Wait, what?! Does an expert like you still go with crazy bottom layer times like 27-35secs or was it just a default setting? If I have one pet peeve when it comes to resin printing it's people using way longer exposure times than they need. I speculate you fry your screen faster this way, too. Not because the extra mins are anything in the greater scheme of a multiple hour print but because you may be putting a whole lot more heat into the screen. I have yet to have a "bed adhesion" failure on my old, trusty Anycubic 4K Mono and my bottom expos are ~x5 the regular exposure time. Meaning I am often at just 10-12 secs and only four layers. And nope, I didn't come up with this, smarter people did, but it simply works. Besides that, great review. I am hoping the tilting mech can also help resins with heavy die or ceramic particles, etc in them to not settle out so fast. On long prints, this is sometimes an issue. So, maybe the swirling will keep the particles suspended better but at least the faster print time will help.

Oh, I didn’t test, but maybe it is possible to manually adjust the actual pressure of each corner, tightening the springy screws.

Great review, thank you! So...between the GKTwo and the Saturn 4 ultra...all other things being equal and cost not being a factor, which would you choose? Also, for some unclear reason, I tend to get consistent suction/peel force related failures, despite my long bottom layer exposure times and releveling. So the peel away tech of this new printer has massive appeal. Any hopes of seeing this tech surface on the next Uniformation printer? Or not needful because of other factors inherent in the GKTwo?

I like that you are honest here, this is the best saturn 4 review in the internet (until your next review). Enough nice word, some points I am interested, if there will be a more in depth video. 1. Does the tilt mechanism make a huge difference, a super thin supports possible. 2. Can you talk more about the "auto level", can I ajust the screws or change the higt of the plattform? 3. Do you think, than its possible to use a flexplate (I know, you dont like them, you cann and will probably skip this question) Thank you

Getting this for my birthday present to myself in August. When I started printing a couple of years ago your videos helped me come to a decision on which machine to go. If the link still works in August, ill be using it!

Great review, does the lid let out resin smells?

Luv my saturn 3, holding off on based on your review

Ross! thanks for another printer review! thanks to your effort I was able to get a uniformation gk2 earlier! (is it still good?) but I could really use some resin suggestion help! please help ross!! 1/6 1/4 scale models is what im currently messing around with! (you did mention Phrozen Aqua Hyperfine! Im just nervous to get started)

As I am just getting into the resin printer side of the 3D printing hobby I was just about to get the GKtwo over the Saturn 3 Ultra, however, this new model with its seeming ease of entry use makes me feel like I should go with the Saturn 4 Ultra. I wish it had that heater built in, but with the cost savings being close to 50% I can use the other monies to get a wash and cure station at the same time instead of DIYing those solutions. Thanks for the review, by the way, your lid open dimensions were exactly what I was hoping to hear as the machine will be going into a closed structure with outdoor venting. Cheers!

Hopefully not a stupid question but does the tilt function allow for the flat surfaces of a print to be set at less of an angle to the build plate or even set on it?

Great Video!

I will be using your link when i order mine.

It's awesome that the Calibration mode allows you to specifically set the time, rather than them deciding what the steps will be for you. That allows you a Binary (Quintinary, actually) Search for dialing in a new resin. For example, if consensus is that the optimum print time is somewhere between 3.7 and 4.1, you can do as follows: Print 1: 3.5, 3.75, 4.0, 4.25 --Two Best: 3.75 & 4.0 Print 2: 3.8, 3.85, 3.9, 3.95 --Two best: 3.95, 4.0 Print 3: 3.96, 3.97, 3.98, 3.99 --Two best: 3.96, 3.97 Print 4: 3.962, 3.964, 3.966, 3.968 --Two best: ???? With _one_ more print, splitting the difference between the two best from print 4, and you've dialed in the perfect print time for that resin to the maximum precision in Chitubox. Plus, if one of the earlier prints was "perfect" from your perspective, then you're done. Add in some sort of resin temperature control, and you should have effectively perfect prints every time with only _four_ test prints total.

