This guy cannot answer the question we are all looking for. He doesn’t even try to help us out. This video is a time waster.

Hello, Please check my emails. 🤐

Such unfortunate timing for this video lol great video though!

man, If i could buy a different plate for Saturn 4 ultra, I would go for that one. Cant believe they went with this one in production; I can't think of a worse design

Is the slicer cloud based or once you buy the machine you can use it with out contacting the mother ship? ( Except for resin of course)

Hey folks.. tiny error.. I was very late when I checked the maths so the FINAL FINAL scores are S4U 12, GK2 15, HGRS 16 and ACM7 17. The conclusion isn’t affected it’s still inconclusive but apologies for the error!!!

I've heard horrible things about the M7 Pro and only good things about Saturn 4 Ultra

Solid video!! Gotta say, I've owned the Saturn 4 Ultra for a little over a month now, and the build plate hasnt been a *huge* issue. I got a small rubber squeegee that i use to wipe the resin off the top of the plate before removing it, and give everything a little while to drip before i take the plate off. Obvs YMMV and if you're in a hurry to get prints off the plate, this strategy doesn't work as well 😂 but by and large I just use the bib on the bench next to the printer as place to rest the plate when it's not attached to the machine

I've said it on other channels/reviews, and i'll keep saying it as long as they maintain the practice. As long as heygears keeps their system locked down they've automatically taken themselves out of the running, and it has nothing to do with how good the machine itself is or isn't. I know i'm not alone there either, all they'd have to do is allow access to the full suite of settings in their slicer in user addable custom resin profiles and leave everything else alone. I can almost garauntee i'd just buy their resin and use their profiles just to eliminate the extra steps and make my life easier, but as long as its a closed ecosystem i will never even consider one of their machines just on the principle of it.

Great video. Now we need one for resin comparison, including water based.

Well done. Maybe add couple more grading criteria or weight the final score by the importance of criteria to you.

Hahaha yep, agreed, the the Saturn is the best, even if the stars don't reflect it. slap on their $30 heater and its still the cheapest too. My one issue with it, its the "auto leveling build plate" Can I have my old one back? I feel like this causes layer shift in larger models. Not sure if you'd be willing, but I'd love to send you a model I've been printing on it with no success, and see if you have success.

The GK2 gets a higher score on the model, but has a warped model base (clearly visible in the footage). How did that model score higher? I dont think the gk2 comes with the wifi anymore either. And wouldn't the tilting vat on the S4U, which allows less supports or thinner supports, make the final model better? As it'll have less pitting and scarring after removal of supports?

Cool video, and a useful overview. I'll strongly consider the saturn now. If I could make a suggestion, I think your scoring matrix could use some work, maybe some weighting. Great conclusions though. Thanks for the video!

the grey pieces at the sides, that have a 90° and are back to back: did they just fit for you, or did you use some trickery? im building the model rn, and for me they have a gap in the middle, because they push each other off.

This was so helpful! Thank ya

Wait, I don't see the link to Plasmo?

If you think this is impressive. The 9 who work at Windsor newton who make series 7 brushes can distinguish grades of sable hair by eye and feel. To the goddamn millimetre. Which is an absolute insane level of talent.

Ive brought the mono 4k... and i reeeeeeeally wanna smash it ! I cannot get the files to work on the machine. Ive yploaded, deleted. Changed the file types, downloaded other apps, searched youtube, searched online and i still cannot get the bloody thing to print ! I save it as pwma... obj... stl... all sorts dont know what im doing wrong

Yeah, the whole needing to make setting up, monitoring and coaxing the expensive tool to do its' job a hobby in itself that will take time from my painting

Just wanted to pass on a tip someone once gave me about lychee and “fixing” files. Don’t. 😂 The best way is to import the file into MS 3D Builder, fix and export as STL then import to lychee. Bloody great tip about Blueprint though. Going to try that tonight.

This blew my mind and is a potential game changer

Ahhh you missed a golden line…”recently things have become too…..>stuffy<“ 😂😁

Your voice sounds like some sort of SAS commando from CoD. Just voicing my inner thoughts for the algorithm, enjoy

I mainly print Blood Bowl and one of the Patreons I sign up to makes really nice models but the presupports are terrible, so I usually just support them myself. I'd like to think Ive got pretty good at it as I very rarely have any fails. I'm going to have a look at the Heygears programme as I've found Chitu and Lychee Autosupports to be pretty useless. Maybe this programme will be better and faster.

Can i use this method with FDM printing? It look awesome.

My only issue with having to lean in on autosupports is because far too many providers unfortunately don't really provide any pre-supported files for 75mm or even 150mm scales, although I have noticed this has been changing over the past six months.

Uh...they have a cheaper/no-fluff version without the heater or pump. The M7. 'Pro' is for the accessory version.

You can make your auto supports peal off easily and don't create any pock marks by using light supports, and then manually add medium/heavy supports in places that carry most of the model's weight while printing. I only use Lychee to support my models, because it comes with a function to check for (still) unsupported islands and place additional supports there. Before Lychee, I used Prusa slicer to orient and support the model and exported the supported model as STL.

Hmm, I wonder if even more failures can be eliminated by using the HeyGears resin in the 3rd party printer since the autosupport profiles in Blueprint are defined by the resin you tell it you're using when you start the project. I guess I'll test that since my RS is turning out to be a dud and I have open bottles of HeyGears resin I can calibrate on an Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra.

Can you use Blueprint with a elegoo Saturn 4 ultra?

I will take a look, the leg assembly of my latest model took 3 hours to support. Yeh, my stuff is pretty good but still very much under wraps.

Can I use this software if I don't own heygear printer

"how do they know? they are professionals"... not a great answer lol. Now there are some problems with auto supports mostly its either bad placements or islands that never got recognized by the algorithm.

I tried to sign up to your newsletter and the webpage is blank, is the link viable? Thanks

Wait so, in theory, if i take blueprint, and export an stl after auto supporting.... i can print that on a non heygears printer? Withh all the "autosupport" benefits? Or do they only "peel off so easy" because of the heygears resistance checking and monitoring features???

Not every printer is built the same....for instance my M3 max is 5x better than all my Elegoo printers....and i use less supports than ever on it as opposed to my Elegoo which require more support because of the lack of understanding of how technology in 3d printing can work better and function much better...

Nice I will have to check it out :-) I have been using Chitubox and honestly it is great I just made my base layers a bit heavy to make sure it sticks and have a good clustic of very thin light supports. But I will have to check this out :-)

I would love to see them add multiple build plates to their software, like how Bambu/Orca slicer does. That way I can load in a whole project, have it laid on on multiple build plates, then just work my way through one at a time. It is SO much easier to keep track of that way on my Bambu printers.

Well done. Appreciate your effort on this subject. I use the auto support function on my RS and have had one failed print. Prior to printing, I looked at supported item and knew a support should of been added but said lets see what happens. Print failed. Tried again with auto support once again area was not supported so I just added a manual support and no issues. So now when I use auto support I verify supports and if in doubt I manually add supports.

Not wanting to support models myself is a huge reason why my motivation to print has diminished in the last months. It can take me around an hour to support a model, especially when they come in multiple parts. I have so many stls but no motivation to support them all. I'll definitely check out the auto support feature.

New to 3d resin printing. Your video is super helpful. Just recieved my Reflex RS and will start printing soon. Thanks keep up the good work.
