Elegoo Saturn Print Examples

Elegoo Saturn 3D print project USS Tigrone, bridge just off the printer

This post is long over due and the printer that created these print examples is now well past it’s sell by date. That said, I still wanted to post a collection of print examples from my Original Elegoo Saturn 3D printer as I’ve found it to be a tremendously capable and reliable printer.

I’m also hoping that seeing what a now obsolete resin 3D printer can do in the hands of an amateur, may inspire a few creative types to take the plunge! Again, that said: For the Love of God! read up on my earlier Saturn and LD-002r posts to more fully see what you might be getting into!

Once again, that said: Worth it!

Welcome

Hi I’m Joe, the scale model guy.

I chose the site name: scaleModelGuy.com, for many, many reasons. The most compelling being that all the better names were taken and yeah, I do like building scale models.
You can check out my projects and reviews from the vertical picture menu at right (below for mobile).

Some of you may wonder if I’ve pilfered much of my content from Foobuggy.com.
Yes I did.
But it’s OK.
I was the Foobuggy.com guy too.

Foobuggy was my personal site and was being overrun with model building ramblings and posts and not surprisingly, cat and foliage pictures weren’t a big hit with the scale modeling community.
Changes had to be made.

If you visit a few of my project pages you may see a fair number of them are 3D printed models that I’ve built with either my Ender 3 Pro or Da Vinci Mini printers (Edit: I’ve added: LD-002r & Saturn resin printers). 3D printing will likely be either the death or future of the scale model building hobby.
Probably both.
Today’s manufactures may struggle and fail, while the hobbyists thrive.
Change is inevitable.

Anyway, it’s a great time to be a modelist!
Hope you like the new site.

Joe – the SMG.

It may look like you can post, the site may even let you waste hours typing all manner of praise for my tiny plastic art works, but when you click submit… Nada.
