    The auto leveling worked out of the box for me so I’ve never releveled with this printer.

    If the results are way below 1mm or if the results are over 0.2mm apart corner to corner (really, you want as little difference as possible), you need to play with the leveling.

Saturn 4 Ultra 16k Over A Year Of Troubleshooting

  • Build Plate & Leveling-1 pts

    It wasn’t because of the print resolution but more for the vat heating and the auto-leveling (which isn’t really “auto-leveling,” but I digress).

    They’re very convenient with great access. The problem is there’s no lip – there’s no handle; there’s nothing to grab, so easy one-handed operation isn’t possible which ruins the whole thing.

    The Saturn's build plate assembly is what scared me off—it looks like an absolute mission to clean between color changes, etc.
