I\u2019m a huge<\/span> fan of resin 3D printers<\/a>. While the liquid resin can be a little harder to work with than typical filament printers, the results are often much more detailed and look better<\/a>. However, there are some limitations to the Elegoo Mars 3 that I used in the past. Things like its small print bed, or making sure it\u2019s properly ventilated because resin printing can be toxic, mean I don\u2019t turn to it as often as I\u2019d like. The new Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra, on the other hand, fixes all of these problems and more.<\/p>\n

What I love most about resin printing is that it enables me to be an even bigger nerd<\/em>. I have friends who play a lot of D&D, and I like to make minifigs for them. When I make costumes for Dragon Con<\/a>, I find it easiest to print a lot of the accessories or details that I don’t have the skills to craft myself out of other materials like foam. With the larger print size and a better filtering system, the Saturn 3 Ultra 12K made my dreams of making nerdy stuff a more convenient reality.<\/p>\n

The biggest advantage of the Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra 12K compared to other comparable 3D printers is just how much space you have to print. My Mars 3 has a build volume of 153.36 mm x 77.76 mm x 175 mm. That\u2019s just under 7 inches tall, with a roughly 6- by 3-inch print bed. That\u2019s good enough for printing D&D miniatures, small trinkets, or board game pieces. But it can get really restrictive if you want to do much that\u2019s larger than that.<\/p>\n
