ELEGOO Mars 5 Resin 3D Printer with 4K Mono LCD,Automatic Leveling for Beginner, Desktop 3D Printer with Printing Size of 143.43 x 90 x 150 mm³

I've owned an FDM 3D printer for ages, and have been looking around for a resin printer that is both cheap, easy to use and reliable. I considered a whole bunch of printers first, the Monoprice resin printer, the Anycubic and some cheaper Sparkmaker. After looking at some youtube reviews, the Elegoo pretty much came out on top - because of the great price, performance and community support. The only thing was that the printer kept coming into stock and selling out almost immediately, so I had to set a camelcamelcamel alert for when it comes back into stock, which it did - and I jumped at the chance to buy it. So, I'd investigated the whole ownership aspect of 3D resin printing and preparation is very important. Firstly, you need a space to do the printing that is well ventilated and away from pets, children and food. You also need to buy a few consumables, such as latex/plastic gloves (in bulk!), isopropanol alcohol, above 95% for cleaning your prints, lots of paper cleaning cloths and lots of plastic containers for cleaning your prints in. I just use plastic take-away trays and old ice-cream tubs for this, as they will generally need disposing of after a while, and there's no point spending money on things you would normally throw away. Oh, and you need to buy resin as this printer does not come with any. I bought the crystal red Elegoo product. It looks fantastic and works very well. You can also benefit from having a UV curing booth or UV torch or something similar in order to cure your items post-print. The unit is packed really well with any moving parts secured very well for transit. You can also pack your printer back into the box when you're not using it. Once I unpacked the printer, I was up and running within 30 minutes, printing out my test 'Rook' that comes on the supplied USB stick. It took about 3-4 hours to print two rooks and I have to say that the quality is absolutely outstanding, using the crystal red Elegoo resin that I bought with it. I've printed a whole bunch of other things since then, and they've mostly printed very well. You have to put a bit of thought into printing stuff with supports, and I've found that if I print with very thin supports, then the print can often fail, but in general, if you use the medium or thick supports then everything is great. Would I recommend this product? Absolutely, if you're into 3D printing then you just cannot go wrong at this price. Yes, it's much messier than FDM printing. Yes, the running costs are way more expensive. But it's really a separate application; this is great for high-detail small things, like printing figurines, whilst FDM is more suited to larger things, like enclosures, or costume parts or large brackets - that sort of thing.

Where do I start on the Mars 2? I absolutely love it. I run a professional 3D printing business and now have a number of Elegoo printers, they are really great bits of kit and at a price that offers fantastic value. Somehow Elegoo manages to cut corners in all the right places to bring the price down without affecting the quality of the experience or the printing. The Mars 2 is fast to print, easy to use, produces really high-quality prints, is on the quieter side and is simple to maintain. Most importantly though (as a business owner) it's RELIABLE. Once you get to know this machine it will work and work and work. I use it everyday for customer orders and it's probably my most trusted piece of kit. When it comes to resin printing this is a big deal because the clean-up from failed prints is at best a faff, and at worst an expensive and time-consuming issue. The print quality is great and if you're tempted to go for the more expensive 4k printers at this size I'd say it's not the jump in quality you'd think. It's really hard to tell the difference between a model printed on a 2k or 4k screen. You'd need some high-res photos to even notice it. It's also worth noting that we're only talking XY resolution here. All resin printers can go to the same Z resolution (layer height). I'd really recommend buying the additional resin vats that Elegoo sell so you can quickly swap in different resins or be able to carry on printing if you have a print fail (all of the fails I've had with this machine have been my fault). If you've never 3D printed or just need a bit of extra capacity - this is the printer for you.

I have wanted to get into 3D printing for over a year and was saving up to get the UniFormation GKtwo as it seemed the best one for my miniature printing. However I also was impressed on this one's reviews on Youtube so as it was my first printer I went with the cheaper one just in case I did not take to it: less money wasted. I read the instructions which appear to be written by AI or someone who doesn't have good English. Despite this I managed to level the bed and get ready to print the test model. WOW it came out perfect. I left all settings for this as the factory defaults and intended to alter them afterwards as necessary but to my amazement the test model; was sharp, crisp and as far as I could see, perfect. It is quiet, no smell and takes my around 1-2 hrs to make a model/plate of models with the default settings so quite fast. So I made a dwarf. Perfect again. Then I made a Japanese Konflikt '47 officer. Perfect again. I made a gladiator. Another perfect. So, I have not touched the settings at all and don't intend to as I will only mess it right up and regret touching them. So far I have had NO bad prints, which was a worry. I am in seventh heaven with this machine and am now printing round the clock as I no longer need to buy any miniatures ever. What a Godsend this really is. I cannot recommend this enough. It is perfection indeed! I still intend to buy myself the UniFormation GKtwo, but this can definitely wait for the moment and I will spend all my spare time making models for the forseable future. I recommend Chitubox slicer, which comes on the provided usb stick. Don't bother subscribing, use the free version as it does everything you will need. It does take a little while to work your way around it but after making maybe 3 print runs I can do everything with it that I can imagine I ever would need to. 11/10

La Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra me parece una impresora excelente para iniciarse en la impresión 3D en resina. Destaca especialmente por su resolución 9K, que ofrece un nivel de detalle muy alto incluso en piezas pequeñas, logrando resultados limpios y bien definidos desde el principio. Uno de sus mayores aciertos es la autonivelación, que simplifica muchísimo la puesta en marcha y evita muchos de los problemas típicos cuando estás empezando. Para alguien que quiere entrar en el mundo de la resina sin complicaciones pero sin renunciar a calidad, esta impresora es una opción muy acertada.

Très bonne imprimante pour un prix plus que raisonnable. C’est ma troisième imprimante et ma deuxième de cette marque et pour moi il reste une valeur sur! Petite par la taille mais grande par la qualité d’impression! Je l’utilise comme imprimante secondaire pour des pièce plus petites mais où j’ai besoin de beaucoup de précision et franchement elle est incroyable. J’ai la saturn 2 8k pour les grande partie et je pense que les deux font un très bon combo La mars 5 ultra et génial et très simple d’utilisation, moi qui ai l’habitude de tout réglé moi même, celle-ci fait tout pour vous, plateau auto nivelé, détection de résine , si il y en a trop ou pas assez elle vous le dira, détection de résidu dans le bac ( je n’est pas eu le courage de tester ça, trop peur de cassé l’écran) mais apparemment cela fonctionne.

Ich hate mir als ersten Drucker einen Mars2 geholt, dem gegenüber ist der Mars4 Ultra genauso Problem los in Betrieb zu nehmen. Mit der aktuellen Version von Chitubox sind Drucke besser geworden und bei gleicher Belichtungszeit ist der Druck deutlich schneller geworden. Die Dokumentation ist auf das mindeste reduziert. Für weitere Informationen muß man auf die Eleego Hompage zurück greifen.

Bonne qualité , merci

Sono rimasto impressionato dalla qualità di stampa perfetta è dire poco molto semplice da usare
