Good lord some of those camera shots! Congrats on the Saturn 2… prints so damn nice
Hey man! Thanks! Oh, when I saw my "Walter White" I screamed: "I BET Uncle Jessy NEVER forgets to make drain holes!!!"
It's a solid printer. Elegoo will sell A TRUCKLOAD of Saturn 2!
@@GeekDetour 😂🤣😂 it’s happened a few times
Goodness those camera shots were just fantastic
Thank you! Hey, can you tell me what exactly most called your attention? (so I can write down and never forget 🤔)
Loved the explanation of the collimating light source!
Thank you Paul! ❤️
The breaking bad bust print coming full circle after the "yeah, science!" quote was not lost on me haha. Very well done video on lots of levels, I really enjoyed watching!
Finally 🤩 Ha ha ha! I found peace ✌️🤣 Thanks, I am glad you liked it.
Great video and overview of the printer’s new features! I totally agree that the new lighting system is a complete game changer! I am excited to see what crazy things people will print with this machine!
Hi there @Super Make Something 🤗 Do you also have the previous Saturn? What do you think about the new “FEP”? I felt the Saturn 2 is very smooth to operate - looks like a reliable product. Time will tell, of course… like all new products!
@@GeekDetour Yes I have the Saturn as well. Overall I like the new version more and am definitely a fan of the new FEP. I am hopeful that the Saturn 2 will last a long time!
Amazing shots! Parabéns!
Thank you!!! 😄
Linda impressora!!!! Amei o vídeo!!!! Parabéns!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Obrigado Cristina!!! Não é impressionante? Você precisa ver o busto com os próprios olhos - é muito louco o nível de detalhe dessas impressoras novas! Bjs!
So glad I got an early bird Saturn 2. Love the video amigo!
I think you will love it! Solid printer! Gracias ☺️
9H on the mohs hardness scale, where 5 is glass and 10 is diamond. 9 is pretty bloody hard but it doesn't mean it's not brittle. It could probably stand up to a fair bit of force but when it breaks, I'm guessing it's going to be similar to what you see on your cell phone.
As for the fresnel, I'm surprised it took this long to implement. The idea was floated a couple of years back when paraLEDs were being found in the mod space.
That was a very informative comment! ❤️ “Mohs Scale”, I learned something today 😁
I totally agree with you on the Fresnel aspect - it’s used in several applications already… but, well, it is the first MSLA 3D Printer to use it under the LCD that I know of, and indeed it looks like an excellent idea!
@@GeekDetour Yeah, the first commercial printer, as far as I know. I started playing around with it some time ago in my Photon Classic when I read about the mod.
The fresnel is definitely a better solution for them than their previous single lens design. The paraLED is nice but expensive and has heat issues. Elegoo also had problems with the focal length in the early paraLEDs found in their Mars Pro.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to this next generation of printers 👍
You are correct about the Mohs scale but The H at the end refers to pencil hardness (pencils range from 9b to 9h which is the hardest). The test is carried out using the pencil at 45 degrees and a 9h pencil should not scratch the screen protector. As you say very hard.
Awesome video like always 😀
Thanks!!!
Hey GD, great video! My Saturn 2 should arrive on monday (thank you, black week on Amazon).
Thats great! Lots of fun using this printer!
Thank you man, this exactly what I was looking for, if The fresnel is good or not.
To me it looks like an improvement in the right direction: light goes up parallel and it reduces parallax aberration/distortion at the edges (I saw that clearly on the microscope).
Wow, what about the filter? Congrats on the record time ! Great video son, as always!! ❤️
Thank you mommy! 🤣❤️ It was something - I need to sleep more today 😁 So far, it’s a very smooth printer to use.
You are the only youtuber ever who showd that there was a plastic bag on the coal. I was running my saturn for a week with it on. 😓
Oh my goodness! Ha ha ha, sorry, it was funny 😆 Hey, you are welcome! Don’t worry man, lots of mistakes yet to come in your journey - that’s the way for learning 🤷♂️
Waiting for my unit! 😆Going to mod it though to add wifi, heater and better fans. Maybe a camera if it fits. Only question is will everything I have planned fit into the electronics bay or not. 🤔
Wow! You need to tell me how it is possible to add Wifi AND a camera 😱🤯🤔
Hmm, apparently youtube deletes comments with links? Never knew.
