Elegoo is holding a Spring Sale which includes some big discounts on nearly all of their printers. The sale that jumped out at me was the Saturn S which is currently 40% off with free shipping. I purchased the Mars 2 Pro on a previous Slickdeal and it has worked flawlessly, but for me, the build volume of the Mars 2 is limiting. Now I have to decide on the Saturn S or the Saturn 2 8K which is also on sale for $489.00 down from $600 or go really big with the Jupiter at the lowest price I've seen at $849.99.

Additional $10 off coupon code ELEGOO3D brings it down to $289.99

As an owner of many resin printers and having worked professionally in the space for a while, Elegoo printer design is flawed. I own a Saturn and I can't recommend it. The two set screws that lock the plate in place to keep it level are insufficient. over time they degrade and the printer requires constant releveling every print. They should copy the more rigid anycubic (or peopoly or any other brand printer I own) 4 screw solution to lock in the build-plate level. Until then, for this reason mostly (and some firmware upgrade issues that suck) I do not recommend Elegoo resin printers. Better options for the same price range.

I wouldn't bother with the Saturn S for $290. The deal I posted for the FlashForge 8.9in 4k is only slightly less build volume (192x120x200), but it's nearly half the price for $169: https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/807772

UPDATE: I just posted this DEAL FOR RESIN. Get it while it's cheap!

It really depends on what you intend to use the printer for and the size of objects you need to produce. You really can't go wrong with any of these printers. Since you don't have experience with resin printers, I would suggest you get the cheapest yet highest quality printer. There is a specific workflow associated with resin printing that you may not like. Unlike FDM (filament) printing, resin printing can be messy and potentially hazardous.

I'm looking to start at these for resin printers.

How about AnyCubic:

I can't tell the difference between Flash Forge, Elegoo or AnyCubic. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply. I'm mainly looking to 3D print resin gaming miniatures with pre-supported STL files from places like Artisan Guild / Loot Studios / etc.

I've been watching the videos and understand the messy/toxic portions of it, but know resin is where it's at for gaming/D&D style miniatures.

Looking at the other Flashforge thread, I was concerned with "slicing" as I do not know what that means yet. I was hoping I could just download a file and get to printing/cleaning/etc. As these are miniatures to be hand painted, quality of the cast is the most important to me.

If you are buying models that are pre-supported. Do not worry, per se about "slicing". Slicing is the general term for setting up a model to-be printed.

Your slicer software, whether it's Lychee, Chitubox, etc will load a model up (usually STL file type) and you tell the software what printer you are using so it can correctly calculate and code how the model will print. If the model is by itself you would use this software to then add supports and then "slice" it. Which means generate the final file your particular printer needs. In the case of that Flashforge printer, it could be SVGX or FDG filetype. If your model already has supports, you load it into the slicer and then directly go to the output slice options - presuming you have your printer profile already set for the type of resin you will be using.

Here is a starting point [youtube.com]. Keep in mind, while there is value in showing the differences between slicing software, not all of them have profiles for whatever printer you are using. The real benefit of that video is showing you the process of what slicing is and what it entails.

Thanks again! I just bought the Flashforge 8.9 from your other post. Wish me luck!

This is the resin printer I want really bad but can't swing it just now. I had a mars but I was an idiot and left resin in the tank and it leaked. Entirely my negligence. This size up would be great and Elegoo makes a high quality project. If anyone is looking and willing to pay up this is the printer you want. Unless you need an absurdly large one and if so you probably aren't considering this anyway.

The bigger the printer the more waste/trouble you have when a print fails. Also, when you have to replace wear-out parts it costs considerably more.

Big dogs eat more than small dogs. It's all scale and depends on what you are trying to print. You can print considerably more small items at once as well.
