About this item
- 【10" 8K Monochrome LCD】ELEGOO Saturn 2 Resin 3D Printer adopts a 10-inch 8K mono LCD screen with an HD resolution of 7680x4320 and an ultra-fine XY resolution of 28.5 microns, outputting outstandingly detailed 3D models with a cure time of only 1-3s per layer. The scratch-resistant tempered glass above the LCD screen with 9H hardness for better light transmission and protection.
- 【43% Larger Printing Volume】With a build volume of 219x123x250mm / 8.62x4.84x9.84 inch and a 10” large mono LCD screen make the prototype size larger and the curing efficiency higher, you can print one larger model or multiple smaller models in a single batch.
- 【Fresnel Collimating Light Source】Fresnel collimating light source consists of 48 highly integrated UV LED lights that work with free-form surface COB lens and FCL system Fresnel lens to emit a uniform light beam of 405nm wavelength with 92% light uniformity, excellent printing accuracy, and a more smooth surface finish.
- 【Reliable Printing Performance】The Z-axis is designed with dual linear rails and non-slip hexagon socket leveling screws for ultra-steady & accurate movement and remarkable printing performance. The sandblasted surface build plate provides much stronger adherence, and PFA release liner with easier model removal and less release tension.
- 【Odor-free Printing Environment】The filtration system with an activated carbon filter can absorb most of the resin odor, creating an odor-free fresh printing environment. Double heat-conducting copper heat tubes with faster heat transfer and better heat dissipation efficiency prolong the service life of 3D printers.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Initial thoughts: came well packages in pristine condition, shiny clean screen. Since I was already partially experienced from my last printer the setup took about 10 minutes from opening the box and being ready to print. The instructions were clear and it came with a leveling paper and some other parts (scraper, gloves, funnel, etc.).
For about the first week I was doing 8-10 hours of printing per day across 3-4 prints. My routine was to print, pull off build plate(something I could not do on my old printer without a relevel) scrape off prints, put build plate back and repeat. The most major issue I encountered with printing was prints sticking too well to the build plate and needed to be pounded off(I solved this later).
Broken Screen!: after my initial few days printing I had a misprint. My print failed and had to be scraped from the build plate, I also had to scrape loose scraps out of the vat. After setting the build plate back to home it started grinding, I stopped the motor as fast as I could but it was too late. The build plate pushed something through the FEP, through the polarizer on the screen, and possibly into the actual screen itself.
I promptly emptied my vat and replaced the FEP with some I had from before, then I contacted support. I sent an email over and in less than 24 hours I had a reply asking for pictures and a model number, after a few quick and easy email I was informed that they would send out an entirely new screen to replace the one that broke.
Overall: I am extremely impressed with the build quality and precision, outside a 1 rough equivalent (that takes months and hundreds of $ to ship) this is the best resin printer that I've seen for under about 2,000$. After getting settings dialed in and trying 2-3 different resins, I settled on Elegoo's own gray resin. I found that after choosing the profile for the Saturn in Chitubox and using a 20-24s bottom layer exposure and 3s normal layer exposure I am able to get flawless prints at least 95% of the time, assuming I actually build supports correctly. With these settings I am also able to remove models from the build plate much more easily.

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024
I'm finding following PROS of this printer:
- Faster than competitors out of box without any tuning and preparations. Just get it and print faster than competitor
- Precise time estimation in chitubox. it prints roughly the same time that you see in chitubox. No huge underestimations detected by me
- Overall good user experience with printing, cleaning, interacting. Might be better though. There is a room for user experience improvement.
For more impressions read below.
I have Anycubic M5S to compare, so my highlights based on comparison of Saturn 3 Ultra with Anycubic M5S.
Below you'll find items that I like more in Saturn 3 Ultra rather than M5S having both on my table.
My impression about build quality - solid build and overall good engineering.
- It looks gorgeous. I keep it in enclosure box without top lid, but anyway, very nice look.
- Solid metal body has handy side effect for me. I can stick something magnetic to it. In my case, it's chitu heater. Top surface where screen located is plastic
- Handy resin VAT. It has handles instead of cavities (like on Anycubic). Handles allow you hold VAT much easier/stronger and that means less spills and overall less mess. Absence of cavities means that there is no resin in cavities. Less time to clean the VAT
- Touch screen with good resolution and response. Good UI overall.
- WiFi without pain. Just connect to your spot right from Saturn 3 Ultra screen (I didn't managed to have working WiFi on M5S). No flash required if you're using chitubox. Small, but very nice improvement for me
- Ball screw. This is something affiliated by Elegoo as faster and smoother movement over the lead screw. That's exactly it. When you manually manipulating Z-axis it moves faster and smoother than Anycubic M5S. I can clearly see that by my eyes. And have suspicion that this reflects on print times.
- Build plate surface. It more resistant to scratches, has two ribs in mount profile which keep plate in place (in the same place) when you releasing or tightening fixing nut at the top.
- USB charcoal filter. Well, it's roughly has x3 bigger filter area than Anycubic and you have one in a box. Somebody could say "who cares, it's a toy" and probably will be right, but it's there for free and it has bigger filter surface. One drawback: it runs only when print starts. You can't have it running if you're not printing. So, enclosure post filtering is not possible with it.
Now, about speed.
Measurement been taken on stock profiles of Siraya Tech Emerald Blu for M5S and Saturn3 Ultra.
Those profiles have different speed settings. 240 mm/min lift&retract for M5S and 320 mm/min for Saturn 3 Ultra. Which is big difference. Maybe for a good reason maybe not.
Ameralabs exposure test in original size (~15mm tall). Conjure Rigid resin with Siraya tech Emerald Blu V2 stock profile for Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra.
Chitubox estimated time as 52 min print. Actual time taken - 47 min.
The same model with the same resin but with Emerald Blu V2 profile for Anycubic M5s takes ~1h15m (01:14:55 or something like 01:14:5X). Сhitubox can't estimate precisely or even close. Usually, actual print time is x1.5 or more from chitubox estimate.
Photon workshop gives precise estimations (which are ~ x1.5 bigger than chitubox), but I can't get used to it.
Well, that's 28 min difference on a print 15mm tall on stock profiles. Guess, promised 100-150mm per hour not achievable on resin with high viscosity, but Saturn 3 Ultra clearly faster than M5S out of box without any profile tuning or preparations.
Print quality
No surprise here. It's good. On par with M5S when you're looking on printed model with your eyes. I'm more functional prints guy rather than miniatures, so the only high-detail prints I see is calibration tests. And results look pretty much the same for my eyes.
Now, some drawbacks that I've noticed:
- You have update over wifi option in UI but it does not work (says that feature does not supported). Guess, they will add this in future firmware releases but at the moment of writing with 1.4.3 firmware it does not work.
- Elegoo fans producing more noise than Anycubic. It's hard for me to say whether it louder or just more unpleasant frequencies, but difference noticeable. Honestly, I don't care much about this since it sits in enclosure.
- Screen might be hard/not comfortable to read. Depends on how good your eyesight. I wish it could be bigger and/or easier to read.
- 4 stars "for beginners" because Anycubic autoleveling and pressure sensing that detects failed prints is hard to beat.
