This review is for the regular Mars3.
You will benefit from reading up on the resin printing process before purchase. Look up a few guides and videos to get a handle on the process before attempting yourself, especially if you are new to additive manufacturing.
You receive the printer along with a nice little toolkit including a plastic and metal scraper, cutters, resin filters, some facemasks (theatre only, see below), USB preloaded with software and necessary tools to assemble and operate. Everything is packed neat and well.
The preloaded USB comes with a test print of a pair of rooks. Unfortunately the print is set up to not use a raft or supports, so the bases of the rooks will practially weld themselves to the buildplate. The metal scraper and an uncomfortable amount of force had to be used to remove, which risked damage to the plate. Do yourself a favour and print a different model to test, or slice the STL yourself with a raft.
After this near disaster, I have run several prints and am very pleased with the results. It is a very capable machine for its size.
That said, the kit is incomplete. Do not expect to buy this, switch it on and start printing immediately. Here is a suggested shopping list with Amazon references (just put them in search!):
– Lots of Isopropl Alcohol (IPA) <> B082XQ4W4R
– A set of containers (airtight lunchboxes ideal) <> B09RW6XVHS
– A UV curing light & turntable <> B089N8LNHC
– Resin to print with <> B09FPK6RVQ & B09FPHVGVD
– Funnels <> B09WLL9VMV
– Nitrile gloves <> B00D8Z8L3C
– If you don’t have it, a nice sturdy surface to put it on <> B01FO9YUES
– Plenty of kitchen towels/filters
– Brushes
Finally, get yourself a VOC rated mask (B013EBJPPM works for me) to go with the gloves. This is IMPORTANT. You don’t want to be breathing or directly touching IPA or uncured resin. The masks included are simple coverings that do absolutely nothing in terms of dealing with the fumes from the resin and IPA. It will make working with this product safer and far more comfortable.
Overall, it’s a winner and reasonably priced to boot!
Great little printe
Bought this after a few days of research. The printer was pretty easy to set up. I would recommend watching some videos as there are a few details that could be missed if you are only using the included instructions. My prints have mostly been successful. Any fails have been mistakes by me. All in a great first SLA printer.
amazing printe
his is my second resin printer, and I’m super pleased with it. it prints a lot faster than my old printer and just as good if not better quality, easy setup and easy to use, highly recommended
Easy to use, very good client service
Had a little problem with FEP, client service sent a replacement without any fuss, very polite, good experience
Customer Service is beyond incredible
I have a few mars 2 machines. A lot of printers around this price point are the exact same thing with a different company behind them and design. The reason i love Elegoo so much is that their customer service is amazing. I had one product that was running into a couple of hiccups and they sent me replacement parts no questions asked. 1 day response times with troubleshooting even 4 months after purchase.
Amazing print quality for minis!
This is a great affordable 3D printer, easy to use and prints out very high-quality miniatures. Perfect for gaming and painting!
A brilliant toy
I got this as a gimmick and an introduction to 3d printing. It take a few goes to get adhesion when starting out but then you get the knack of it. The print quality it absolutely amazing. The detail is superb and the laser lines are virtually invisible. The prints are also really strong. Now I’ve played with it I’m going to use it for prototyping some industrial machine parts much cheaper than cnc
Amazing product and amazing service
Most amazing company ever, they are very friendly and helpful, whenever I have an issue with my printer I get a very quick response and they always help me to resolve the issue.
Printer is great, prints the highest quality prints and is easy to maintain, very highly recommend
Easy to use, great quality prints
After coming from filament printers, this was an absolute dream to set up in comparison and the print quality is great. When minis are painted they’re indistinguishable from branded bought ones.
Fantastic entry level experience
Great machine for first time printers and even experienced printers. Easy to use UI. Good solid build quality and very easy to maintain and repair/ upgrade. Vast range of resins can be used with it too so I’m spoilt for choice.
Unbelievably detailed models! - watch out this could be addictive!
As an avid wargamer of 30+ years – I had toyed with the idea of a 3D printer for a long time before deciding to purchase the Elegoo Mars 2. I was not disappointed!
