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 huge build volume of this MSLA 3D printer enables the printing of detailed, large-format objects. 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. If you are having trouble with prints sticking to the platform or you notice a flat spot on your printed model after removing it, you may want to try re-leveling the platform. But during that time I turned to their extensive community online and received valuable help from them - another advantage of having such a popular model. The air filtration system with an activated carbon filter can absorb most of the resin odor, creating an odor-free fresh printing environment.

You will also want to verify that any stray resin did not get on the outside of the resin tray so that it doesn’t end up getting onto the LCD screen when placed back onto the printer, which could end up curing there. The air purifier can be operated with an activated carbon filter via the USB port, effectively filtering odours and vapours.

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 sandblasted build platform guarantees the highest possible adhesion of the print - the risk of detached, unfinished prints is minimised in this way.

Resin LCD printers reproduce 3D models by curing a single layer of resin onto the underside of a submerged build plate. It appears that the company has increased the exposure time with the latest test prints, so it takes a bit longer, but the model is less likely to be damaged. My workflow boils down to importing the STL model, orientating it to minimise the amount of supports required on the seen surfaces, adding the required supports and then exporting and printing.

The monochrome masking screen helps the printer to cure resins quickly without the loss of quality, putting the speeds up to 1-3 seconds per layer.

In addition to having a larger screen, it is also a significantly higher resolution then either of its two predecessors. the quality of the build is really good and looks great on the dining room table ;) The initial test prints can out superb and the level of detail on 10mm models is insane! You will also want to make sure you are wearing gloves to avoid directly contacting the resin with your skin. The size of the Elegoo Mars Mate ensures long-lasting and efficient purification and is made of durable ABS plastic. Please refer to the warranty policy below, as warranty periods and warranty rules differ according to the models and parts list.This part has a long service life, higher printing efficiency, more stable performance and less maintenance. The metal spatula is for helping to remove your prints from the build plate and you want to be careful while doing so, as it can potentially gouge or scuff the metal surface.
