The Best Resin 3D Printer You Can Buy Is $380 For Prime Day (Save $120) [CNET]

If you want to buy a new resin 3D printer, there is no better choice than the Saturn 3 Ultra. And it’s heavily discounted this Prime Day.

Every Prime Day, the 3D printing category sees some big discounts, but it’s rare that one of the best 3D printers available gets a discount this big. The Saturn 3 Ultra is my overall favorite resin 3D printer and a bargain at its normal price of $500. Now, Elegoo has dropped the price to $380, saving you $120 and making it the bargain of the year. But this is likely the last day to get it, so grab it while you can.

Throughout my testing, the Saturn Ultra 3 showed me how good a resin 3D printer can truly be. I was impressed not only with the excellent quality but with the blistering speed the Saturn showed when printing. It can print in minutes, what used to take an hour or two on older machines. 

The 218.88×122.88x260mm build volume is more than enough to print medium-sized cosplay items and busts, or if you are into tabletop roleplay games, it can print 10 to 15 miniatures with ease. The 12K resolution means that even the finest details are captured, including the zipper teeth on some of these models. I was blown away.

Resin printing can be a messy but rewarding 3D printing experience. I wouldn’t recommend it if you don’t have a well-ventilated space like a workshop or a garage. If you want to get the most detailed prints possible, though, and you have the room for a wash and cure station, too, then the Saturn Ultra is the best choice for you, especially at this $380 price tag.
