ELEGOO Saturn 2 8K 3D Printer, MSLA UV Resin Printer with 10 inch Monochrome LCD, Air Purifier and Screen Protector, 219x123x250mm Larger Printing Size

Product Information

Equipped with a 10" 8K monochrome LCD, the Saturn 2 achieves extremely high printing speeds without loss of detail - despite the huge build space. Thanks to the high resolution of 7680 x 4320, all the finer points of a 3D object are also visible on the printed model. The sophisticated cooling system also increases the service life of the monochrome LCD. The display is additionally protected from impacts by a pre-installed, hardened (9H) protective film. Using a Fresnel converging lens, the light beams emitted by the 48 built-in LEDs are parallelised, resulting in an extremely uniform exposure at a light wavelength of 405 nm. Your printing results are characterised by amazing printing accuracy and smooth surfaces. Right away, you can tell the design of the Saturn 2 is different from the previous models. While not being as curvy as the Mars 3, the aesthetic is appealing in its own right. With regard to the features, the Elegoo Saturn 2 is closest in design to the Saturn S of any other of Elegoo’s offerings, which is to be expected as that was the previous model.

The sandblasted build platform guarantees the highest possible adhesion of the print result - the risk of detached, unfinished prints is minimised in this way. The air purifier can be operated with an activated carbon filter via the USB port, effectively filtering odours and vapours. There was a large payload gap between the Saturn IB's 46,000-pound (21,000kg) low Earth orbit capacity and the Saturn V's 310,000-pound (140,000kg) capability. Before any version could be put into production, work on all Saturn variants was stopped in favor of launching all future payloads from the Space Shuttle. Fresnel Collimating Light Source】Fresnel collimating light source consists of 48 highly integrated UV LED lights that work with FCL system Fresnel lens to emit a uniform light beam of 405nm wavelength, excellent printing accuracy, and a more smooth surface finish. After that, run a tank clean cycle through the printer’s menu, which will expose the entire bottom layer of the tray to UV light and create a solid mass of any little pieces that may have broken off of the failed print. You may consider adding a piece of removed support from a previous print to one corner first to make removal of the mass easier.In the mid-1960s NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) initiated several studies to extend the capabilities of the Saturn family. NASA specified a LEO of 100 nautical miles (185km), 28° inclination for payload calculations, and the studies examined a number of Modified Launch Vehicle (MLV) configurations based on the Saturn IB and Saturn V launch vehicles as well as Intermediate Payload (INT) launch vehicles based on modified Saturn V stages (MS-IC, MS-II, and MS-IVB).

The popular Elegoo Saturn gets another new edition: the Elegoo Saturn 2! The successor is equipped with a huge 10-inch 8K monochrome LCD, allowing for even larger and more accurate prints. The huge build volume of this MSLA-3D printer makes it possible to print detailed, large-format objects.It is best to start by removing the model above the resin tank. I found that using the metal spatula on the build plate worked quite well. The reason you want to remove the model first is to avoid dripping any resin onto the LCD screen, which is very difficult, if not impossible to remove once hardened. The Saturn INT-17 was the first version of the Saturn II to be considered. It replaced the first stage's five J-2 engines with seven higher thrust HG-3-SL engines, giving 1,334,000 pounds-force (5,930kN) of sea level thrust. It would burn a reduced S-II propellant load of 986,000 pounds (447,000kg) in 200 seconds. The vehicle had a LEO payload capability of 92,000 pounds (42,000kg) with a gross weight of 1,112,000 pounds (504,000kg). The reduced payload permitted a savings of 660 pounds (300kg) in structural weight, and omitting the S-IVB restart capability saved 1,500 pounds (700kg). [3]

To wash the models, I used Elegoo’s largest Wash and Cure station, the Mercury X bundle. Although this was designed with the original Saturn and Saturn S in mind, which have slightly smaller build volumes, I found the build platform still fit into the tank. The only issue I had was with some of the taller prints bottoming out. Once that is complete and you have removed the hardened resin, you should empty the resin tank. The plastic spatula works well to assist with this. Emptying the resin first allows you to inspect the FEP film as well. If it gets too damaged, you may need to replace it before continuing. It doesn't matter whether it's a large-format model or several small objects - with a build volume of 219 x 123 x 250 mm, there are hardly any limits to your creativity! For the first model, I went with the Tower of Pi to show basic slicing. This one is fairly straightforward since it doesn’t have any large solid sections, but it also has a lot of detail making it a great demonstration of a resin printer.

Saturn 2 includes 12 new distortion styles, a radically overhauled and expanded modulation system, enhanced envelopes, linear phase processing, and a new ‘Superb’ High-Quality mode. The new distortion styles, nearly twice as many, included ‘Subtle’ versions of the Tape, Tube, and Saturation styles for warmth and four new guitar amplifiers, three Transformer styles. All of this means that you use Saturn 2 for everything from sweetening a mix bus through to guitar amp simulation. After printing, the model will still likely have some leftover resin on it and, to get a resin print to look its best, you will want to clean it. Take just a little time to get to know Saturn 2 and you’ll find that creating complex, multiband treatments with macros controlling multiple parameters is genuinely useful when finding the sweet spot when adding colour to your productions. One of the most obvious improvements of the Elegoo Saturn 2 is the 8K high resolution screen. The screen is 10 inches, which is a noticeable improvement over the 8.9-inch screen on the original Saturn and the 9.1 inch display that came on the Saturn S.
