I have been using my Saturn 4 Ultra for a little while now, and until recently enjoyed the results. However: it has an inherent design flaw that anyone considering purchasing should heavily consider.

Because it uses the tilt-release system, the LCD screen inherently cannot be sealed from the inner workings of the machine (the system has to tilt robotically). This means that when your FEP invariable fails, there is no way to prevent it from leaking inside the machine (and into the LCD, etc).

To make this doubly annoying, the design of the machine itself is done in such a way that any internal cleaning or parts-replacing in such a case requires a COMPLETE tear-down of the machine (which is just lazy design on their part—or evil, a la Macbook Pro-design sensibilities).

I have reached out to the Elegoo support, but even if they replace it or something, the problem will remain. Now I'm shopping for a different device.

BEWARE!

This is a tough request for the old-schoolers here. There was once published a really cool biomechanical King Tut in a tattoo magazine (it may have been Tattoo Flash) by Stéphane Chaudesaigues.

This would have been maybe 1998 or so, I think. Does anyone know what this issue was or have the image at-hand?

Thanks in advance for anyone who knows what the heck I'm talking about!

I've tried and tried and cannot get a successful print out of this stuff! I have an Elegoo Mars 2 and a Saturn 4 Pro and have tried prints of various types on both.

I've tried extreme lift heights, long exposures, thicker connections for my supports...

I'm going crazy!

Who knows what the trick is here??

Thanks!
