Just days after Anycubic unveiled their new 12K resin 3D-printer, called the Anycubic Photon M5s, Elegoo already came with an answer. They probably have been working on this for a while. The Elegoo Saturn 3 is the name of Elegoo’s latest 12K resin 3D-printer and they released it in multiple versions, including the Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra of which settings can be found here. Looking at the (odd) specification of the LCD screen, there is a good chance they are using the same LCD screen. Learn more about the printer specifications, compatible resins and 3D-printing parameters with Liqcreate resins!
Currently only Liqcreate Bio-Med Clear is tested by one of our partners. likely all Liqcreate resins are compatible with this printer, a good starting point are the settings we developed ourselves for the (regular) Elegoo Saturn 3 – 12K . Contact us at info@liqcreate.com if you have questions or need assistance dialing in Liqcreate resins on your Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra!
