Definitely just place the objects on a raft of small supports to avoid the bottom of model breaking when attempting removal. You can still keep it level but just elevate the model 4mm off the build surface then place supports as a raft. You can also try lowering the bottom layer exposure time to allow easier model removal, but you may then get more inadvertent print failures from the suction forces.
Thanks for the great suggestion. The bottom supports work great. I also noticed that if I do auto-supports it will automatically add supports to the bottom. Thanks for the advice!
@ also. I have added the Ultra to my table of printers! I haven’t printed with it yet, but can’t wait to see how it stacks up against my DLP machines! Keep printing!
Salve, video eccellente , devo acquistare una nuova stampante dopo aver venduto la mia Elegoo mars2 pro e avevo puntato la saturn 4 ultra per avere un piatto di stampa piu' grande......ma e' da un mese e piu' che non riesco a decidere se ne vale veramente la pena prendere questa prima versione o aspettare la prossima sperando in qualche miglioramento di base. Oppure puntare altrove? puoi darmi un consiglio?grazie
It continuously gets better with over-the-air updates, so even if you get it now, updating the firmware will ensure you get the latest enhancements and improvement. If you have the money, I would recommend it. I dont think the hardware and configuration will change and any enhancement will be made on the next version of the 3D printer - the Saturn 5. 😀
Which options were you looking for? Always looking for suggestions and feedback that I can send back to Elegoo and manufacturers when I review their products.
@@3uilDStudio not sure why, - but my last comment has disappeared, - will write again (even a bit more) and will print screen it. Dont get me wrong, hardware is very nice and it prints fast and I do enjoy the printer, But if for someone wifi is essential please read below. No magic, - Wifi is limited to LAN, you must be at the printer site to use the same wifi or use additional remote desktop software to connect to the computer which is in the same LAN as printer. Most annoying thing, - Wifi options are Limited to Chitubox slicer ONLY, - and yes, you can use it in Free Chitubuox version, HOWEVER, if wifi transferred .ctb or .goo file was created by any other slicer (for example Lychee) it will not print, it will start print, but will stop while burning the first layer with "incompatible file" message. It is Most annoying!!! As User literally Must Slice and save/transfer the final file using Chitubox. So if someone paid for any other slicer previously, - he will be made to enjoy using at least 2 slicer apps or ditch the paid one and pay for Chitubox... Beautiful... Further more, Chitubox will not provide full spectrum of wifi usage options, only basics, - Upload/Delete print file, Start/Pause/Stop and Download the timelapse (funny, not essential, but you cannot manually delete any timelapse files, as Elegoo support advised, it deletes automatically after 20 files threshold is reached, or, read carefully, you need to format and factory reset the printer (later enter wifi passwords and etc). There are no options to check the temperature or move buildplate (up/down) via wifi. So if your printer is far and once job is finished and all droplets fell, you want to move it to the top and come pick up the model, - you will not be able to do it remotely. And yes, you can watch how print goes via wifi camera, but if you print small parts, - you will see the buildplate in/under the resin most of the time :). I print larger items, - so camera becomes handy after few hours of print to check if any supports have collapsed and stop the print if needed (And no, AI camera has never stopped a failed print for me, not sure what "AI" does at all, just and advert, like it was with "Quantum" almost a century ago.). To finalise, if wifi is the selling point for you, - maybe ... maybe... think again... Also, be prepared to be chained to the Chitubox The rest is very SOLID, and Elegoo support comes back quite fast via email or redit, - without asking of your purchase invoice number and etc (I had no broken/malfunctional parts, only the software issues I described above).
Funny, just 5min after my LONG comment, - Lychee released new version which does HAVE wifi support for S4U. Not tested yet, - so my comment above (which does not yet show up), may be irrelevant, at least for Lychee users... I Will test this evening once I am back home
por que elegoo no tiene los settings de sus resinas en un archivo para importarlo a chitubox? tanta tecnologia pero hay que cargar parametros manual mente
Purchase using the following link:
elegoo.sjv.io/4PZOXG
the dragon would have probably have been more stable if you use supports to print it. just try that out once
Will do. I also made it bigger in my second attempt and that turned out much better

Great review, and awesome blue resin. Really cool.
Thanks. I love the way everything turned out with the crystal blue resin!

Thank you for the video
Printer ir quite nice, but WiFi options are Very Limited

I was just thinking that as well, but for other manufacturers resins.
