Round Tuit This is a difference between the included manual and the official Elegoo videos. I believe both would work, however I went with the paper in order to minimize the chance of damaging the FEP film during leveling just in case.

Yes, absolutely! In addition, one of the reasons that nitrile (a synthetic copolymer) started to be used in making disposable gloves was the high incidence of latex sensitization and allergy that was occurring in healthcare professionals who had been using latex exam and procedure gloves for years. The nitrile exam glove industry was formed as a result and latex gloves have been all but totally phased-out in hospitals. As a consequence, the other desirable features of nitrile gloves have become recognized (ruggedness, allergy-free, impervious to most chemicals) and they've found their way into many different industries as a form of PPE (personal protective equipment). Harbor Freight has nitrile glove in boxes of 50 or 100 at reasonable prices.

Except for the inclusion of the music track, your video is a master class in how to make instructional KZread videos. I appreciate that you kept the music track level low, but seriously, for these kinds of vids, music is only appropriate at the beginning and end, and occasionally for transitions. But what I really wanted to say is that, unlike so many of the amateur hacks on KZread, you obviously know your stuff and are multi-talented. You apparently took the time to script out what you wanted to say. You said it clearly, succinctly, and quickly. You moved through your material in a logical manner. You had great graphics, superb editing, and the equipment and procedure vids with the voice-overs were shot skillfully. In its totality, this was a very well-done presentation. Henceforth, whenever I encounter one of those painful KZread videos with some mumbling, bumbling fool as the star of the show, I am going to send a link to your video with the suggestion that this is how it should be done. That said, my Elegoo Mars arrived earlier today so I watched your presentation before unpacking and proceeding with my first print. All turned out well, which I attribute to Elegoo's product and the training and instruction I received from you video. Thank you for your efforts.

Instead of masking tape, you should seal all the edges of the LCD with Kapton tape. This prevents the FEP from sticking and in case you have a tear in the FEP during a print, prevents resin from seeping down into the LCD/printer.

This is my first resin printer, so I can’t comment about other printers from first-hand experience. However, it does seem quieter compared to other printers based on KZread videos I’ve seen. I was working next to the printer while it was making the pieces in this video and did not find it distracting. 🙂

I have FDM very cheaply (~400$) bought used a few years ago and layer height 0.02 and I use it sometimes.

Very good introduction to Resin 3D printing. Now I understand the process. While I am happy with my FDM printer for buildings and terrains, printing figurines has been hit and miss. My main concern is the potential for toxic fumes. I have limited space so I need to have a method of venting those fumes. Also, I am thinking a 'cure box' with a UV light would be more practical than putting the objects outside in the sunlight, particularly in the middle of winter! I have to do some more research as I am also interested in strength and durability of resin printing as I make items that need to be strong, flexible and durable.

probably z-axis; moving parts on Mars are good but for the price not the best; before using printer one should test how smooth the head movement is by hand; sometimes rollers are to tight and need to be readjusted; sometimes precision is not superb and with rolling parts even the slightest inaccuracy will make a "bump"; stepper motor here is small and may not have enough power to overcome all the forces caused by those minor imperfections; I've used number of roiling elements from china and you just cannot compare linear slide costing $30 with a high precision one costing 10x more; when you slide those by hand you can feel occasional resistance as balls and roiling surfaces may not be highly precise; Elegoo Mars is cheap and you just don't have highest quality moving parts including rollers and lead screw; doing test by hand and using proper lubrication and sometimes adjustment can help improve z-axis movement; in other cases it could be something else but usually it is mechanics

Could you use one of the UV units that are created for UV hardening gel nail polish?

It seems like it should work and be much more reliable than taking it outside and hoping it is sunny.

