About this deal
And that small cheap 4k screen will produce a better quality model than a big 4k screen with a bigger build bed.
Because I print miniatures and models with a lot of detail, it is very important for me to dial in a resin printer to make sure it can capture that detail and print successfully every time. The Mars 3 is equipped with the entry-level ChiTuBox Slicer; however, it can also be operated with ChiTuBox Pro or the well-known third-party slicer Lychee.
One thing surprised me a lot at this stage: the resin is way, way hotter coming from the vat of the Mars 3 than the Mars 2. Variables like temperature, humidity and the “spirit” of the particular machine and resin means you need to dial it in your own machine with your own resin. The Elegoo Mars 3 Pro 4K Resin 3D Printer has a plug-in activated carbon filter to reduce the unpleasant odor that comes with some resin materials. The metal spatula is for helping to remove your prints from the build plate, and you will want to be somewhat careful while doing so, as it can potentially gouge or scuff the metal surface.
The Elegoo Mars 3 Pro continues this tradition by including the same two-bolt system that has also been used on previous generation Mars 2 Pro, Saturn 2, and others. It comes with two metal resin tanks which are the same resin tanks used on ELEGOO Mars 3D printers except with two more lids covered on the top to avoid dust or direct light source when you are not using them. There are two pairs of latex gloves and two surgical style masks for personal protection, but you will likely want to get some higher quality masks and additional gloves for working with resin as these are usually used up fairly quickly. If I was looking at getting a resin 3D printer for miniatures, I would look to snag the Elegoo Mars 3 at the next available sale.A tempered glass cover with a 9H hardness has been introduced by Elegoo for the Mars 3 Pro (as well as the Saturn 2, which was also launched at the same time), which should make the printer’s LCD more scratch resistant.
