| 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
- Camera and monitoring: The base model integrates a camera for time-lapses and anomaly detection, which is not mentioned in the 16K version.
- Power supply voltage: Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra operates at 24V, whereas the 16K model specifies 110V.
- Power consumption: Slight difference in declared power (150 W for the base versus 144 W for the 16K).
- Movement dynamics: Maximum speed is reported as 150 mm/s for the base and 150 mm/min for the 16K, although the operational resin printing speed is identical (150 mm/h).
Which one to choose
Choose Saturn 4 Ultra if…
Choose Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra if you need active print monitoring: the integrated camera's advanced features allow for time-lapses and first-layer anomaly detection. Additionally, it operates at a voltage of 24V and draws 150W.
Choose Saturn 4 Ultra 16K if…
Choose Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K if video monitoring is not a priority and you prefer a machine configured for 110V voltage (144W), maintaining the same 218.88 × 122.88 × 220 mm print area and remote Wi-Fi management features.
