All Mars 4 Reviews

Well, this is impressive, the first consumer printer with 18-micron pixels, but how well does that pixel size translate into sharp prints?

New to this whole thing. Appreciate your in depth explanations. Currently on sale for $209 USD and think it to good of a deal to pass up. My 11 year old son has recently been trying out 3d modeling and miniature painting so seems like a no brainer.

Waited for your review and still can't deside 😂 but great Video as always ✌️

Also, on resin. I found that the phrozen 8’k being the best around.
Is there a positive aspect to pouring the resin over the back of the plate when filling the vat? Or is it just aesthetic for production?😊

Hi Ross, Excellent review like all your videos, thanks for sharing your experience. Regarding the WARGAMER resin, are there plans for it to be purchased in the USA?

Hi,
I just ordered the printer, and rewatching your video you made a great point on resin, and you convinced me.
But before spending 60€ for 1kg of resin, I'd really like to know what would be the advantages compared to something like anycubic's ABS-Like v2 water washable, that sells at 30-36€ which is almost the half.

Hi, thanks for the information about this printer. I bougth the same two months ago and everything was going relatively well, until one day the printing ramdomly stopped. The touch screen show a meesage that says "u disk has been disconnected and printing has stopped". At firts, I didnt think about it too much, I just continue to print without any issues but, in the last couple of days, the problem appear again and again. I´ve lost like 4 prints, I´ve tried to change the file but it still happens. I dont know if the problem is related to the USB, the slicer, the size or something else. If you could help with this or if there´s anyone who knows something about it, I would appreciate it so much.

"Because....NO!"

I died! 😂

Thank you for the review and information on this product!

Great review. Thanks!
Quick question: How does the Mars 4 9K compare to the Saturn 3 Ultra 12K? If I only care about printquality and don’t need speed, wi-fi transfer and so on, is it then worth it to pay twice as much for a saturn 3 or is the Mars 4 perfectly fine?
Thanks.

Printers are fully released and elegoo doesn’t even have the base firmware on the site. I’ve had problems in the beginning when my printer was bricked because a wrongly formatted usb was inserted. Anyway you see it, the machine is very capable but was not ready to be released and that is insulting to the customer.

Ross needs a San Disk sponsorship at this point.😁

Thanks for the review! I was wondering if Anti Aliasing already work on the .goo files nowadays?

[capipj]

Elegoo Mars 4 9k or the Anycubic Photon Mono 2? Please advice me. Thanks a lot.

I am considering to have mars 4 and i am gonna probably use anycubic's water washable resin. (Due to IPA smells) Can i use the 18 micron potential of the printer by using this resin? In my country mars 4 costs 280 dollars and mars 3 pro costs 210 dollars recently. Also i wonder if frensel lens affects final print or not. (Because mars 3 pro has fresnel lens but mars 4 not.)

[aleximichaud]

So on the topic of why buy a cheap resin for the mars 4, frankly for me personally, I am just getting into SLA printing from FDM. Learning as much as I can from cheaper items before using more expensive items is just a good way to learn.

Having done something similar with home cooking, I can say for me at least this is a very effective method of learning for me.

Side note: mars 4 was on sale, mars 3 was not. also I appreciate the video its very informative! Cheers from Mississippi! :P

Thanks for the concise review!
In a prior video you suggested the mars 4 max to be the ultimate beginner printer. Would you recommend this one over the max or a 3 (pro) for a beginner?

[ApocGuy]

hey, i could use a hand here (total noob, in process of buying one of those resin printers); im looking for resin printer that is suitable for printing tabletop minis (nothing wild in size. at least not yet :P) and terrain. my plan is minis up to 28mm and minis terrain down to 6mm (1/300 scale ), which would be best? i have no allegiance to any of companies, so any input appreciated. btw; great explanation in recent video ;)

[robforrai]

Hi, did not read the comments, so my apologies if it's been pointed out. the step from FHD to 4K is 4 times not 2 times, as you pointed it out. Same goes between 4K and 8K.

[WiNNieph]

Thanks for the video. I am still a little confused. The Mars 4 and Mars 4 Ultra have a better pixel resolution than the Saturn 3 / Ultra. But still the Saturn 3 makes the better quality as i understood in the review of the Saturn 3 ? i want the best quality possible. i don't care about the size and the speed. i just print small figures. I would probably buy the Mars 4 Ultra and replace the acf film. For some reason the Saturn 3 Ultra is the only printer that makes good quality with ACF acording to your review right? When quality is the most important thing, which one should i buy ?

[stoinercraft]

I bought this printer a while ago, it should arrive in 3-4 days, i'm really hyped about it
