Saturn 3 & Ultra Vs Anycubic M5 & M5s - 4 Printers - 1 CLEAR WINNER

Elegoo series are so bad than anycubic m5 series...

Very good comparison and I especially like that you point out that this 8K, 12K, 14K marketing blaablaa is ridiculous as the real pixel size counts for details. And it is always good to mention that the resin does have a great impact on your print quality just like the filament quality for FDM printer. Thanks for the video.

I ended up with a free mars 4 max because it was damaged. it printed great for a couple weeks now im pretty sure the damage has caught up to it and i cant get a successful print at all. so here we are back to the drawing board. this is a really tough choice...or is it? are they both amazing and im lucky to be starting this hobby now instead of 5 years ago? idk what to do :(

feeding the algorithm, and also, thanks, I was looking for exactly this video, you sir, have won a subscriber <3

is the saturn 3 ultra able to print slow enough to use fep?

Excellent video, thank you. Definitely helped. I came into this about to pull the trigger on an M5S, but I have changed my mind. Speed is not crucial, for me.

Gotta throw your props for the Pitch Meeting reference. Its super easy, barely an inconvenience.

What about saturn 3 vs m5?

I just got the Mars 4 and did the test print… The printer displayed that it “finished” but the print was only about 90% done when I pulled it off the plate… Does the printer automatically set the height parameters for a print from the file or could I possibly have a unintentional height limit set on the machine??

Sorry if my question doesn’t make sense, I have only been doing this for 1 day 😅

Just in case, did you keep in mind the fact that Anycubic Mono X needed higher height test cause the initial over exposure? I wonder if that bug remains, if that's the case you'll need to redo some tests, even the RERF that comes with it suffers from that so theres a custom one, it's just thicker. Anyway it's a very informative video, super complete, thanks messenger!! ;)

i feel like the mars air thing would be good if it was water proof and can be ran out a window or onto a balcony or something like that so it can pump air out side

Bought a Sarurn 3 ultra. Using castable purple resin from 2 manufacturers. DOESN'T HARDEN ANY RESIN AT ALL.! Seem with these printers there is no customer service. You're basically on your own. Take 2 weeks to get any response to email only. I feel like I bought a 600 dollar paper weight. I could go through to weeks of setting and print trails. But it literally will not harden resin at all. I'm at a loss! Wish there was a 800 number for help!

i reaaaally needed this video, thanks

So for someone who only wants to print out mini's for TTRPG's at the highest quality, would you say I'd be better with a Mars 4 Ultra?

As I watched this video through. I am in the market for a resin printer a little backstory I am coming from fdm sovol sv06 Plus I was going to purchase a bamboo Labs p1s or X1. However I would really like to make statues that I paint like those of Epic statues what are the trade-offs of getting the larger resin printers? I would like to be able to print a six to eight inch tall statue and I am willing to pay up to 1k for a quality printer that can do that, any recommendations?

please tell me which one is better for jewelry and small details?

WOW get to the point already..

Does anyone here know if the Linant 3D base pro compares to the quality of these printers? I’m looking to print figurines

I ordered an M5S a few days ago and it is on its way...now I am having second thoughts and I am considering returning it for a refund and going for the Saturn 3/Ultra....I don't want to end up with buyers remorse months after the fact....

My Neptune 4 plus has been a nightmare. Stock files print great. Anything else is pretty well junk. Ive been waiting for over a week to get a response from customer service. Money wasted.

Smootg brain here. Comoaring 4 printers at once with slightly different names is really confusing.😅

This thing of the larger (deeper) vat.. Can you top up the resin in case you are printing a large model? Is the vat capacity a limiting factor on how large a model you can print?

very helpful, i was just at the stage you said at the start of the video, chose a printer, and could not decide between 3 and 3 ultra
but 3 ultra with PFA filter it is, thanks, keep up the good work

I, for one, will be skipping this entire generation of printers. I'm not interested in speed, I'm interested in quality. These seem designed solidly for print farms.

Hi Ross! Do you know what vat tanks are compatible with Saturn 3 ultra? Is Saturn 2 vat compatible to 3 ultra? Thank you!

Without doubt for 98% of the time this don't matter. But I build my hole life machines and can say a ballscrew drive is leading, the background is that the machine has no linear measurement system to correct the fault and backslash of a normal screwdrive. So if you want do mechanical stuff u will have higher accuracy

thanks for the video! helps a lot

Hi ! I have a question regarding M5s quality. If not printing in high speed, does it have great quality prints? There is an opportunity for me to upgrade from Mono X to M5S, and seeing your videos on the M5S I'm really not sure. Seems it is an upgrade but I may be buying something not that great if even slowing down it is not really that good. Thank you.

thanks for the review but really, your obsession with foot gripping was a distraction and a waste of your nitpicking time.

ok but is auto leveling and failure detection REALLy as needed as it is in fdms?

Resin printer channels seem to only know how to print demonic statues?! None seem to have any creativity for use of the printer.

Hi I am still researching what to buy as I am an N gauge railway modeller, and my son is a v keen Warhammer player/builder, so is also interested. He reccomeded your chjannel and it has been v helpful in educating me as to what I should buy. Please keep up the great content.

So if I buy your wargamer resin can I assume that I can use the print settings for the Saturn 2 for the Saturn 3 I just bought because there's no print settings for the Saturn 3 12k on your list

I've been bouncing back and fourth with my decision between the M5s and the Saturn 3 Ultra. Thank you for this review!

Excelente

Can you just swap the frosted film out for the clear?

Is NFEP and PFA the same thing?

ive been looking at sla printers since years i finally want to get me one... i def want a fast one...how do the mars4 compare to these when it comes to speed?

I have Anycubic M5s. Autoleveling is kewl. Prints are good. Feels super cheap. Software is garbage, essentially useless.

Can u tell me if saturn 3 ultra vat fits saturn 3 ?

Well you have answered my question, do I upgrade my Saturn 2 to an Ultra … no, I will be upgrading my Mars 2 to a 4, but changing the FEP. These fast printers are fine if you run a print business and are happy to produce average detailed prints, but the saving of an hour or so just isn’t worth the loss of detail for me. I buy designs like Brutefun miniatures for the detail they put in and I want those crisp lines. Thank you, though I’m not sure it will win you any favours with the manufacturers 😂

Just as an FYI, the Anycubic Photon M3 Premium has LRL. I know it's not compared here and I also know they are seemingly dropping support for the m3 premium (Can't find them anywhere) and both my original and replacement screens went out within 6 months of owning the thing.

Hi, just got my M5s and i use it for dental work ....it is automatic leveling BUT, mine is away about 1 mm from the screen...I thought this is normal but 1 out of 11 printing comes
how do I fix the leveling? or should i return it?
Thank you

Whats the expected life time of the 2 types of film? Any difference between the machines?

Let me get this right.... the M5s features of auto-level and print failure detection get over shadowed by the rubber feet on the Saturn?? The print quality is compared between machines using different resins completely even though you state that even the speed of the printer is determined by the resin and NOT the machine. Wouldn't the same be true about the printed item as well??

Very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks. Now I don't know what printer to buy. :D But maybe is should get the Saturn 3 Ultra. But I can't use you ref links since shareasale links get filtered by almost all privacy filters for a reason...

Torx in a hex head screw? Just like me. 😂
