Firmware updates are regularly released by the manufacturer via downloadable files for USB installation, ensuring continuous optimization of curing algorithms and broad compatibility with newly developed photosensitive polymer resins. | The system natively supports ChituBox proprietary slicing software, widely adopted in the resin printing industry, ensuring smooth management of supports and exposure parameters. The machine integrates Wi-Fi connection modules that enable remote management and workflow monitoring. Compatibility with open formats ensures operational flexibility with leading third-party programs, allowing users to optimize printing profiles based on the specific resins used, whether standard or engineering-grade. |
The differences that matter
- Print volume: Jupiter 2 provides a build area of 302.4 × 161.98 × 300 mm compared to the 218.88 × 122.88 × 220 mm of the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K.
- Resolution and speed: The Saturn 4 Ultra 16K achieves 19 μm XY resolution and processes at 150 mm/h with tilt technology, whereas the Jupiter 2 operates at 26 μm and 70 mm/h using an ACF film.
- Weight and footprint: The Jupiter 2 is massive (40 kg and 75 cm tall); the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K is significantly lighter and more compact (14.5 kg, 54.8 cm tall).
- Investment: Its positioning in the F3 range brings the Jupiter 2 to 899 €, compared to the 399 € required for the F2 range Saturn 4 Ultra 16K.
Which one to choose
Choose Jupiter 2 if…
Choose Elegoo Jupiter 2 (advanced F3 model) if your workflow requires producing large parts or high volumes in a single session, utilizing the large 302.4 × 161.98 mm work area and 300 mm Z-height. It is suitable for professional environments or workshops with adequate space to accommodate a 40 kg machine.
Choose Saturn 4 Ultra 16K if…
Choose Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K (intermediate F2 model) if you prioritize an extremely high level of detail and speed: its 19 μm XY resolution and speeds up to 150 mm/h guarantee optimal performance for highly defined models. The tilt separation system and the 399 € price tag make it highly competitive for daily use.
