burnt one way or another with Anycubic printers. My M5s will be the last Anycubic printer I buy. Autoleveling sounds amazing until it isn't.
While I'm not a big fan of Elegoo's ball joint, you can actually mount it at a 90 degree angle to let resin drop off the build plate. I miss that simple design decision.
5:00 – Anycubic Photon M5s имеет металлическое шасси из литого алюминия сложной конструктивной формы внутри с ребрами жесткости. Я разбирал данный принтер и знаю, что говорю. Пластиковый корпус – это не несущая конструкция этого принтера. Все внутренние элементы принтера закреплены к этому шасси.
26:44 – Anycubic Photon M5s имеет так же контроль мощности двигателя. Это позволяет принтеру определять количество смолы , залитой в ванночку и выводить предупреждение, если объем смолы недостаточен при печати. Так же контроль мощности позволяет определять заклинивание оси Z и останавливать печать при неисправности движения. Но, всё же, драйвер шагового двигателя не имеет контроль пропуска шагов, так что есть еще, к чему стремиться.
how about phronze 12k?
Great video and channel! Wanted to correct a thing, OG Anycubic Photon was full metal body and had LRL. I still love mine!
I took the easy way out. I already own an M5s and use the nFEP film and just purchased a Saturn Ultra and will be swapping out the ACF with the FEP.
Hey Ross, I have read that the Ultra (both saturn and mars) have limits on the lift speed which stop you from slowing them down further. This can mean failure on swapping from ACF to NFEP or PFA because the lift speed won't slow enough for those films. Have you come across this issue?
Any news on the Mars Mate Review? Really interested in if its working in filtering out VOC´s, so i can finally use my Saturn 3 thats sitting in a box for 3 weeks now because no dedicated printing room 😀
I was disappointed to learn about the Mars Mate Air purifier. Besides a proper review you have in store for that, can you also tell us if Elegoo offers replacement filters? I was looking for an eternity everywhere online and couldn't find anything. I wasn't going to buy it it until I knew that tidbit. If this one isn't good, I would very much appreciate recommendations.
Just wondering, Is there a reason you pour the resin on the build plate or is that just for visuals? Also, I have been printing resin constant since i followed your guide and have had no fails. Ive been using the Sunlu ABS-Like resin and its been great.
Any chance of reviewing the Creality?
If you had to choose would it be Saturn 3 or Saturn 3 Ultra? Thanks
