11:50 - If the Elegoo rook is offset from the center when curing, the bottom will be cured as well. There's a UV light strip on the bottom, but it doesn't reach all the way to the center of the rotating platen.
Sorry to see your Batman go a-tumble. Might I suggest you try the Sunlu ABS-like? I use it as standard on my Saturn 3 Ultra, and it rarely fails. But more importantly, it's rock hard, and even falls like that will survive. When my current machine finally dies, I will be looking at the Saturn 4 Ultra. My only gripe is that vat looks like a bitch to clean.
I'll give that a crack when I run out of the standard (still got 5 bottles left on the shelf). I'll probably end up trying a few different brands and types until I find something that works super well. Cleaning the vat isn't too bad, the 2 pouring corners (spouts? Whatever ya wanna call them) make it pretty easy to empty compared to others that are just a basic shape, it's just big and heavy. I haven't had to change the film yet (even though the machine is calibrated to tell you to change it after 6000 layers as I have just found last night)
i just got a saturn 4 ultra a week ago - its my first ever printer. the vat is super easy to clean out imo but what i did do was put an hole in the PFA sheet thinking it was the shipping cover 😂 so i had to buy and replace the PFA and that was super easy too. all in all im super impressed how friendly to use this machine is.
I had a hole in my first printers FEP, didn't realise and had resin seep down on to the screen... don't recommend that! They're pretty easy to replace parts now which is great!
@@nerdvault_42 Well I find the light grey ABS is the go to. It does everything I need and is also one of the cheapest. It's also not smelly.A few things they still missed were a handle on the front, quick releases for vat and plate, and putting connectors in the right place. Also, the control screen is way too small. Those gripes aside, it was just that weird plate I found disconcerting, but if it improves quality, I'm OK with that.

Yeah, I'm not sure why I put it in the centre of the plate. Everything else I've cured since has been closer to the edge
Auto is the way to go
100% bro
I wonder if they left the terrible ai cam the way it is to update it later and fix it little by little. I hope so
It'd be nice if they do that, but I don't see why they'd use it as part of their marketing if it wasn't already working

@@brightdaygaming5692 Oh no! Those film sheets are expensive. A word of note, get a heater. I got a ton of fails before I got one.

The 3 Ultra has a bigger build volume 🤷🏻♂️
It's marginally bigger, I think the upgrades on the 4 make it a better buy over the 3 if you can afford it
Ouch!
Yep... easy come, easy go I guess hahaha
