Just got my Saturn 4 ultra, and it just doesn’t seem to be very good. I’m toying with the idea of sending it back and paying the restocking fee, but that’s a lot of money (and shipping fuel, etc, etc) to waste.

Upgraded from a Mars 2 Pro and Mars 4, and I just can’t believe how clunky the Saturn is. The build plate is too tall and too crammed into the case to make a decent tilting adapter, and a ton of resin gets wasted when removing parts. The touchscreen UI is almost as bad as the Mars 4, with horrible use of screen space (multiple prints with same name but different date at the end? Too bad, you can’t see any part of the title past the first two words) and poorly designed features.

I’d be interested to know if anyone has this printer or a similar one figured out, and is actually enjoying using it.

    I literally just got my Saturn 4 ultra two weeks ago, it prints PERFECTLY right out of the box. I literally did nothing to set it up. I’m so used to my CR10 needing to be babysat it was shocking how well the prints come out.

    I have heard of them losing their Z position and ramming the build plate into the reservoir repeatedly, but that the only problem I have really heard of them having.

    Maybe yours has a defect?