The Elegoo Mars was very easy to assemble and use even for a complete novice. The Printer comes with test prints and clear instructions to perfect process before attempting your own prints. The software and printer is so easy to use ANYBODY could do this regardless of experience.
As a gamer I use a variety of different scales and styles from 28mm down to 6mm and the detail of the printing is beyond my wildest dreams. I’ve printed individual models, model ships and entire units.
Be warned that this is addictive! – 6 days later I purchased the Elegoo Mercury washer to speed up my cleaning process!
The machine is amazing and so is the customer support.
The printer is perfect in most ways. As long as you can stand a little bit of mess and clean up you’ll find it perfect for whatever you’re doing.
The customer service is absolutely incredible as well so any problems you have should be sorted quickly and easily.
Steep learning curve but lots of successes
I’ve wasted maybe a bottle of resin but also used 3 full bottles since end of December. Printed so many great models. And once you learn how to orient and support properly you’ll be laughing! Also made some huge models in multi parts and they look great…need to glue it all, now
A cool thing
The printer is well built and the printer software works well. It is quite easy to use. The demo print is a good start. So far I used it only with water washable resins and the results are good however the surfaces with supports don’t look too well, but they could be the less visible ones.
Good value
After printing everyday for 2 months. The printer is excelent. The datail the printer produces once tuned to the resin is could not be any better for the price.
I have had a few failed prints but due to my own fault with settings or the room temperature dropping.
The only downside I have is the mess can be made with the resin. I filled the vat up a little to much once as it does not have markings on the plasic one that comes with the printer and it overflowed and even flowed under the vat onto the screen. (if the metal ones I purcahsed seprately have a max marker on them).
The quality of the prints is nothing but excelent the detail can’t be faulted

Superb produc
Manual not too clear but plenty of YouTube vids to show what to do. Printer robust , well made producing exceptional results. I used the Elegoo resin which performs well and is already calibrated to the printer. It comes with free slicing software with takes a little time to get to grips with, but ultimately does its job very well. I’m a first timer regarding anything to do with 3D printing, and to say I am very happy with the outcome of what has been printed would be an understatement. Points to watch are temperature, happy between 20 -25 centigrade and make sure it is all levelled. Isopropyl Alcohol, cleans models and printer very well. Myminifactory and cults3d.com have a huge range of stl file to choose from, free and otherwise.
smelly and possibly poisonous
print quality was great straight out the box but the smell!!! really bad and read somewhere the fumes can kill you??! bought the carbon filters which barely do anything. looks like when we gets better weather I’m going have to electrify the shed and get proper extractor fans……
Nice prints, but hard to get working
Makes some really nice prints when you eventually get it working as the first few attempts the resin prints didn’t actually stick to the plate but after some googling for some answers to the issue, we finally managed it.
Fantastic piece of kit - be prepared!
Ok so I’ll just summarise. It’s a very good printer, the detail level is excellent, Chittu is a very easy to work with although I had to stay on V1.8 it’s compatible with most pdf 3D files. The printing Itself is not for beginners though and if you are buying this as a first printer be prepared and take it easy. Resin printing can be very hazardous so have everything laid out or risk having a very big problem.
Tips. Read the manual very carefully and take it step by step. Buy a quality mask by 3M, some nitrile gloves, safety goggles and invest in some quality isopropyl around 4-5 litres should do you. do a practice print and don’t be disheartened if it doesn’t work out, it took me 3 prints to get it down. Finally do a thorough clean up after printing and do it in a extractor or outside even the low odour still whiffs.
Great fun once you crack the basics
A great entry into resin 3d printers. I ordered a bottle of elegoos abs like resin to go with and was printing straight from the box. A few failures but many more successful prints. I recommend down loading a calibration print to dial in your settings. Oh and a half decent pc/laptop set up to use the slicing software included on the usb helps. Quality of prints is amazing, with some crazy levels of detail possible. The only downside is that if your using it to print minis like me … it’s so easy to use your likely to end up with an endless mountain of grey waiting for pai
Son and I have had our Mars 2 only for a few days so far. We’re both into railway modelling and have high hopes of producing various useful bits and pieces for our hobby.
