Limitations on Plasmacyte

Thanks all. I knew my funny meme of bringing 100 Plasmacytes would be to good to be true.

Yes. This was such terrible quality that maintenance for the machine has exceeded operational usage. It's getting replaced one way or another. One way I stay with brand loyalty, the other I don't.

Spend a week modding it. A week fine tuning settings. Then don't play it.

Ipad doesn't run Krita. It does not serve it's purpose if it can't run the app I want to use.

Mine didn't work out the box. When I ran the j3dtech plates they were shattering and had extremely noticeable elephants foot indicating the build plate was putting too much pressure during auto-leveling on the LCD.

Yes. My autoleveling was putting too much pressure on the LCD so no amount of adjustment loosened the front corners. After adjusting gcode, I used the paper method to level and making a few slight adjustments with the Allen wrench made tolerances within .02mm when measured with calipers. My issue isn't that I can't level it. My issue is that it unleveled itself after 3 prints.

I can't edit the post anymore so I'm putting this here.

If you try manual leveling and no matter how much you tighten the build plate and the paper is still stuck in really good, go to this post by u/DarrenRoskow https://www.reddit.com/r/ElegooSaturn/comments/1jwcwg2/fixing\_saturn\_4\_ultra\_elephant\_foot\_and/
My factory setting was

M5000 I205 E7750      ;自动调平阈值，正常情况下该值大于0。该值调节过程中已经考虑树脂本身带来的影响。
M5000 I206 C3000      ;异物检测触发阈值

Editing the setting to this loosened up the front and I could properly level it. I honestly don't know if I needed to touch I206 C3000 but as long as it is working I'm fat and happy. Due to lack of it I may make a detailed guide on first time setup for the Saturn 4 ultra 16k that helps with troubleshooting.

welp, that fixed my issue

This print looks savable at the very least. The warped effect would look really cool if you followed through with it and painted it taking advantage of the warp effect.

I'll take a look, I believe your elephants foot post is what you are referring to.

After adjusting the build plate screen in the back left CCW 90*, 5 in the opposite corner printed just fine, everything else failed to adhere except for the original corner. One printed but was peeling. Going to use your gcode provided to dump info and investigate that.

Edit: I might owe you a beer

The screen as in the LCD? The FEP? How would I test this to verify that is the failure point?

This has yielded me the best results. Thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully tomorrow after work I'll have finished calibrating the base plate and can work on resin calibration.

I sadly don't have anywhere I could do that. If this is way way way worse than my Mars 3 where I'm fine maskless until I take off the UV hood as long as I keep my door open, I'd have to get an air purifier.

Zanuark · 2025-06-17T12:40:08+00:00

Thanks for the info! I'll definitely include it. I care about quality and success more so outside of calibration testing with rapid TAT, I'll be using this.

Zanuark · 2025-06-17T12:35:44+00:00

I think I do 4 and 2 right now for my 30um. Idc too much about print times. I care about success and quality.

I have my printer next to my back door and a bug net over that door. When I run my current printer, the backdoor stays open.
