In this segment of the video, Uncle Jesse introduces the Lagoon Saturn 2 8k resolution resin 3D printer with new 8k resin. He encounters printing issues with the resin but adjusts settings based on community feedback. Noting the resin’s thickness and darker pigment, he refines the print settings for optimal results. By lowering the resolution to 0.03 millimeter layer height and adjusting exposure times, he achieves detailed prints successfully.

In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses a 3D print of a bust where the back looks good, but the front did not print properly. Possible issues mentioned include the build plate not being level and the bottom exposure settings being too low for the squishy resin used. Recommendations are made to re-level the build plate and adjust the bottom exposure time. The importance of layer height in relation to file size and processing time is also highlighted. The presenter points out some imperfections in the print but indicates that supports can be easily removed without damaging the print due to the resin’s flexibility. The resin is shown to be very flexible before curing but becomes more brittle after curing. An electronic air gun is mentioned as a tool for drying prints before curing.

In this segment of the video, the creator discusses using a rechargeable air blower for cleaning in the studio instead of air cans. They printed a base for a magneto bust using a purple rainbow metallic PLA filament on the Elegoo Neptune 3. The details achieved with an 8K resin on the Saturn 2 3D printer are praised for their crispness and clarity, although there is consideration to reprint the helmet due to slight imperfections. The creator also tests the 8K resin on a 6K resolution Elegoo Mars 3 printer, noting the stunning results with enhanced details in the slightly darker gray resin. The video is sponsored by Elegoo, showcasing their 8K resin and printers. The creator expresses satisfaction with the resin’s performance on both printers and recommends trying it with the Saturn 2 for optimal results. Links to the files used in the video are provided, including a Magneto bust, and appreciation is expressed to Patreon supporters.
