    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.

    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.

    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

    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
      @FauxHammer  Год назад +1

      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

    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.😊

      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.

    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
      @FauxHammer  Год назад +1

      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

  • @crysiscontained4421
    @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
      @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?

      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.

      Thanks, I did start by comparing minis to Warhammer, but it only served to talk people away from GW and that is not the intent, I love GW. The models I share now I want to showcase them as they are and build their support in their own right. The longer people compare to gw so directly, the longer I feel the 3D printer industry will be looked at as a GW rip off when it’s its own thing. So it’s personally something I want to get away from.
