- The Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra is without doubt the most innovative Mars we've seen in 5 years of production. There's great ingenuity here... but did they get it right? Here I take an honest and balanced look at this exciting new 3D resin printer.

293$ isn't bad honestly. Cool to see so many features packed in to this, looking at the jumps consumer resin printers have made over the last couple years is awesome to witness.
There's a lot of innovation here, so I agree with you 😁
I’m hoping you’ll do your annual Best resin printers based on print volume!
As someone with an original Elegoo Saturn, the Saturn 4 Ultra has me quite tempted to upgrade.
While it still lacks a decent heater and the build plate seems like a nightmare to clean, pretty much everything else seems like a nice jump in specs.
I've certainly had my fair share of issues with my original Saturn, but even just going from 50 micron pixel resolution and 0.05 layer height to 20/.02 is a huge difference when it comes to post-processing, particularly when painting with acrylics. Acrylic primers and paints pick up even the finest details, which means needing to sand some pretty fine layer/pixel lines.
Hi, small tip for hiding layer lines. AK Xtreme Primer and Microfiller really digs into resin. 2 thin and one thicker layer and you don’t see the lines without killing details.
Hope that lychee gets network and camera control soon. I just can't wrap my head around Chitu box after using Lychee for the last few years.
Great Video ! ! !
I confess, I did all my supporting in Lychee and just used ChituBox for the actual slicing 🤪
@@vogman I auto support in lychee and export as well. But can’t we get an all in one solution !!! lol.
Great review VogMan, Thoroughly enjoyed it!
I'm playing about with these AA setting for the normal Saturn 4 review as I feel that one is unfortunately even more limited! due to .goo and it;s massive filesize! But. more testing to go!!!
Thanks buddy. You would think by now AA would be getting easier, not more awkward 😁
Great video as always. Have you had compression issues like the Saturn 4 Ultra? Mine started out fine but is now very compressed and been going back and forth with Elegoo to try to fix.
Excellent review Mr V. I do like this printer and I think the tilt plate is the future. No matter what slicer I've ever used, I always go back to Chitubox ✌️
That's what options are for good buddy. variety is good and if CBox works for you, stock with it. It's a lot better than it ever was 😁👍👍👍
I have a small time lapse of my print pealing off the build plate and the ai camera did not cause the print to stop. Lucky for me the other side of the print held on and the print did not fail but on the other side of the bed I did have a part in the resin vat and yet the ai camera did not catch it.
awesome..
So, no usb entrance for air filter.. hmm... I guess I'll end up making a hole on the wall of my apartment office room and install a exaustor there lmao..
A question that I have about the auto leveling features of the mars 5 ultra and saturn 4 ultra: can you manually calibrate anything if necessary? I usually calibrate my z index.. to remove elephant feet and to ensure that a 1mm thick piece printed directly on the build plate is actually 1mm. if the auto leveling already does that perfectly, awesome, but I got curious.
Plus.. cleaning the build plate when changing resins seems to be.. ackward due to those rods.. but manageable, not too big.
My first question for any 3D printer, what slicers work with it?
Where is the Dredd bust from?
My Mars 3 Pro prints bad... 6 months old, no support, no help. Ordered from elegoo homepage 👍
Wow second - never had that at all! 😊
😁😁😁
@vogman, i am waiting for the next DLP printer, you reckon they'll release one after the Photon D2 and the Mars 3 DLP? Any rumours?
I've heard nothing...
@@vogman much appreciated, sad my photon d2 has served me well and it's time for an upgrade. Don't wanna go for the Mars 3 dlp since it's mostly a side grade
That build plate looks a nightmare to clean. How do you get the resin out from between those "stilts" between prints?
the plate should have a sill like a rectangular baking pan so the resin would not get on the upper plate which looks like a pain to clean.
Nice 🙂👍
Thanks 😁
i have been looking at that one on there website. Still not sure on what to go for!
Alas, good sir, only you can decide that one 😁
been waiting for your review 😭 i bought the mars 4 ultra 2 weeks ago and refunded as soon as i saw that the 5 ultra was released to get that instead
And are you happy you did that now?
What are the fundamental differences between the Mars and Saturn ranges?
Size. The S4 ultra and M5 ultra are much the same printer, but the Saturn has a much larger build plate. This allows for taller and wider prints, but of course this costs a little more.
If you only ever print small things, then the Mars is great. But if your print sizes vary, the Saturn will give you much more flexibility.
@@vogman thank you for replying
device self test .. omg i read self defense .. was wondering why it had a Butten for that
А как вам Фотополимерный 3D принтер Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra?
Other than forgetting to put a handle on the lid, I think it's an excellent printer. th-cam.com/video/cEImoNLCHgI/w-d-xo.html
I actually like that they did what they did with the Mars 5 and 5 Ultra, there is now a very inexpensive path, and a higher quality path, and there is a serious difference between the Mars 5 and Mars 5 Ultra. You are not wrong about it not making sense between generations of 4 and 5, but just looking at 5 alone, it makes a lot of sense.
I like the idea of a cheaper model too... but they shouldn't have done that with the Mars 5. They should have specifically created a starter printer, a little like Anycubic with the Mono 2. I think a lot of people will be confused by this backwards motion with the model names... Mars 3 (4K), Mars 4 (9K), Mars 5 (4K?)
Still, I'm sure they know what they're doing 😁😁😁
@@vogman Oh Im not too sure LOL but looking at the two 5's I see what they are trying to do anyway. I do agree with you however.
@@dwightlee4315 You forgot that the Mars 4 generation had, Mars 4 Ultra and Vanilla Mars 4 at 9k, but also the Mars 4 Max at 6k and Mars 4 DLP at 2k.
I'm going to say, any larger print than an hour and I have seen drastic time differences from other reviewers. Printing something that takes 50m that most people aren't actually going to print and review it is silly. Compare a 3hr print in fast and regular settings.
The Judge Dredd print was 100mm tall and took 4 hours. It wasn't any faster than I've seen elsewhere.
Ahhh Vog, why dont you ever show the best resolution of the printer, you always print at that ugly 50 microns, makes no sense to review an 18micron printer if you show only 50 microns😑
Actually the Spartan ring is 0.03 layer height. I just forgot to label it 🤪
@@vogman i want 18 micron 😋
18microns is the XY pixel size + some more microns for pixels separation. This affects boundaries precision and smoothness on XY plane and not on the YZ plane where is the layer height that matters.
First, HA haven't had that in a while
Well done 😁😁😁
I wish Elegoo would give us something that didn't look like a transformer. Ditch the crazy angular shapes & stupid decals. They make the product look like a toy. Nobody cares for that garbage. Also, go back to a standard build plate. Who wants that melting ice cream sandwich simulator?
Devolution, this isnt Mars anymore
I think it's a genuinely good attempt by Elegoo to do something innovative. Lately it's seemed like Anycubic was making all the strides forwards, so it's nice to see Elegoo answering the challenge.
useless "AI" camera that locks you into chitu crap world.... old tech screen, what's the point with this printer?
