Elegoo Saturn 2 8K Resin 3D Printer

ELEGOO SATURN 2 RESIN 3D PRINTER  is bigger than its predecessor, with a 219 x 123 x 250 mm build volume, and comes with a completely revamped design. There’s an 8K monochrome LCD screen, carbon filtration, an extension port, and something about a new light source.

Elegoo has packed a brand new 10-inch 8K monochrome LCD screen into the Saturn 2. This is a noticeable upgrade from the 4K offering in the Saturn S and should provide a substantial boost to the level of detail you’ll see on your prints. With a screen resolution of 7680 x 4320 pixels, the Saturn 2 is capable of printing objects at an XY accuracy of 28.5 microns.

BUILD VOLUME

The Elegoo Saturn 2 also grew in size. Its 219 x 123 x 250 mm build volume is significantly larger than the Saturn S’ 192 x 120 x 200 mm, giving users quite a bit more space to create within.

FRESNEL COLLIMATING LIGHT SOURCE

Elegoo designed and patented its new Fresnel Collimating Light Source.

DUAL-LINEAR RAILS

Twin-lins can be found on the Z-axis of the Elegoo Saturn 2 and, now that there’s a larger print volume. The extra weight on larger prints always adds slightly to the risk of a print failure, so dual-linear rails should help keep larger prints secure

FILTRATION & HOLE IN THE BACK

Elegoo has also fitted the Saturn 2’s acrylic hood with an extension port for users to hook up the printer to a proper ventilation system, a heater, or add an automatic resin feeder system

New Touchscreen UI

No shock here; there’s a touchscreen UI on the front of the Saturn 2. Its UI is pretty different from previous Saturn interfaces, though. Reminds us a bit of the black & red design of the Elegoo Jupiter. Very stylish, we like.

Metal resin vat

The Saturn 2 comes with a metal resin vat. These are often favored by people who like kicking up a fuss on the internet. In reality, we haven’t seen anything to suggest it’s better than a plastic vat. Except the feel, and that counts, doesn’t it?

FEP 2.0

At the bottom of the metal resin vat resides a PFA foil that promises less release tension and a higher printing success rate.
