ELEGOO Saturn 3 12K MSLA 3D Printer with 10" Monochrome LCD Screen Fresnel Collimating Light Source Voxeldance Tango Software Printing Size 218.88mm*122.88mm*250mm

This was my best experience with a Resin Printer. Very easy to use. Made a TON of Warhammer figures. I had tried out 2 other resin printers in the past when they were a bit newer. And they were a pain! Resin printing is still quite a messy and smelly operation if you don't set up a proper workstation area for it. But if you can get the ventilation and tools you need. This printer is awesome. Software it comes with is great. But if you are new to printing. I'd advise 1000 times over to start with an FDM printer. But if you have no care for 3d printing other than just detailed miniatures. Go for it and just get this printer.

As you can see from the photos the print quality is outstanding. I use Anycubic standard resin with it. Clear, clear green, and black. Fast print times.If there is a downside it's the fact that the factory FEP is crappy. Didn't last long and ended up with a bunch of cured resin on the screen. I had one with no screen protector. Took days with a plastic razor blade and acetone to get it all off. These prints were done after the mishap. The girls face was printed right in one of the affected areas and you can see she turned out great..02 layer height, and my post processing is denatured alcohol, hot water rinse and support removal. I sand support stubs off, and cure. No other surface treatment for smoothing. Light coat of automotive primer, and then Vallejo, createx, army painter, and citadel paints.

I was skeptical at first when I was researching this printer but i must say I'm pleasantly surprised. If you are new to resin printing or want a simple and easy to understand printer, this one is good for you. I got this as an upgrade from my Saturn as getting parts for the older printer was a pain.Pros:- Un-boxed, added resin and printed first try. Minimal setup.- Fast Print times, at least 2x as fast as a my Saturn and 3x as fast as my Mars- Decent print size- The Build plate's etched surface makes removing prints a breeze- Had no real problems with Zeroing the plate. (I don't trust auto-zeros, so I verified.)- Maintained Temperatures very nicely (I live in a desert though so take that with some salt)- Time-lapse made it easy to go back and see where and how my print failed.- Worked very well with default values of Elegoo and Anycubic resins, very little fuss setting them up.- Build Plate was very easy to remove and place back in place.Cons- All my FEP wear out at around 30-40k pulls despite the claim of making it to 60k- Camera is low quality, grainy and will suffer significantly from light glare.- Failure detection never worked for me.- When finished printing, the build plate raises only slightly making removal of the build a tad tight unless manually raised first.- No built in light, makes any time lapses after hours just black.- Takes up a larger work bench area due to the tilt top feature.- No Handle on Tilt Top.- Resin splashes a little and causes spots on the lid and area around resin tray/tank while printing.- The tilting resin tray/tank adds an extra layer of concern during cleaning. Do Not Let Resin Drip Down There.Not sure this is a con as much as a personal gripe, but I would of liked it much better if Elegoo did something better than the drip bib that comes with it. It does indeed catch the resin drips, but its flimsy and seems like an after thought. For an item that is essential to protecting the mechanisms of the printer during printer clean up and print removal, you'd think they could have given in more thought or at least sold cheap replacements for when the one that comes with it eventually gets damaged.TLDR:Good Printer For Medium Size Prints. Very Easy To Use. Follow Instructions. Expect To Replace FEP Sooner Than Advertised. Keep Clean.

The media could not be loaded. FOLLOW UP: DeepleeDirect reached out to me and offered a full refund for the printer! That was way above and beyond of them. I said a working print plate would suffice and 3 days later it was at my doorstep. DeepleeDirect really did well in taking care of a defective print plate when Elegoo still hasn't responded.I started testing the printer with the print plate and it works flawlessly!THANK YOU DEEPLEEDIRECT!I bought this to replace my Saturn which killed itself with a pucker turned leak onto the lighting. Upon assembling this, I found that the print plate mounting hole is so large even when completely locked down it allows the print plate to rotate laterally 1/4 inch in each direction. This defect makes the printer completely useless.I contacted Amazon and they were very helpful, setting me up with all of my purchase info and the contact information to Elegoo. Here we are almost a week later and Elegoo still has not responded. Zero tech support for an obviously incorrect or defective part. I won't be purchasing from Elegoo again.

I like the printer but cannot use it because I cannot get a lcd replacement screen!!!! It is inexcusable and unacceptable to sell a printer and not provide replacement parts. All you can get is a lousy screen from a third-party provider. Elagoo has been sold out of the screens for more than a month and I am really frustrated to see that elagoo is not fixing the problem!!! This a new model I can get one for the saturn 2 but not for the saturn 3!!!

Stand even with more expensive 3D printer.

Honestly amazing, the quality of details which comes out, I have no words. Easy to setup and even before print. It’s fast, the delivery also was quick

Coming from a Mars 2 Pro, there was a bit of a learning curve. Especially when it came to leveling the (auto-leveling) plate. But it's been working great for the last 3 months.
