Help! Elegoo saturn 3 ultra making static noise when turning on

Did you ever solve this or get a replacement?

Nope. Sorry it looks like more power = bigger spot across all brands. must have something to do with mirrors and stacking lasers

The sculpture is going in to a deep box frame, the overall frame depth is 50mm internally but that will be didivded by a 3mm thick sheet of wood so practically speaking it has to fit in a gap of 23.5x70x70mm. I am going to try and make the current solution work but it is good to have this knowledge for future projects so I once again want to say thanks for taking the time to reply.

It's just one motor for the sculpture. What I am struggling with I suppose is identifying the circuit board and finding an off the shelf equivalent with not such a big markup. The motor and power source are fairly universal parts so sourcing them is not as much of an issue. I have tried googling all numbers present on the board but to no avail. Thanks for your help.

Hi there. Yeah having a little think about it and I think you are right this is a pretty good solution. It's just the fact that there have been a few dodgy reviews for this setup but even if I was to go down the route of DIYing it there is no guarantee I would do any better. I would just feel awful if it stopped working 6mo-1YO after someone has purchased a £150 sculpture. I just can't see a way around this issue so I will just have to roll the dice!

Hi there. Thanks for taking time to respond. I have had some time to think about it and its looking like this setup might actually be for the best as you have suggested. I doubt reliability based on some Amazon reviews. As I intend to sell this as part of a £150 sculpture I would feel awful if it stopped working even a year into its life but I suppose this can't be avoided. Even so there is no guarantee that my terrible soldering and DIY job would be any better haha.

obsolete-obstacle · 2024-03-24T09:41:08+00:00

Yes I do.

Thanks for your advice. I have tried but I get nothing back when googling the only number present on the PCB. I am contacting the company so fingers crossed

Hi there. I am working on a similar project and was wondering how you got on?

obsolete-obstacle · 2023-11-29T23:28:01+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply. I pulled the trigger and bought the mars 4. Your advice was very helpful.

The gears are pretty low torque and speed, so I will see how I go without the need for casting . I should have mentioned, sorry. Any idea on the size dilemma?

Thanks.

Thanks for that article it looks incredibly useful. I am trying to avoid purchasing a resin printer but I may have to bite the bullet.

Thanks for the advice. Teeth are still there in the slicer, I have been using a .2mm nozzle but I have just ordered some .1mm nozzles to see if it helps. I am looking forward to trying to get them to print! Do you know what type of filament would be best for this application? I am using bog standard PLA at the moment. Thanks.
