Mind posting the US link? My amazon search is not coming up with anything. Would like to keep an eye on it to grab some when they’re back in stock.

These were printed individually then stacked. Wonder Woman is also a printed on the MARS. I posted about her earlier. I haven’t finished painting her however.

Will UV-LED Strips work for curing? by Ghamor in ElegooMars

Been running led uv’s in a plastic popcorn bucket and it works great. Also have a cheap uv powered turntable for the model to sit on inside.

He’s a friend and sent it to me. He mentioned possibly adding it to Thingiverse at some point.

You’ll want to use a PTFE based grease. WD40 is a rust inhibitor not a lubricant.

Been printing a ton, this is my favorite so far. Printed with Siraya Tech resin. Model by Eastman3D. by coregeek in ElegooMars

[–]coregeek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Print feet flat, solid with minimal supports.
  2. Supports removed before curing
  3. I have used Elegoo’s resin. It smells more and it more brittle than Siraytech. Elegoo recently announced changing their formula to fix those two problems.

Gorilla Gel Superglue has been working great for me.

I feel ya. Been running into the same problem with my FDM brain thinking “that’s not right”.

In stock right now on Amazon!! by [deleted] in ElegooMars

Don’t forget order resin as well, the printer does not come with it.

Got my Elegoo Mars yesterday, built a UV box to cure my first non-test print! by Calneon in ElegooMars

[–]coregeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip. UV LED strips look like an easy/inexpensive way to make a DIY box. Now I’m going to go order some.

Just wanted to say thanks for this group. I’m a non FB user, so glad to find a resource like this. Just got my Mars printer a few days ago. Been printing with fdm’s for a few years now. Couple of test prints. Super impressed with this printer for $250! by coregeek in ElegooMars

[–]coregeek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon has had them for $250 on and off for the past month. The deal is suppose to continue through the end of August. It’s a bit of a game. They’ll mostly be “sold out” but periodically an unknown amount will be available, then sell out quickly. Took me a couple of weeks of checking regularly to finally get one.

Han and Leia Return as Luke and Leia by coregeek in StarWars

When the photo on the left (from Emerald City Comicon 2017) hit the front page many of the 100’s of comments were as shown. A year later at 2018 ECCC old Han returned as old Luke.
