| Software notes | The device natively supports the proprietary ChituBox preparation software and is fully compatible with popular third-party slicers in the industry. File management and remote monitoring are handled via the desktop application connected to the local Wi-Fi network. Advanced functions of the integrated camera enable automatic time-lapse video generation and anomaly identification during the placement of initial layers. File transfer is not bound to mandatory proprietary remote servers, ensuring operational continuity offline via the USB port. | 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
- Software and monitoring: The Saturn 4 Ultra integrates a camera for time-lapse videos and anomaly detection, features not mentioned for the 16K.
- Electrical specs: The Saturn 4 Ultra operates at 24 V drawing 150 W, while the 16K runs at 110 V with 144 W.
- Max speed: The dossier lists 150 mm/s for the Saturn 4 Ultra and 150 mm/min for the 16K, although the operational print speed is 150 mm/h for both.
- Physical dimensions: Marginal footprint variations (32.7 × 32.9 cm for the first vs 32.74 × 32.92 cm for the second).
Which one to choose
Choose Saturn 4 Ultra if…
Choose Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra if you want to take advantage of advanced visual monitoring features. At the same price (399 €) and print area (218.88 × 122.88 × 220 mm), this model includes a built-in camera for time-lapses and anomaly detection, operating at 24 V with 150 W.
Choose Saturn 4 Ultra 16K if…
Choose Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K if you are looking for an electrical setup with 110 V tension and a slightly reduced consumption of 144 W. The 19 μm XY resolution and tilt system are identical, but it lacks the built-in camera for visual monitoring.
