Blood & Wonder
Arrrr, Jim Lad
While I wait for the Kickstarter I decided to fire up the 3D printer. Well more accurately, first I decided to upgrade the printer! After a bit of an accident, I was left with some cured resin on the LCD of my Mars 2 Pro. I tried everything to get it off – alcohol, heat, meth and lots of scaping but only small amounts were coming off. Well I figured – it’s an old printer anyway so why not upgrade 🙂
After a bit of research I settled on the Saturn 2 8K – quite the improvement on my old model.
Papa and SonPro Tip: I ordered this printer directly from the Elegoo website on a Monday. On Amazon this price ranged from £530-560 with guaranteed delivery by Thursday. From Elegoo direct it ended up costing £485 and it arrived on Wed!
Now time to find some STL’s – after a bit of searching I can across the Treasure Island bundle by Iain Lovecraft which fit the bill perfectly. Plenty of minis, terrain and even ships – which might actually now fit on my new printer.
Very pleased with how these first prints came out. Aside from a couple of calibration prints, these were the first things I’ve printed on the Saturn 2 and the detail is great and so far no failures.
