Hi Denise thanks for the review! This one looks like a good choice for resin, I'm not an expert in 3D printing though so I would like to ask are there better materials to print with nowadays? Besides resin I mean, is there like a metal printer with the same resolution as this one? What's the best material to print with if price is not an issue?

I have the original Saturn and drop the whole build plate straight in to the Mercury washing station. There's a note on Elegoo's website that say this isn't possible with the Saturn 4 Ultra. Can you go in to more detail about that part of the process?

It also seems like the multitier build plate would be impossible to wipe clean and would result in lots of drips around the workspace and old resin getting gooped up inside there. Does it come apart? How easy is the plate to clean? With the original Saturn, I'd just put a little IPA on a paper towel and wipe it down. Very easy, no mess.
