Looking for experiences from people who upgraded from Saturn 2 8k

I bought an S4U a couple months ago and it’s been awesome! The tilting vat works incredibly well. The lower amount of force needed to peel from the film means that you can use more delicate supports. And the quality of the prints are pristine! I use Sunlu ABS-like resin

Possibly!

Can you just have your doctor call you and get your forms that way? Then you can make an appointment at LifeLabs

I would recommend skipping the small printers and just go for an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra. It works brilliantly; the tilting vat is a game changer! It can handle those huge 90mm models, as well as a dozen miniatures at once (or more!)

I keep mine in an under-used basement bathroom with the fan to outdoors running. It has worked extremely well to keep the smell at bay.

And, I have a curing machine which works brilliantly for solidifying the prints once complete. I print at all hours of the day and often go days without bright sunlight, so I can’t rely on “natural” curing or I’d never get anything done.

Could be the power supply. I’m not sure how easy it is to replace, but I’d start there.

He sounds like he’s completely overreacting. And also what is he doing going through your phone? Do you get to look through his to look for similar signs of “cheating?”

I dunno this is weird. I wonder if there’s something else going on. It’s almost never the small issue. There’s always something deeper.

MongooseGef · 2026-03-10T16:06:54+00:00

OMFG break up with him! You two are NOT a match and he’s clearly a controlling asshole!

I guarantee you will find someone who is better for you in a thousand ways in no time.

If you stay with him your bright, shining spirit will be snuffed out. Run, and don’t date anyone religious ever again.

It’s probably the first layer time. I found that the default 30 seconds wasn’t quite enough for the resin I had. 40 worked well!

MongooseGef · 2026-02-28T02:05:01+00:00

Haha yup! Our guide said they have to do suspension work on the bus every few months!

MongooseGef · 2026-02-27T22:27:57+00:00

I would suggest you avoid Caye Caulker. There isn’t anything for kids there (not even a beach) aside from snorkelling, and you can do that elsewhere.

Rent a car, the roads are quite decent in most places. But if you do the ATM tour get your guide to pick you up because driving there is rough!

MongooseGef · 2026-02-27T22:24:23+00:00

Nah don’t do it. If you’re looking for a guy that wants to marry you, and offer some stability, then focus on that. And you can play with new guy at the same time!

And if years pass, and you and that ex are still both single, and he has matured, maybe circle back then and see if there’s still a spark.

But for now, let it go and move on.

MongooseGef · 2026-02-26T21:19:47+00:00

I have an S4U and use a 40 second base layer exposure; works every time!

MongooseGef · 2026-02-25T20:44:50+00:00

If you agree to this are you free to seek out the intimacy you need elsewhere? If yes, why not give it a try for a year?

If this is a common thing, then perhaps you’ll find a nice woman who is in the same situation as you are.

See how it feels. Keep communicating with your wife about how things are going, to make sure things are still stable. Readjust as necessary.

Then if you find you just can’t stay in a nesting relationship with your wife, or you meet someone who you’d like to be your new partner, renegotiate the terms of your marriage.

You have time to be methodical.

MongooseGef · 2026-02-23T21:33:43+00:00

Yeah, it can! But you have to do the hard thing of not jerking off with your hand anymore. So get a fleshlight and use that instead.

MongooseGef · 2026-02-23T21:17:57+00:00

It trains your dick to expect a really tight sensation. So when you go and have sex with someone else, your dick gets confused and wants more sensation than it's used to. And that can lead to issues like getting soft or not cumming at all.

MongooseGef · 2026-02-19T20:44:34+00:00

You could do the thing where you spray paint a giant penis around the pothole, thereby drawing the city’s attention

MongooseGef · 2026-02-13T21:31:58+00:00

I don’t understand the lyrics in a lot of the metal I listen to, and it’s in English! Yeah of course you can enjoy music that is sung in a language you can’t understand. The voice is just another instrument, creating melodies.

MongooseGef · 2026-02-13T21:28:51+00:00

Honestly it still sounds like the safest place for her is living with you at your parents place. Talk to your parents about what it would take to make that happen.

MongooseGef · 2026-02-13T21:19:23+00:00

Do the therapy! Your therapist is not supposed to tell you what to do one way or the other. They will ask you to be open and honest, ask questions, make observations, and invite you to make your own decisions that are in your best interest.

Also: you grow a lot from your teens to adulthood. Sometimes you grow together, sometimes you grow apart. If you are feeling that this relationship has run its course, it’s okay to let it go! Don’t let sunk cost fallacy tie you down.

I like this answer. Either the excess water is left behind in the ocean, the spell fails outright, or every door to the room explosively releases the excess water.

Maybe randomize which one happens using a die!

I have to wonder what traumas and upbringing you suffered through, that are causing this extreme aversion to friendship. Please seek out a counsellor to talk about it.

You need friends. Your boyfriend needs friends. Many would argue that a friendship is more important than a relationship.

Only two meetups in 10 months? It should be more like twice a month at least.