Anyway, as long as the Saturn 2 motherboard exposes a serial port (not sure yet), it should be possible to control with a raspberry pi zero W (it's been done on a Mars Pro). Wifi is then on the pi, and same for the camera. Also plan to have an MCU running a PID program and hooked up to the heater. I'm not sure I'll be able to fit everything (including Noctua fans) inside the enclosure though.
Oh, fitting everything inside to me is the less challenging thing… Actually controlling a resin printer from a Raspberry Pi (just like we do with Filament printers using OctoPrint) is the novelty to me - until very recently I don’t think it was possible. Maybe I am missing something! 🤔😅
It's been done before by someone with a Mars Pro (the link youtube deleted), so it should be possible.
A big thanks. Another important thing in 3d resin printing "collimate". Just one question. What model do you use to calibrate 3d resin ????? Thanks.
Hi 👋 There are a few “famous” calibration models. Look for “AmeraLabs Town”, “XP2 validation”, “Phrozen Calibration Model”…. You can also watch this video talking about many of them: ua-cam.com/video/RkLmm3zeVF8/v-deo.html
@@GeekDetour Thanks. I have already watching it multiple time. But something strange for me is that you can obtain a good exposure settings with Phrozen XP at 4.5s but fail on tableflip foundry model !!!!! so Were is the trueth ?????
Elegoo had a clearance on the original Saturn for $350. I've been waiting a long time to get the Saturn at a great price. But now, the Saturn 2. Dammit.
Oh, Eric… yeah man, it will never stop 🤣
I just bought a Saturn 2. I will open tonight
That’s so exciting, isn’t it?! It is such a beautiful 3D Printer! Have fun! AND leveling the build plate is key for successfull prints!
Will this resin printer be suitable for accurate parts? I want some nice smooth skin model instead of the textured ones on FDM. Very detailed video, I like your contents!
Hi there! Thanks a LOT! Look: the resolution of Resin 3D Printers is far better than filament prints. Resin finishing is smoother, you can print parts with less clearance - the precision is indeed better. BUT: the difficult part is finding resins with the mechanical properties you need for practical / mechanical parts. Most resins are very brittle or can wear very fast under friction. Engineering resins are quite more expensive - they exist, but can cost 4 times more.
hi. does the print plate of the saturn 2 fit in the mercury x wash machine? maybe without the metal basket?
Excellent question - I tested it but I wasn’t recording 😭😆 It is exactly as you said: with the metal basket, the holders of the basket touch the plate. If you remove the basket, the plate of the Saturn 2 can go in and touch the sides of the tank, I guess close to the 6 Liters Mark… it doesn’t really reach the 5L mark, too narrow for it.
damnnnnnnnnn..... that was a fine artwork !
i gues the printer price is not very expensive too !
The Saturn 2 will go around U$ 600 - but at the launch sale, the first batch was sold at $500, the next pre-sale batches are at $550
Would love to hear what settings you used for your Saturn 2 and the resin!
Hi there! Man, I didn’t refine ANY parameter: I opened Chitubox, added Elegoo, Saturn 2… and for Resins I used the same exposure time I had previously used for my Mars 3…
The small tests and the Walter White you see in the video were 1st tries… the way they printed out I just cleaned, cured, and recorded for the video 🤣
Oh, Walter white, Elegoo ABS Like Grey.
Black Test Prints were Elegoo Plant Based Black - a beautiful, but quite brittle resin. You drop on the floor, the piece breaks/shatters.
I have a question and need an honest answer.
Are you happy with this printer? Is it good for its price? I really want to buy it and I would burn all of my money on it (and the accessories), so a yes or no on if this printer is worth it would be awesome ^^.
I really like your way of making videos, you are charismatic, you have a charming style and the camera work is amazing! Really, really good video overall!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🤗 Honest opinion, of course! First: I didn’t buy the printer. At this point, most of my printers were sent from brands, for me to review them in my channel. That said, I try to share my objective experience with each product.
The Saturn 2 has an excellent price, considering it has a 28 microns x/y resolution (one of the highest on the market) on a very comfortable, big build volume. If you have the money to buy it (plus resins you want, plus curing/cleaning station), you will be making an excellent purchase. Mechanically, it is an excellent printer as well - and more silent than the Mars 3.
I love the results of Resin 3D Printing - But it has so much more involved: cleaning, curing… and, really, I think cleaning/curing stations are MANDATORY. If I didn’t have them, I would certainly print even less with resin printers. If you are short on money, maybe buying a cleaning/curing bundle + the new Mars 3 Pro would be a more useful deal than buying just the Saturn 2.
