Our best resin 3D printer choice for 2025, the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra now has a deep 35% discount for Black Friday!
In our review of the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra, we praised the print quality and its 19-micron resolution! This level of quality will produce beautiful miniatures for wargaming, statues and busts for display, and detailed parts for use in model making and architectural study models. Heck, you could precisely 3D print your own keycaps and spare parts for aging computers (cogs and racks for disk drives only last so long).

The unboxing experience is simple. Take it out of the box, remove the packaging, power it up and start the calibration process. After that, you need to fill it up with resin (take care when handling resin, as it can be harmful to the skin) and send over your designs.
The tilting lid may seem like a really small detail, but other units come with a removable lid, which means you need space to put it somewhere while handing your prints. The onboard camera means you can watch your prints from the comfort of the sofa.
Your prints will be crisp, with 12K resolution (11,520 x 5120) on a 10.1-inch monochrome LCD screen, and you'll achieve 19-micron-level accuracy on the X axis. A human hair averages 70 microns! Your prints will stick to the laser-etched build plate until they are ready to be scraped off, and any residual resin will drip off into the vat, ready for reuse in another print.
