I went with the 8k almost purely because of the form factor. My print area is quite limited so the smaller footprint was appealing to me. Both printers seem more than sufficient for the average user, which is nice.

@FauxHammer Год назад

great decision making and a fantastic printer!

@regg151 Год назад

I've been trying to decide for the last few weeks what printer to purchase, I've been looking at all the price points as well as the different sizes I was between the mars 3 pro and a saturn S for a bit until I looked into the Saturn 8k, for the difference in price it ticks all of my boxes. After seeing the difference in print quality side by side the 8K is all I really need for printing minis with the occasional bust. Appreciate the effort that goes into making these videos it really helps to explain all the little differences that aren't apparent to someone who is not so well versed in the world of resin printing. Much thanks to you for taking the time out to educate and inform.

@FauxHammer Год назад

Thanks, I’m so happy this helped you.

@TysonPJ Год назад

You have gone through the same process as I have and landed on the same printer.

@mbshaker Год назад

Thanks FauxHammer for this amazing review. Due to your expertise, I just bought a Saturn 8K with the Mercury X Wash and Cure Station. Saving 160 Euro, having a faster print speed and almost the same results in printed objects are good reasons for me to follow your suggestion. I already have a Mars 3 Pro and I am verry happy with this machine. Not even a single failed print so far. But the limited built size is sometimes a bigger drawback than I had expected. So thanks again for your your time and effort making this and your other videos! They were extremly helpfull. Greetings from Germany Marco

@Dimplepig Год назад

I was going to go for the 8k until you mentioned that support for the 2 was going to be better due to increased user base. 100$ more for peace of mind that someone can help me with my issues is worth it.

@FauxHammer Год назад

Yeah, that’s important

@vlogfuji Год назад

Thank you for this very interesting validation. Can't wait to see the validation!😃 I am using Mars 3Pro and just recently purchased an additional Saturn 8K. I did not go with the Saturn 2 because I did not want the height of the Z axis. I just needed a larger build plate than the Mars 3Pro so I went with the Saturn 8K which is more compact than the Saturn 2. Both the Mars 3Pro and Saturn 8K print well and I like them very much.😊

@FauxHammer Год назад

Glad it was helpful! hope it lived up to your expectation. Both printers are incredibly good printers. and I'm glad you made the right choice for you.

@vlogfuji Год назад

@@FauxHammer Yes, Saturn 2 or Saturn 8k, I was very curious about the difference in the LCD lights as you also mentioned in the video. I was using Mars 3Pro first, so is Saturn 2 newer and better than Saturn 8K same as Mars 3Pro's LCD light system? and I was really curious that. But my #1 goal was the build plate size and the price was also more reasonable for the Saturn 8K. And your comment in your previous video like Saturn 8K is a hidden gem encouraged me.😁 As a result I made a great decision with Saturn 8K. It matches my purpose. And you also mentioned in this verification video that Saturn 8K's lights might be powerful.... I also feel that Saturn 8K has very powerful lights compared to Mars 3Pro. Therefore, the exposure time is completely different between Mars 3Pro and Saturn 8K for the same print. (This is based on my own test prints). Your validation this time was also very good! I love your videos because they are so easy to follow. Thank you for all your wonderful videos.😃 P.S Then Elegoo's customer service/technical support is very helpful and courteous and I am impressed. I bought the Mars 3Pro and then another Elegoo printer because of my experience with the Mars 3Pro and my interactions with Elegoo.

@michaeleger3953 Год назад

Thanks for the genuinely helpful and honest review. I’ve been waiting for this to help me decide which printer to upgrade to for my 3D printing business. I would like to see a video where you show some common print quality issues and how to resolve them. For example sometimes my prints have very fine parallel lines on straight objects and I’d love to know how to stop it happening. You just gained a new subscriber.

@FauxHammer Год назад

Thanks so much. Ok. Added to my list. That issue specifically can happen dude to excess pressure from the removal from the build plate which can cause the plate or FEP to slightly shift. Can be if the component is very large or not hollowed. But there are a few other potential causes. If your lift height is too low, that can also cause if if a layer does not fully unstick from the fep

@Londubh Год назад

Are those printed lines on straight lines printed at an angle (e.g. at 45° to the build plate)? If so, there's an answer to be to be had in trig

Update - my first print failed miserable y and didn't stick to the build plate. After scratching up the plate a bit it now sticks but having a few failed prints here and there - al a learning curve I guess.

Are you using the settings I used in this vid? If they don’t work. Then the most likely issue is that your room temperature is too low. Or your bed isn’t levelled correctly.

Or both

@frankjones9839 Год назад

@@FauxHammer Thanks for the input - so after a bit of research I realised that the elegoo water washable resin I was using needs longer exposure time. According to Elegoo 3.5 seconds and not the pre set 2.5. but after running the same test plates you have I have dialled it down to 2.8 and have just got the best set of results so far so may just have cracked it!

@Hooverdreng Год назад

Nice video! For those curious, a fresnel works just like a normal lens in that it either focuses or collimates (makes parallel) light. The upside to a fresnel lens is that it is much thinner than a normal lens of the same focal length. The downside is some diffraction that doesn’t matter much in this case.

