Elegoo Saturn 16K
Mono LCD MSLA Resin — 10" 16K, 14µm XY
High-resolution MSLA resin printer. 0.014mm XY pixels — 28× finer than a 0.4mm FDM nozzle. Layer heights as low as 0.01mm produce parts with invisible layer lines. Ball screw Z-axis for consistent layer registration. Ideal for jewelry patterns, miniatures, dental models, and engineering prototypes requiring ultra-fine detail.

TRAINING_&_REFERENCE
📝
Resin Safety — PPE Requirednote
Nitrile gloves ALWAYS when handling liquid resin or uncured prints. Safety glasses. HEPA + Carbon Air Scrubber running. Cured (fully hardened) resin is safe to handle bare-handed.
📝
Post-Processing Workflownote
Print → remove from plate → IPA wash (3–5 min agitation, removes uncured resin) → support removal → UV post-cure (5–15 min, varies by resin). Skipping any step = sticky, weak, dimensionally wrong parts.
📝
FEP Film Maintenancenote
FEP is a consumable — gets cloudy, scratched, or dented. Replace when prints fail in the same spot. Never scrape FEP with metal tools. Vat clean function in firmware.
📝
Support Strategynote
Resin prints need more supports than FDM. Auto-support in slicer, then inspect manually. Islands (areas with nothing below) will fail. Supports anchor against FEP suction forces.
NOTES
IPA wash + UV post-cure station on-site. Full mechanical properties achieved only after complete post-cure. Standard resin typically blended with 5–8% Tenacious for flex/toughness without losing detail.
