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

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]

It also comes with a set of hex key wrenches and some spare screws in case any servicing or repairs need to be performed during the printer’s lifetime. There are two pairs of latex gloves and two surgical style masks for personal protection, but you will probably want to get some higher quality masks and additional gloves for working with resin.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. Monochrome LCD】 ELEGOO Saturn 2 adopts a 10-inch 8K mono LCD screen with an HD resolution of 7680x4320 and an ultra-fine XY resolution of 28.5 microns, outputting outstandingly detailed 3D models with a cure time of only 1-3s per layer. The scratch-resistant tempered glass above the LCD screen with 9H hardness for better light transmission and protection. 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. To get your model prepared, you will want to place the model at an angle. Placing models at an angle makes it much easier to remove them from the build platform without damage in the process. It also gives more surface area for supports to hold on so the model is less likely to fall during printing.

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. The proven software ChiTuBox allows you to generate high-quality print files in the storage-friendly .ctb format. File size is reduced by up to 90% - despite 8x anti-aliasing for smoother print surfaces. 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.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. What worked well for me was to start off by washing the item in the water first after printing, then remove the supports while they were still soft. After that, I dipped it in water briefly and used the brush included with the water washable resin to loosen up any more resin residue. I gave it another rinse in the rinse tank in hopes that the water would now be able to get into the nooks to help remove any additional resin. After letting the item completely dry, I then cured it and this prevented any white residue from forming on the prints, which can happen even with the water washable resins. Cleaning Up After a Failed Print on Elegoo Saturn 2 8K

The Saturn 2 is equipped with dual linear rails along the Z-axis, which ensure high stability. The movements of the build platform run smoothly. The MSLA 3D printer allows you a Z-axis resolution of up to 0.00125 mm. 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. One thing that you hear discussed a bit less often is exposure to UV light. With the Elegoo Saturn 2, I tested whether removing the cover would turn off the UV light source and unfortunately found it continues to emit UV light. Although it’s likely not any stronger than sunlight, it is best to avoid looking directly at a UV light source with your eyes if you can help it, and it is a good idea to avoid direct exposure to your skin as well. Most of the time the resin will be covering up the UV light source, so this isn’t really much of an issue, but it is something to be aware of. Printing Included Test Prints on the Elegoo Saturn 2 8K 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 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.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.
