Main Product Advantages
9 Price-to-Performance Ratio
Highly praised for its affordable price point relative to its high quality and print capability, making it an excellent value for both beginners and advanced users.
8 Printing Quality
Users report high fidelity prints with excellent detail, surpassing expectations for a budget resin printer. Some issues with failed prints were generally attributed to user error and not the printer itself.
8 Customer Support
ELEGOO provides strong customer support and timely responses to hardware issues, contributing to overall positive user experience.
7 Printing Speed
Print speed is noted as good, though not significantly faster than previous models like the Mars 3. Adjustments may be needed to get optimal settings.
7 Build Volume
Capable of printing multiple small items efficiently. While the volume is ample for most needs, users who print larger objects may find it limited.
7 Build Quality
Solid construction with some caveats such as a plastic base that can accumulate resin and more frequent FEP failures than some users expected.
7 Features
Comes with useful features like factory-installed screen protectors and double cooling fans, though missing options like easy replacement screen protectors.
6 Ease of Setup
Generally straightforward setup, but some users experienced difficulties with leveling the build plate. Initial setup may require some adjustments and re-leveling.
6 Software
Included software like CHITUBOX is customizable but can present bugs. Users recommend staying with stable versions and avoiding beta releases.
5 Durability
Mixed experiences with durability; some users encountered issues with FEP and LCD failures early on. Ensuring correct resin and settings can mitigate some issues.
9.1-inch 6K Mono LCD
The ELEGOO MARS 4 Max features a 9.1-inch monochrome LCD screen with an impressive resolution of 5760x3600 and an XY resolution of 34um. This allows for a printing speed of up to 70mm/H. Adding to its durability, the 9H hardness tempered glass protects the LCD screen from scratches and resin damage, thanks to its excellent light transmission properties.
COB+ Refractive Light Source
This 3D printer adopts the COB+ refractive light source to ensure that the emitted 405nm wavelength beam is more vertical and uniform across the entire LCD screen. Paired with a full grayscale anti-aliasing algorithm, the printer produces models with finer, more realistic details and smoother surfaces.
Large Build Volume
With a generous build volume of 195.84x122.4x150mm (7.71x4.81x5.9 inches), the ELEGOO MARS 4 Max provides ample creative space for larger models or multiple parts in batches, thus significantly increasing your productivity.
Efficient Heat Dissipation
The printer is equipped with a double fan cooling system design. One fan handles air intake while the other manages air output, resulting in faster air circulation and higher heat dissipation efficiency. This not only ensures optimum performance but also extends the service life of the 3D printer.
Voxeldance Tango Software
The ELEGOO MARS 4 Max offers three printing modes: static mode and dynamic mode (including smooth and high-speed mode). In dynamic mode, the printing speed adjusts based on the printed model's cross-section. When the cross-section is small, the lifting speed increases for better efficiency, and vice versa. Additionally, the new open-source GOO slicing format developed by ELEGOO supports multiple slicing software without restriction.
Conclusion
The ELEGOO Mars 4 Max MSLA 3D Printer stands out with its high-resolution 9.1-inch 6K Mono LCD, innovative COB+ refractive light source, and large build volume. Its efficient heat dissipation system and versatile printing modes offer enhanced performance and extended durability. Combined with the flexibility provided by the Voxeldance Tango Software, this 3D printer is a robust and versatile tool for both hobbyists and professionals.
