Mars 5 Ultra 9K MSLA Resin 3D Printer, Smart Mechanical Sensor, Fast Printing Up to 150mm/h, AI Camera, WiFi Cluster Printing, Automatic Leveling, Large Printing Size 6.04 * 3.06 * 6.49 inch

I bought this to print out my own miniatures for DnD, Warhammer, and various other wargames. I'm exceedingly pleased with the ease of use and quality of the prints. That said, it did take me 3 days of failed builds and troubleshooting to get a successful print. I'm completely new to Resin printing and not familiar with the process. None of my prints were adhering to the build plate and I would have to continually fish the failed prints out of the vat of resin. Tried a bunch of crazy advice from people on the web without any success. Turns out that TEMPERATURE is incredibly important to resin printing. First off, it is important that resin be at the proper temperature to print correctly. It's critically important to ensure that your resin is at the recommended temperature labeled on the bottle before printing. Some people recommend warming up the resin bottle in a sink or bucket of warm water prior to adding it to the resin vat. With the printer on, you can also pour it into the vat and wait an hour or two with the cover on for the temperature on the LCD screen to read at the top end of the recommended resin temperature. Resin temperature was only half the problem, though. The Mars 5 Ultra has a thick metal build plate. If your printer is in a relatively cool room (mine is in the basement, typically about 67F), the build plate will likely be TOO COLD for the first exposed layers to adhere properly to the plate. In addition to using a small space heater to warm up the room, you can use a hair dryer or heat gun to warm up the build plate. Doesn't need to be hot, just warm to the touch. If the build plate feels cold, your prints will likely fail to adhere to the plate. Lastly, the Chitubox software that comes with the printer is solid, but does take some time to learn. Coming from plastic PLA printers, I had to learn a few new things with the software in order to properly setup resin prints. Give yourself some extra time learn the important parts of the software. Overall once you get past the resin temperature and the finer points of Chitubox, the printer is very easy to use and the quality is exceptional!

I am brand new to the 3d printing world. I barely did any research aside from asking ChatGPT whats a good model with affordability as a main requirement. This thing was easy to set up and run immediately. The software is very intuitive and comes with a free Pro version for a year. I highly recommend for beginners. Just make sure you buy the resin as it is NOT included.

Used this product to print miniatures and small pieces of terrain for tabletop gaming + other odds and ends I wanted to paint. The quality of the machine itself was great, with only one failure (due to user error) out of dozens of prints. This is honestly one of the most user friendly resin printers on the market and it has a pretty high benchmark for print quality to boot. The issue is that after 1 month of using it, the control panel, which is a touch screen, stopped displaying what it was supposed to, and I can no longer properly operate the unit until it is replaced. Update: a replacement touchscreen is being sent, so hopefully thag resolves my issue

Small plate size but works very well

This product has been very reliable for me. After easy set up, I was able to hit the ground running by using the factory settings and print reliably from the start. Now that I am printing consistenly and have become more experienced I can begin to experiment with different settings.

I was very excited to start using the Mars 5 Ultra. This is my first 3D printer and plan to use it for 27mm-40mm minis. I watched dozens of videos before purchasing a 3D printer and Elegoo seemed to be the go to brand everyone recommended. The feature that sold me on this model and brand is the automatic leveling system. Right out of the box it works amazingly well. I was ready to print right out of the box. The Wi-Fi accessibility was a breeze to set up too. After researching as much as I had, I ran a couple test prints and was quickly printing. On the second day and 5th time printing anything, the resin tray leaked resin all over the printer. To make things worse, resin completely stuck to the build plate. Within 24 hours I went from excited to annoyed and wishing I hadn't spent the money on it. I contacted Elegoo customer service and they have been a nightmare. I get maybe ONE email response within 24 hours if even that often. I spent almost an entire day taking the printer apart to clean the resin. I used the included metal scraper and IPA as instructed to clean the build plate and it completely scratched the plate! Now I have resin printer that was soaked in resin, a build plate completely scratched, and a resin tray that leaks and is unusable. I envy anyone that hasn't had to deal with these issues or Elegoo customer service. I have very limited hobby time and items like this are a luxury. Having an automatic leveling system and Wi-fi don't matter if the resin tray breaks after a couple uses. Maybe I just got unlucky. I want to love this printer but if I could return it and buy a different brand I would.

The printer is accurate and detailed, and can print quite fast. The product description is not exaggerated. However, the build plate is extremely adhesive to prints, and they can be difficult to separate. A flexible magnetic build plate is not supported but I was able to get one working. Elegoo support is generous and helpful. They helped me debug a problem I encountered with the unsupported build plate. Overall very good but I found the build plate could use improvement.

I've had this printer for about a month I've used it to make 20 or so miniatures about 4 inches tall, so far the film ripped and now a catastrophic failure for the resin vat, the cheap motor that lifts and levels the tank is frozen/busted and will not level, leaving it drastically tilted preventing me from printing at all. While it's simple to use and the print quality is good it clearly isn't made well.

La mejor impresora 3D de resina que he comprado al momento, un caballito de batalla y fácil de usar

I transitioned from a Mars 2 Pro to the Mars 5 Ultra and the difference is remarkable. This printer is exceptionally well-designed with a user-friendly touchscreen and quick, responsive operation. The quality of the unit is top-notch. It features Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing it to connect to your phone, and includes a built-in camera for real-time print monitoring. Additionally, the print bed can be raised, providing flexibility in printing. I have owned two of this brand and am thoroughly satisfied. My advice to anyone purchasing a 3D printer is to choose tough resin over regular ABS, which is brittle and prone to breakage. Tough resin is superior in strength and durability. The printer’s price is reasonable, making it an excellent choice for beginners. The first image shows the printer with its built-in camera, which is quite effective and has good quality video and photos

Arrived intact and on time . bit of a learning curve but the i had'nt used resin for a couple of years Thanks T.Vick

Absolutely amazing. No hassle, easy to set up and go… If you are in areas of deep cold winters, I recommend you buy the heater at the same time.
