The photopolymer Objet machine was £300/kg for build material. Tightening the M6 bolt had a soft feel like the thread was about to strip. But overall, this would make an amazing present to yourself or someone you know. May be a step more than the Mars though.

It is worth checking out lots of YouTube reviews before purchases, purely to get the terminology (fep, vat, resin, nitrile, IPA, build plate, etc). These physically giant machines were, back in their day, each over £120k new.

They were the size of a large desk and we had to check the floor was strong enough before installation. No stepping or patterns on the print. An amazing printer with a satisfyingly large build area.

Have been 3D printing for business since 2016 and have used several printers over that period, the elgoo saturn is a good price for a larger build volume and combined with something like Lychee slicer you can be printing quickly and cheaply with very little setup. To their credit elgoo offered to replace the damaged components and were extremely helpful with this issue.

Servicing? That’s an £8k outlay. The supplied key has the slicing software (needed to convert models to a saturn friendly format) and a test print model. When I first assembled the machine I had a problem with the build plate head, one of the threaded M6 holes which is used to pinch and lock the ball of the build plate was slightly oversize.

the results are that different! When running long prints I checked to see if there is any warmth from the machine. Purchased this to upgrade an old Anycubic Photon.