@FauxHammer Год назад

defraction?

@Hooverdreng Год назад

@@FauxHammer basically a small part of the light is spread out rather than being made parallel. Due to the limitations of the fresnel pattern. This limits the imaging quality of fresnel lenses. But it doesn’t really matter here.

Also, I would like to see reviews of what painted models look like when printed on different printers. A painter's reference answer to the printer's wolverine bust. I've searched all over for PAINTED model reviews so I can compare the output in regards to what I'll be doing with it. And so far you come the closest, but please do at least a segment like this when you review new printers. And please do a video reviewing painting a standard model a standard scheme for all your currently reviews printers. Please and thank you!

I just picked up a Saturn 8K coming from the Mars 3 Pro and using the same resin Onepeng grey (nice and cheap on Amazon) and I had to add .8 seconds to my exposure times compared to the Mars 3 pro. Is this the difference in light sources, machine size or a combination of the two? I really liked the mars 3 pro and love the build size of the Saturn but I may just switch to a newer model if its only the light source. Appreciate your hard work and I enjoy the videos!

@FauxHammer Год назад

It is probably the light source, but in my case I found the Saturn 8k faster than the 3

Im curious, is it worth buying Returned 3d printers? I saw that elegoo sells them for something like 50% off, on their brand new saturns to boot. But not sure if its worth it if it breaks in 6 months, especially the lcd screen (which are one of the biggest maintenance costs of resin printers)

@FauxHammer Год назад

You need to make that call for yourself, it’s gambling really, if they are refurbished they could be anywhere from amazing to a lemon. I wouldn’t take the gamble but you could easily end up being the person who saved 50% on an all but brand new printer

Nope they are different sizes. Though in practise, neither are better. Resin still runs down the edge and underneath. There was only 1 Preminger I’ve ever seen which had a better method of pouring by having the spout sit well proud of the bat edge, can’t remember which one it was though, it was an Anycubic Something

13:20 teeth are cleaner and eyes are smoother. So the '2 does 'smooth' better while grainy details are about the same. The leather on the left also seems actual smooth while the right has sharper lines it seems... though overall i say thats nitpicking on the highest level. The printers are currently 90€ apart in Europe and only the Saturn S seems significantly cheaper (with 200€ to the '2)

Thanks for a great comparison! If you don't mind, could you tell us your measurement for each, in total height from the table surface required to lift the cover off? I have a shelf above my print table that I'm trying to work with. 😉

@FauxHammer Год назад

Thanks, it’s a hard question to answer. If you are printing small things then nothing gets in the way of the lid as you lift it and angle it away from the printer. So I dunno, 20cm above the units height. But if you have a large print you probably need the z-axis build height on top of the units height for full clearance of the plate

@tek9058 Год назад

I think something is wrong. You should up the exposure till you can print the bottom lines to match the support tip thickness in real prints, usually it's ok if the last 2 lines don't print. the validation matrix is the worst test anyway - supports go along the z-axis not x-y. there is also a thicker version which prints perfeclty, compression issues? best is to support a mini with tips of 0.15 and 0.25, make both print by increasing exposure, then compare details if you should stick to bigger support tips and less exposure or longer exposure and thinner tips, or a combo in between. i like esun pla pro resin for this, very hard tips, you can go crazy thin and even with 1 sec overexposure it will lose no visible detail. hard + thin supports snap of without damage but big ones need tools. but its slow curing, ~4sec to 4.4sec

@FauxHammer Год назад

I’m not trying to expose here to print a model, I’m exposing the validation matrix to compare the printers, for that specific task. This XP test is fine, in fact, it’s perfect

@dakershaffer_blitz Год назад

I was wondering why the first Saturn 2 print wasn't as shiny as the other, until you later said that you turned antialiasing on for it; the difference in the sharpness of the plate armor pieces was quite noticeable, though. FWIW, from watching repair videos, it looks like the fresnel lens would be ~easy to remove (though a number of bolts!); I think it would be interesting to know if it can print ~1.7x as fast as the 8k without it then!.

@FauxHammer Год назад

why would you want to remove the fresnel lens? this imprroves the sharpness in my opinion.

@@dakershaffer_blitz no, sorry, that wasn’t the point I was making. I was stating that when you have a balanced exposure, it is slower in comparison. But this could also be due to different light intensity.

@crysiscontained4421 Год назад

I'm surprized that you got anything to print at .03 layer height on the S2 with 8k resin (which is 1.5x the specs) I had to lower mine all the way down to .013 to print anything if the vat wasn't full. If it's full I can do .02 (the room also stays at around 22 C) my exposure time is 3.6 all the other settings we use are identical, maybe it is humidity as I'm not sure how much my room has.

@FauxHammer Год назад

Wow that’s super high exposure times. This does take longer to expose than other resins because it has more of the flexible stuff in it (dunno how resin is made, but the more bendy stuff takes longer) but 3.6 at .02 sounds insane! I was gonna say it’s probably lift and and speeds but you said you matched mine I dunno how much humidity affects prints, I don’t know what my room is either. Typical Uk humidity I guess. I wonder if there’s something up with the screen or the light array?
