ELEGOO Saturn 2 8K 3D Printer, MSLA UV Resin Printer with 10 inch Monochrome LCD, Air Purifier and Screen Protector, 219x123x250mm Larger Printing Size

Product Information

The Elegoo Saturn 2 is driven by a pair of linear rails along with a nice thick lead screw for a very sturdy build platform, which is necessary to produce detailed prints at such a high resolution. Following the trend of its smaller LCD counterparts, Saturn has two linear rails on its vertical axis to ensure that the build platform stays level throughout the printing process.

The smaller box is inside of the printer itself along with the build platform, which is placed inside a large block of foam. While cleaning my print, I was a little too eager with removing the supports and ended up breaking the hair and chipping the face, but otherwise the quality of the print turned out very good.

In recent years, Elegoo has established itself as one of the world's best-known LCD 3D printer manufacturers. Elegoo Mars Mate is an air filter with a built-in carbon filter that can effectively remove the unpleasant odor released when printing with resin, with up to 95% efficient purification for TVOC. Reworking of the UV light system leaves us with a capable 64 UV lights working in perfect tandem thanks to the use of a custom fresnel styled lens system - the same lens technology used for lighthouses. The air filtration system with an activated carbon filter can absorb most of the resin odor, creating an odor-free fresh printing environment. The hole will mostly help you out when washing and cleaning your model as most excess resin will leave the model as it is printed.

In addition to having a larger screen, it is also a significantly higher resolution then either of its two predecessors. Another feature that I’m really happy to see on this model is that the power switch that is on the rear of the Saturn S has now been replaced with a power button on the front of the Saturn 2, making it very convenient to turn on and off.During testing, I noticed that there was still a lingering resin odor that wasn’t completely eliminated. The display is additionally protected from impacts by a pre-installed, hardened (9H) protective film.

Whether it happens due to support structures that are unable to support the mass or any number of other things, you still will have a mess to clean up before you can print again. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.A recent example this is the trend towards water washable resins (of which Elegoo produce several types) as opposed to the need to work with 95% alcohol to wash the models and equipment after use. UV light transmittance ensures the right amount of UV to pass through for faster and more accurate curing 3D printed models, perfectly fit, and less release tension for easy to remove models.
