The video provides an in-depth review of two large format resin 3D printers: the Elegoo Jupiter and the new Jupiter SE. The Jupiter SE features significant advancements and refinements, maintaining the same build volume (277 x 156 x 300 mm) and screen resolution (12.9-inch 6K monochrome screen) as its predecessor but at a more affordable price of $700. Key improvements include an advanced electronic auto-feeding system for resin, a lighter and more accessible build design with a large acrylic hood, and a lighter build plate with a four-bolt leveling system and textured surface. The SE model also features a large cooling fan system to extend the display's lifespan and simplifies the process of dealing with excess resin by automatically returning it to the bottle. Despite its lack of Wi-Fi connectivity and smaller lead screw compared to the original Jupiter, the reviewer praises its affordability and suitability for large prints, such as a detailed goat skull, while suggesting smaller models like the Saturn 3 Ultra for printing miniatures. The video concludes with the reviewer expressing satisfaction with the print quality, ease of use, and encouragement for user feedback on the Jupiter SE.

In this part of the video, the presenter introduces two large format resin 3D printers: the Elegoo Jupiter and the new Jupiter SE. The Jupiter SE, while maintaining the same build volume and internal light source as the original Jupiter, comes at a more affordable price with an added feature the presenter appreciates. Cosmetic and structural differences between the two models are highlighted, such as the SE’s large acrylic hood with side handles and its lighter weight compared to the original Jupiter, which has a front door access and heavier build. The build plate and vat also differ; the SE includes a four-bolt system for leveling and a new mechanism for auto-loading resin, lighter build, and different handle designs. Additionally, the SE’s build plate has a textured surface compatible with older Jupiter Flex plates.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the features of the Jupiter SE 3D printer, highlighting its advanced electronic auto-feeding system. Unlike its predecessor which used a gravity-fed system, the Jupiter SE employs probes to detect resin levels and automatically feed resin from an external bottle when needed. A standout feature is its ability to automatically suck excess resin back into the bottle, simplifying the process of emptying the vat. This is a significant improvement over the older method that required carefully pouring resin back manually.
Additionally, the Jupiter SE retains the same build volume and screen resolution as the original Jupiter, with dimensions of 277 x 156 x 300 mm on a 12.9-inch 6K monochrome screen, yielding prints with up to 51-micron resolution. Other enhancements include a large cooling fan system to maintain optimal temperatures and potentially extend the display’s lifespan. The user interface remains mostly similar to previous models but includes new functions for the auto-feeding system. However, there are some minor issues, such as resin splashing onto the auto-feed system’s plastic box.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the connectivity options of the SE model, mentioning its lack of Wi-Fi which is present in other models like the Saturn 3 Ultra and Mars 4 Ultra. The speaker notes a smaller lead screw in the Jupiter SE compared to the standard Jupiter. The key highlight is the affordability of the Jupiter SE, priced at $700, which is $200 cheaper than the standard Jupiter. The speaker expresses gratitude to Elegoo for sponsoring the video and mentions the use of Elegoo’s rapid resin in most prints. A calibration test was conducted successfully, and despite being a large-format printer, the speaker used it to print detailed Miniatures, which turned out well. For those primarily printing Miniatures, the speaker recommends smaller models like the Saturn 3 Ultra. However, for large prints, the Jupiter SE is praised, exemplified by an impressively detailed goat skull print.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses their plans to paint and finish a 3D printed stand version and a filament version for wall mounting. They express satisfaction with the pre-supported files for their Jupiter-sized 3D printer, making the printing process straightforward. A comparison is made between prints from the original Jupiter and the newer Jupiter SE, highlighting the improved results with the SE. The creator mentions a mishap where a part of a printed bust broke off, leading to plans to reprint the bust for a complete review. The segment concludes with appreciation for their Patreon supporters and an invitation for feedback on the Jupiter SE and its affordability and effectiveness as a large-format resin 3D printer.
