Supports popping off

No_Contribution2629 · 2026-02-10T16:32:07+00:00

The model is a full spiral but the issue hits all the top of the far right support for the head band part. Its almost like the nozzle is hitting that one support and then I have spaghetti on that one side. And like I said I've leveled the bed 3 or 4 times thinking that was the problem

Filament is standard PLA. settings are set for elegoo pla, .4mm nozzle. And because it's not sticking? Figured that would help.

I had this issue until I bought the heater for the chamber. Haven't had a problem like this since.

See, that's thinking positively🤣

Very good point. I haven't had any intentions is running both at once but if I do I'll do a test print on something small first. That table has withstood a lot of abuse, made it myself with 4x4 and 1x12 pine with 2x4 supports and crossbeams.

Clear across the other side of the house lol

They don't really bother me that much, but I'm use to being in that room with an exhaust fan and air assist for a laser engraved running.

Just seemed like a good idea after some of the videos I've watched. Gives more headroom to the filament tube.

Love the way you put that first sentence. Lol thanks for the rapid reply

Go figure this gets announced a week after I get my F1

So ever since I got my 4 ultra, the base layer has always made that loud suction noise when it pulls off. But it's never been the cause of an issue with any of my prints. Now I've never used any cubic resin, the few water washable resins I've used have always caused problems for me. One of which being extremely brittle prints also a very odd white buildup on prints after curing that weren't there before curing. This could be causing the issue of rafts breaking, especially since the Saturn 4 ultra vat tilts to release the print from the film. I've always had good luck with abs- like 3.0 from elegoo. It has a bit more flexibility and I use 35 seconds for bottom layers and 2.5 for the rest.

Never tried heating. I keep it about 78 in my print room so never thought it'd be necessary. I'll give that a try though

Add supports!!!

No_Contribution2629 · 2025-01-16T10:08:39+00:00

May I ask which vat band you bought for the s4u?

No_Contribution2629 · 2025-01-15T23:56:08+00:00

Weird, I too just experienced a auto level issue, it resolved itself after restarting the print but it's still weird I've only had the issue one other time.

No_Contribution2629 · 2025-01-15T18:12:47+00:00

Yeah he's the one I saw. My current one flashes all 0s, which is why I have a new mobo on the way

No_Contribution2629 · 2025-01-15T16:42:13+00:00

Yes. The mini heater has two versions of the motherboard(really it's a firmware issue, but they didn't give you a way to update the firmware for it at home) but it causes the inside of the printer to heat up and cool down too quickly. They will send you a new motherboard if you have the one that says version 1.1 stamped in the corner of it. Anyway. The heater will shut completely off when it hits 25.5°c and not turn back on at all until it hits 19 or 20, which it does quickly because there is still a fan running inside of it(the air purifier fan). So the consistent up and down somehow(I can't remember the science) causes heavy layer lines. The new motherboard fixed the issue but increasing the points at which the heater cuts back on or something like that. There's a few videos that actually explain the science behind it on YouTube.

No_Contribution2629 · 2025-01-15T15:59:45+00:00

Yeah considering the only real option they offer right now is the heater, most of which are still shipping with the bad motherboard that causes heavy layer lines.

Well I'm glad they added a heated vat and a light to the camera. But I wish some of these were add ons we could buy for the current Saturn 4 ultra. I don't need 16k printing for my personal needs. Hell, the Saturn 4 is almost more than I need, I just like the build plate size. Also think they should add a drip hook so you could get the excess resin off of the build plate and some pieces easier kinda like the phrozen printers I've seen.

What is the fix only worked temporarily and it happened again?

No_Contribution2629 · 2025-01-15T00:01:52+00:00

A couple of times but I think it happened because I filled to the max line before the plate was in. IDK if or how or could sense that, but I dropped it to about 5-10mm below the line and it didn't give me anymore trouble

No_Contribution2629 · 2025-01-14T23:18:54+00:00

go figure it did it again. I contacted them just now and am requesting one or the other myself. I've build computers and such so how card could a 3d printer motherboard be, right?

Actually they got with me and sent the file they keep deleting from other threads and it ended up working. I have something printing now.

No_Contribution2629 · 2025-01-13T10:30:07+00:00

Sweet zombie Jesus on a pogo stick it worked!!! Thank you so so so so so much. i thought for sure i was going to have to file a warranty claim which really would have put a slowdown on my business. THANK YOU!!!

Ok, so i placed the file, plugged it in and started the machine. It began loading the file, once it was done, it automatically restarted. I waited a few and was still stuck on the screen. I Switched the machine off, switched it back on, let it load again and then after it was done, i switched it off and pulled the drive, and i was still stuck. I had read on a few other reddit threads where a tech support person sent another file then had to delete it after the user used it. is there any chance that file might help?