Great review Ross for the money and the features you mentioned this sure is worth having a second look. Curious to see if those mini heaters are efficient or worthless and it would of been nice if the lift up cover would of had the hinges in a more functioning position as to allow the cover to be raised up and not pass beyond the back of the printer especially for those with limited space. I don't know if someone has shown the true leveling of the bed to the vat but that would be interesting to see also. I will be on the look out for your next review on this printer, thanks for your work and time.

can you test how saturn 4 ultra would print a flexible resin? those resins require higher lift distances while printing so I'm really curious how, if at all, they would print with this tilting mechanism 🤔

Please start comparing printers to the GK Two and similar. I know they compete in difference price brackets but in this case the speed could be a real deciding factor between the two. How does the print speed of the GK Two compare to this printer?

hello between this one and the future m7 Pro from anycubic, which one would you choose? Because I'm very hesitant :) very good video by the way :)

How's the seal on lid regarding resin fumes? I have a Mars 4 9k and the lid does a great job keeping the fumes inside when not in use.

Ross, I did it. I pre Ordered the Saturn Ultra 4 with your link but now I need some advice. What do I do with my old Anycubic Mono X with a burnt out screen lol. It’s not worth the cost to replace the screen in my opinion and I don’t want to a ship it anywhere due to cost. Thrift shop I guess? Or maybe recycle the UV light for a new post process curing box? What would you do?

Hi Ross, thanks for the video, I was now curious to see how it handles light support, or even very light supports, with this innovative way making the levels. And another thing I'm curious about is if the temperature affects it less then the normal way of printing, of course the best is to have the right temperature, but would be nice to see if this printer is less affected then the others due to this new mechanics.

Is the speed upgrade with the 4 ultra really worth losing build height and being more drippy than the 3 ultra

One next interaction. 1) Handle 2) Easy removal of lid without unscrewing anything, just pressing to release 3) Front removal without screws 4) any leak protection inside to catch leaking resin thru the gap. 4) Easy replacement for films by just replacing plastic module so it can take few seconds 5) bigger screen with adjustable position

Great review! :) I pre-ordered an S4U recently so it's nice to see a positive look at it. I see Anycubic have just announced the Mono 7 with a heated vat, a resin pump, a 14k screen (for whatever that's worth) and they've increased the Z height so the build volume is on a par or maybe slightly better than this. Of course they don't have the tilting vat and in the UK it'll be significantly more expensive than the S4U.

Did the tilt mechanism help to reduce supports contact size? Thats the only thing i want to know before i buy. Everything else is good, but to me support size matters allot in my next printer as this affects time and work until finished painted model the most

Do you know the power of the light source? I feel like that is going to start becoming a distinguishing feature as qol catches up across the board.

hey quick question. I have never had a resin printer before, and all the talk or the air purifiers scares me a little bit. If i got a printer, id mainly have to keep it in my bedroom. So, how good are the elegoo filters? Would it be ok for me just to use 1, or 2, of the USB filter sticks (not sure which printer ill get, might help decide)? would the mars mate filter be ok? or would the only real solution for to get one that filters everything outside through a hose, through my window. i was planning on getting either the saturn 3 or the ultra version, but if the saturn 4 series will have an external port for this, maybe that would be a better fit. i wouldn't print very often either, maybe once a week at most, if that changes anything

So i want to ask...if it's shifting the resin in the vat that also mixes the resin to reduce the amount of separation of the resin??

You opened the printer up and mentioned it was simple to do so but how to easy is an LCD replacement?

Ok, I was about to buy the GK Two. Should I get this instead? Is the print quality better than the Uniformation?

Absolute no-brainer, this S4U is far, far superior in every way, and worse in no way, while costing about half the price of a GK2. I never liked Elegoo, but credit where credit is due, they did this one right from what it seems now.

I’m curious about one thing, seeing that the ultra 3 which is what I own and this are essentially using the same internals, will the 3 ultra get this resin calibration capability in a firmware update possibly? Or maybe it has and I did not realize or update it yet, I don’t update when I have it working perfectly with PFA film, firth thing that was done when I received it.

Would you recommend this over the Phrozen Revo?