Great video. Thanks. Can anyone please explain why doesn't MSLA need a wiper to clean the glass after each layer, while SLA does? (eg: Formlabs Form printer)

@williamforbes6919

4 жыл бұрын

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is any difference between them as far as the need for a wiper goes. Cheap MSLA printers are more vulnerable to having cured resin stick to their FEP layer and having debris or dislodged prints damage the LCD and tank. You can absolutely print without one, you just have one less safety device during operation. I would definitely expect and demand that kind of feature on a higher end expensive machine, the price point on these MSLA printers though is almost low enough for it to be understandable.

the white printed plastic thing included is to hold the build plate at an angle, so the resin can flow back in the basin . just remove the plate and put the plastic tool on the holder. After that the plate on the tool... Nice Idea from Elegoo.. Every drip Resin is it worth ^^

I don't know what FDM printer you call usual, but I print on the Ender 3 with layer heights of 0.04mm on a 0.2mm nozzle when I really want to get some fine details.

what about price per print? how cheap is the FDA filament vs the resin liquid?

I need the SLA for some detailed projects. But I understand it's not as strong for functional parts? For example, you can print a bottle opener out of FDM, can you do the same out resin? Are there any super strong resins with the Elegoo Mars?

What if the machine is working, use one color resin Then we put another color resin while the machine is working? two tone color?

this is a nice looking printer; tbh though i just bought a form 3 and it automates almost all of this stuff; filling the resin tank, homing, all the software is spot on, remote job uploading, and i got the optional automated washing and curing units that take care of all that stuff too. it's sla not msla though.

3dm files can also work with this printer? and is this can be used for jewelry making purpose?

put rainx on both sides of the FEP. prevents resin from sticking to the FEP. prevents vacuum between the FEP and LCD. does not leave residue like 3in1 oil. you really don't want tape on the LCD because you want the FEP as close to the LCD as possible. however, you can put kapton tape around the edges of your LCD. kapton tape is very thin and can also prevent spilled resin from getting into the cracks around your LCD

Stoppy chopper All 3D printing models generally start out as STL files, which are then sliced in their respective software (e.g. Cura for FDM and Chitubox for MSLA) in order to allow them to be printed on a specific machine. Therefore you can print the same models on both types of printers, as long as they are sliced with the correct software and settings for that printer.

Great vid, congrats! Total newbie here, I guess you can't print colored models with this. What kind of machine would take in order to print let's say a head, and have the hair as one color, skin as another, the white of the eyes, etc? Many thanks!

@SuperMakeSomething

Thanks! Unfortunately doing multicolored prints is impossible with MSLA machines, because resin gets hardened one layer at a time. Therefore, it is not possible to "section off" parts of a print to print different areas in different colors. Your best bet for this would be a dual/multi-extruder FDM machine. I am currently reviewing the QIDI Tech X-Pro, which has two extruders, so it can print in two different colors, so definitely stay tuned for that! Other options exist to allow multiple colors, like the "Palette" add-on from Prusa for example, which might be a good option, though I have not had the chance to try it yet. Hope this helps!

I learned some good stuff, but came here wanting to know how build speed compared. Did I miss that bit?

@SuperMakeSomething

Thanks! You’re right - I did not call out the overall print time. In general, resin printing is faster for larger models (that use the whole build area), because you are exposing an entire layer at once. This is especially true for new printers that use “mono” LCD screens. A video about this technology and how it differs from the tech in the original Mars is coming soon, so stay tuned!

At this time, I do not have any hands-on time with this printer, but I may very soon and there may be a few social media posts on the way about this style of machine, so stay tuned... ;-) The Ender 3 Pro can be purchased here in case you are interested in going that route: amzn.to/35Rp9US

They definitely have less of a cleanup complexity compared to resin printers, though the resolution won’t be as high. For an immediate recommendation, I would point to either the Creality Ender 5 or the Lotmaxx SC-10, as these have a good trade off between build volume and size. (Check out my videos on both of these printers for more info + affiliate links if you are interested.) I will be live-streaming about the JGAurora A5S this weekend, which has a massive build volume, so that might be a good choice as well. I am currently in the process of reviewing a dual extrusion printer as well, which can be used to print with dissolvable supports, so this overcomes issues related to support removal. Hopefully this will be up in the next month or two, so stay tuned!