Elegoo makes good quality products - I have a bunch of Arduino boards and kits from Elegoo as well. The price is always fair.
Do you participate on the Official Elegoo Mars or the Official Elegoo Saturn user groups on Facebook? It is a great community as well.
@@GeekDetour Thank you, I decided to buy the printer, your input helped me a lot.
I have the needed money for the printer and the Curing/washing station, it was just that I wasn't sure the printer is worth the money.
Have an amazing day/evening!
Was wondering if the UV source is more powerful compared to Saturn S?
Hi there! I would love to have a way to give you a number (like, some measuring instrument) - but I actually don’t even have the Saturn S to compare. BUT, I remember seeing people reporting lower exposure times per layer.
UV strength is not the only thing. How much light each new LCD screen actually allows to go through gets better at every generation. The parallel light is a big deal - and the fact the source is not a big matrix of LEDs anymore is EXCELLENT! Now the light is very uniform. Everything related to the UV light on the Saturn 2 is far better.
9h refers to the Moh scale of mineral hardness! it's one away from 10! 9 away from zero! & zero away from 9! that's just a picture of my uncle!
🤔 that… didn’t help much 😳🤣
Very cool, but is there a wash and cure solution that will accept the entire build plate? It's kind of a must for me.
Thanks! Hi! If you take the metal basket out, you can put the buil-dplate of the Saturn 2 inside (it touches the container around the 6L line). Of course, if you are printing something that has lost of VOLUME it will displace too much alcohol… It really depends on what you print.
@@GeekDetour great, thanks!
So you can use regular abs like resin instead of 8k resin?
Sure! You can use ANY of the existing UV Resins that ou would use on an MSLA resin 3D printer 👍
Estou me coçando pra pegar uma dessas......kkkk
Cara, é muito boa esta impressora. A coceira fica forte mesmo 🤣
💕👌👍
❤️🤗😁
OMG DID THEY REALLY USE A STANDARD USB A TO DELIVER 24V ?! That's not een bad engineering. That is simply insane.
Yeah… I guess mechanically it is advantageous since the USB Plug has proven to be very sturdy - but there is always the risk of someone using it for something “normal” and fry it 😬
Sub for this one thanks
That’s great, thanks! Welcome to the channel!
@@GeekDetour 👍
Every year these printers become obsolete as newer printers with higher resolution screens become available and printer manufacturers refuse to give upgrade kits to existing printers so they can upgrade to higher resolution screens.
It's a business anti consumer practice they're doing, best is to wait for higher resolution printer to become available next year in the pre-order phase.
Well, thinking this way, which is the best year to get a printer? Because next year’s printer will also be “just one year away” from not being the best possible product 🤣
My take on obsolescence is: when you need one, you buy the best one available (at a reasonable price, like the Saturn 2 or the Mars 3 Pro it is not worth financing bleeding edge tech). And once you have it, use it until it really doesn’t serve you well (it can be many years of service). There is no reason to change every year unless you are a crazy enthusiast or your business depends on it, etc.
@@GeekDetour I don't just print stuff for myself i print stuff professionally as i plan on starting a business, also i'm a professional senior 3D character artist and i make my own stuff so i want a printer that has as few layer lines as possible so all my work shows up in the print so that the postprocessing is as minimal as possible. I have 2 4k printers now and because every year we get a new one if i sell one it won't be worth it and printer manufacturers don't give us any way to upgrade the screens. Printers now with 8k screens seem to have barely any layer lines, think i will wait for 10k printers, i also want a silent printer so it doesn't keep me up at night and maybe a resin pump or sensor so it stops when it runs out.
Everything you said makes perfect sense. When you already have equipment that “works” for your projects, you tend do wait for more significant changes. To me, I wish they would put a VAT with controlled temperature (since the resins don’t print nice under 20°C). Anyway, from 4K to 8k the difference is huge, I think it already got to a sweet spot between price and resolution.
@@GeekDetour Yeah, will wait for a 10k screen though, haven't printed in a year, been busy with other stuff but i plan on getting back very soon, been painting one of my statues and it's getting close to finish. Someone is testing a new 7k screen for the Transform but because it isn't an official upgrade he has to do all the work himself which is why it's annoying how printer manufacturers treat their customers.
Initially they said resin printers would be modular and upgradeable but they lied.
The Mega 8K is intersting however it seems to be slower than the Transform, maybe due to a slightly large platform, something in between the medium and large size printer would be perfect.