Forget not, the Prusa Sl1S had a tilting vat too. Though I don't know about the inside workings.

kind of dumb question, does the resin tray from the 4, fit in other Saturn series? because i want that built in pour spout

Saturn 4 ultra with the $50 elegoo mini heater or the gktwo for printing my own stuff? Also new to printing.

Ross, how does printing reliability compares to regular up and down printer ? can you skip out on supports ? Is there less artifacts / defects when it comes to standard type printer ?

Ай бұрын

The tilt mechanism including the motor on the S4U is clearly done right, very robust for sure.

how do you ensure that the print has separated from the fep if you can't adjust the lift height?

Tilt releases seems to me not only good for speed, but also for suction cups.. better releasing, and more stability on the axis when a print is a geometrical directly on the build plate kind of prints..

@FauxHammer Ross -- how do you feel this compares to what we have seen on the Anycubic M7 Pro so far? That is $499 currently but has a heated vat system so close in price to the S4 Ultra + Heater.

is it 2x faster than the saturn 3, I just bought one 1 month agow. I wonder if I should pick up a 4 ultra later? I like the tilting vat and speed, more speed less fumes?

I have seen feature requests on the prusa platform to enable switching off the tilting. Reason: as the tilting force is not perpendicular, the parts tend to warp. Is this likely to be an issue? If so, I would suggest a printer with two tilting mechanisms, one on each side, so the tilting could be done alternatively front-down and back-down, to even that out. Would not even be much more expensive imo.

So is it better with the heater than the uniformation gktwo?

So what's the big difference between this tilt and the Prusa tilt? Geniune question as I don't understand.

Soooo… is the leveling of the plate still necessary with that spring mechanism?

Ross, this really is the best Saturn 4 Ultra review I have seen. I am a bit skeptical about the lack of speed options in the slicer and just Slow/Fast in the printer. I agree that the tilt helps so much with peel forces. This is great for beginners. But more advanced users should be able to experiment with even faster options. Hopefully, an option can be made as firmware update. I was also surprised you didn't mention that a handle would be helpful. I saw you lift the lid with your pinky which is great. And then I thought that I would have a whole bunch of fingerprints all over the front.

Not if, not when, but how often will you take time to open the machine up to clean the resin that drips. Perhaps a latch to open the front to clean drips will encourage the user. I forsee pools of sticky resin inside the machine.

Hey Ross, kinda off topic, but I wiil say it again, I tried your resin and it's superb! Much much better compared to anycubic WW+, I just hope that it doesn't crack as people say waterwashable resins do, even tho I'm printing models that I prime and paint with lacquers...

Is the heater thing really that big of an issue? I mean... I live in the Midwest US and my old pre-order saturn seems to do just fine as long as I stay above 40*f, which is pretty cold. I mean, you want it above freezing for sure, but once it gets going the reaction is exothermic and it keeps itself warm.

I appreciate having the heater and carbon filter as an optional extra, as I print in enclosures with heaters and extraction external to the printer, and i can't be the only one!.

Same. Personally, the carbon filter does absolutely nothing for me. I have an extraction fan hooked up to the back too which on paper should be more than enough but I think the machine (Saturn 2 in this case) just isn't airtight as I need to it be. Without a respirator I can always smell it if I'm in the same room and if I'm there for even 5-10 minutes my throat gets scratchy in a way I've never experienced. Similar story for the heater.

Florida man says don't heater me bruh.

This is really cool. I like the speed and the detail of it. I don't really like the potential for disaster from the unprotected screen. I've lost screens before due to resin leaking under the tape seal and I don't relish having to replace a screen in something with a tilt mechanism. That said, if they do the same with a Mars ultra later this year, I'll probably be on board.

tempted to pick this one up. the peel forces on my jupiter are just a pain to manage, this may solve that at the expense of a smaller print area.

Check the review when it’s out, I think it may push you over the edge

cool and interesting review! I liked how indepth and technical it was, but i would suggest to cut down on the stock reaction clips. They are too long and don't add anything but interrupt the flow of your visual narration, maybe add them in an overlay over actual footage if you must.

We keep them to a minimum, there’s genuinely nothing that works better here

is it possible to put a magnetic plate on this?
