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'm modelling a pencil holder version of the star projector at the planetarium I volunteer for.

 

Openscad wanted about 25 gig of RAM to crunch this.

I use both and rarely ever make use of file storage on nextcloud. Syncthing is awesome software.
