    Haven't finished the video, but for the wifi, as someone who does tech support, there is a reason for that.
    External antenna has a better signal. Internal ones, especially in denser/thicker devices, like a printer, would cause a Faraday cage like effect. Essentially, it will turn your wifi into a mess of wifi issues.
    Internal antennae exist in mobile devices, but they are not idea. It's why if you have a device with internal ones, it would get worse signal than a device with external. Additionally mobile devices have minimal metal to prevent said Faraday cage. Printers tend to be metal.
    Basically, it's recommended to use external when able. On large, mostly stationery devices, the larger external ones are used.

      i liked the Mars 4 where they had this under the cover. just a tidier profile. but yeah, I do get more issues without external antennas. but in those cases, I'm not alone and it may be duye to stupid integration methods.

    With regards to the (not) included heater - I live in Australia and have recently received my Saturn 4.
    The problem is, daytime peak temperatures in my garage at the moment are around 16°, which is too cold for resin printing.
    The point is - it gets cold, no matter where in the world you live.
    Eagerly awaiting the release of the (pre-ordered) elegoo heater unit, in August (which is likely too late for winter this year)

    • @RisingApe
      @RisingApe  27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think when the printer is running the heat from the components would mean it was fine, but I take your point. I use a band heater when I need a boost but will pick up a heater in due course for sure

  • @Microarmor007
    @Microarmor007 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Im glad for the following 2 design choices over the current gen competition:
    1. No heater. I absolutely don't need one where I live. Temperatures have hit 50c on rare ocasion. If anything, I need a cooler.
    2. No pumps. I dont want extra crap to deal with regard to cleaning or failing on me.
    Per the potential problems you pointed out, there is still room for improvement in the keeping the thing clean area.
    Ive had a lot of failed prints on my Saturn 2 but the machinery has been solid. I'm hoping this or the S4 ultra are better with the auto zero and tilt vat. My Photon Mono 2 failed within 90 days of purchase with a failed motor / gear. It just makes noises instead of rotating the screw. Hopefully 3rd purchase is a charm.

    I live in Canada, we get some very cold winters, and while I understand the desire for built in heaters, I'd honestly rather see it as an optional add-on. It's just not something EVERYONE needs, depending on your setup, and where in the world you are. From a company stand point, putting in a feature that might be only used by a small percentage of the population makes it an unnecessary margin factor for the sales.

    • @RisingApe
      @RisingApe  27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Seeing the price point here too, I would rather they kept the cost down and then I can spend it later as needed.

    For someone who is looking to get his first 3-D printer, is he plate big enough for primarily printing minis for Star Wars Legion? Many on Reddit advise to just buy Saturn 3 for a bigger plate for future proofing.

    • @RisingApe
      @RisingApe  18 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      So my take on that is YES, I used a printer this size for years, and even printed a knight equivalent that stands 14” tall, it just takes a bit longer, you can print something like 6-10 troops on this on one plate in a few hours. It also takes up less room and costs $200 less. BUT having a bigger plate is useful if you use them a lot, so if you know that in the future you will be cranking out multiple armies/ larger pieces regularly then the Saturn is the better shout.

  • @TashiMortier
    @TashiMortier 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I'm so tempted to buy one haha but I'll wait for the sales. My Saturn 3 Ultra is still going strong and that's the same resolution as the Saturn 4 Ultra. It was such a beast to get it to work in the beginning and I'm a little sad that Elegoo just abandoned it with some menu options like the live update not working. (Which then now clearly is available on the Saturn 4 Ultra).
    Feels like last generation really was just some stopgap release for these ones... but I get decent minis out of it so I guess it's not the worst.

    • @RisingApe
      @RisingApe  27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeh that sucks but if the 3 isn’t broken don’t try to fix it. And you should look at the Saturn 4 rather than the Mars, going back to a small build plate will be too annoying

      @@RisingApe That is true, I can print a whole little army on one plate now. :D I was just thinking of getting the cheaper option to get that tilting plate and try it at a cheaper price. Just never having to dial in lift speeds again and only having to calibrate exposure time would be such a boon! :D

      I was in the same "wait for the sales" boat, but then I realized that a pre-order sale is a sale. Can get it now without waiting for some arbitrary permission to purchase it before a Christmas/New Year Sale.

    if the auto leveling is really just auto homing, do you need to level manually - if so how easy is it to level ?
    also changing FEP, usual Elegoo VAT with billions of screws ?

    I still don't get why so many of these printers put the power switch at the back. Now that I have my setup in a grow tent, it's a royal pain to turn on and off. Why can't they just put power and USB at the front?!!??! As for that price, the $269 USD is launch only, it'll be higher once the pre-order period has finished.
    I'm glad to see they've brought the tilting mechanism to the cheaper price range, but oof, that build plate is not that great of a setup.
