ELEGOO Saturn 3 Resin 3D Printer, Screen Protector and Air Purifier,10-Inch 12K Mono LCD, Large Printing Size of 8.62x4.84x9.84 inches, Desktop Msla 3d Printer for Beginner

The printer is great, the fact that it is £100 more than direct from Elegoo is just a rip off thoughThe RRP is a made up figure too

I am completely sold on the details of this printer, and with the extra Z height. 10/10

Ok so the Elegoo Saturn 3 12k Ultra should be getting the 5⭐️ review it deserves but here me out.The Saturn 3 is an amazing out of the box printer. Set up and build is easy and instructions are simple to follow. It’s a very sturdy printer compared to a lot of the filament printers on the market and Print quality is outstanding, expected of a 12k, with little to no clean up and prep needed before painting. Print time is very quick compared to a filament 3D printer, printing in half the time with super detail.But!It’s dead already! Hasn’t even made it to a full 7 months of ownership. Goes through all the motions with no actual printed results!Now I know it’s probably going to be an easy fix, and I know that it’s most probably going to be a replacement part, but it’s extremely frustrating as you don’t expect a printer of this quality to die after a minimal amount of printing time. And when I say minimal we’re talking 2 model kits of no great size and a bust, which isn’t a lot of printing hours.Now I’ve contacted Elegoo through the link in Amazon but I know from previous experience, trying to fix an Elegoo printer at work, that they will take a long time to respond, or ignore, and I will have to go through Elegoo China to get help. Previously it took over two months to get a response and a further two weeks to receive a replacement mother board.So I will new be looking at a good 2 months without a printer and a guaranteed amount of requests for help that go unanswered.But we shall see. Hopefully this time it will get resolved quickly and the review can be changed to the deserved 5 stars.

It’s easy set up it’s compact and very good value for money you can’t go wrong I do recommend the water washable 2.0 resin which will save you in the long run in buying detergent and you have a good colour range to choose from as well if your knew to this completely make sure you understand chitubox software and you will get the best from the Saturn but be aware in order to get good quality prints the resin has to be between 20-25 degrees constantly but before you do learn how to calibrate your machine it’s vital for good results happy printing

I started 3d printing back during COVID with a cheap £99 filament printer (which quite quickly died!). I then progressed to a proper filament printer and then to the Elegoo Mars (which I loved). I found myself wanting to print larger items and bought an Elegoo Saturn. This machine blew my mind. I ran both resin printers for just over 3 years before their screens died and it became too expensive to repair.A friend recommended the Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra and after watching a couple of reviews and doing a bit of reading, I took the plunge.I could not be happier. The machine is simple to level (and I have only done it once so far). The quality of the prints is simply superb and with its built in filter, the smell associated with resin printers is almost a thing of the past.The fact I can send prints via WiFi and not have to mess around with USB is also a good feature. (Just remember to delete your old files from the printer)All in all I can’t find fault with the machine. Good stuff. Keep it going Elegoo!

This is my first printer, very easy set up, initially had issues with prints not sticking to the base, but after a little research, problem solved.

Brilliant printer. Don't know what else I could say. Amazing piece of equipment from a to z.

I have been 3D printing for a couple of years and decided to expend out into resin printing. After considerable research I decided that Elegoo made the better printers at this price point and that this model was the best investment. I want to print medium size statues and miniatures for painting and this gave the bigger build volume. So far I have only produced three test prints and one small bust model (Rodin's The Thinker from the excellent Scan The World collection) and all the results have been excellent with no failures. I used the supplied levelling card and that has worked fine despite problems some people have had in the past. I use Elegoo's water washable resin and that has worked well.The only drawback I find is that the screen with the controls is very small and I have trouble seeing the buttons. I have already had one costly mistake where I pressed the wrong button resulting in a punctured fep and a resin leak. The problem is that the button graphics are inconsistent - in some places you press home to go back a level in the menu but I pressed home to go back at the wrong place and the printer started to home itself to the zero height position with the build plate angled for draining. Unfortunately there is no equivalent of octaprint available to provide controls from a PC screen which would have avoided this issue.