We went through difficult times at first getting prints to adhere to the build plate despite careful calibration of the plate and exposure settings etc. but we’re starting to get successful prints now. From what I’ve read the test print (chess pieces) that comes with the printer can be tricky, which is probably not ideal for beginners. We fully expect there to be a learning curve and some trial and error to get things dialled in and printing reliably so we turned to some other designs and are now getting nice results.
If I have one criticism so far it’s that the resin vat could really do with a “pouring spout” in one corner to makes things easier when returning unused resin to the bottle via a funnel and filter. I notice there are 3rd party alternative vats which feature a spout and also offer top and bottom covers to fit over the vat. I would imagine they’re advantageous if you intend to swap to different colours and types of resin fairly regularly.
Very good!
This is the first 3D printer I have owned. All in all I’d say its really good. Although, this being my first printer, I have nothing to compare it too. But, all of my prints have been high quality, I am very impressed.
Astonishing easy to set up
After waiting for ages, out of trepidation., I finally opened the box ans set it up… Bingo bango first print worked out of the box. Did find the touch screen a bit difficult didn’t seem to want to consistently recognise my finger touch. Seems a firm tap rather than a touch. It’s a bit cold in the shed. Maybe that’s the cause I shall see later on when it warms up… Amazing for a first print. There isn’t a strong smell but one can tell when it’s in action. Not bad tho but not for the sitting room. And a low hum. I put Mine in the passage with a good airflow. Just bought a uv currer on special offer as it may not be sunny.. Washing in iso alcohol in a tupperware mug worked fine. ..
Prints grea
Printer prints in very high detail and is easy to use
I bought my Mars in January 2020 and have put it through its paces. I have taken several good models off it of which I am quite proud. The printer sadly developed a fault where the screen looked to have failed. After a couple of query emails to Elegoo support a brand new screen was dispatched. Awesome service on their part from my point of view.
Sadly the new screen didn’t fix the problem, but a quick email to Elegoo Support saw a new motherboard on its way this has now been fitted and I can get on with my printing with which I am more than happy with.
Easy amazing results
I really love this printer its very well packaged and easy to set up. The detail on the prints is amazing. If you want a resin printer i can’t speak too highly of this one

Easy for beginners
I’m new to resin printing and this is a very easy starter printer easy setup you could be printing withing 10/20 mins
Amazing piece of equipme
This product is phenomenal! There is nothing else to say. It feels sturdy and solid, the simple set up instructions when followed ensure the printer delivers first class prints every time. The system is simple to get to grips with and your imagination is simply the only limit. The build plate is relatively small but is capable of printing mini figures with no issues and larger prints are easy to produce with a little thought and planning by splitting models down and getting the supports right. Simply cannot fault this as a beginner resin printer.
Excellent Prints
A very solid piece of kit, that feels mechanically sound and very robust, the touch screen is adequate and knowing its type is also likely to be robust also, the package comes with a good set of starter accessories to get you going. The documentation is pretty light, its adequate for getting you setup and printing although it should have better clean up instructions in my opinion as I quickly started to scratch the film on my resin tray by using a poor cloth and procedure. The ChiChuBox software is impressive but on Windows 8 has the oddity of needing me to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del then Esc to get the open/save dialogues to display, Irksome but manageable. I would have given the entire package a solid 4 stars but its workflow is nice and easy and the crisp detail in the prints are simply so amazing I couldn’t give it anything less than a 5.
Along with the printer you will need to buy the Resin, Isopropyl Alcohol (1ltr will get you started), at least one or two clean containers (I used an old jam jars), plenty of paper towels and most importantly a micro fibre cloth to clean the resin tank (do not use the paper towels for that or anything else that’s abrasive).
Operate it in a ventilated area. When loading up and running its not too stinky but during clean up everything is exposed for longer. For the test Rook model I had to increase the exposure time of the base layer as the first print failed after about 8mm I think the elegoo grey resin simply needs a longer base exposure time than is saved in the model. I changed the 40 seconds to 80 which really stuck to the base, but will try 60 next, the model also had some artefacts in it either as a result of my changing the parameters or it may have been there originally, again if you can see them in chichubox I would probably recommend reimporting the stl file for your test print.
Amazing detail
Resin is the way forwards…. The elegoo mars 2 allows me, an old fdm guy to do the quality and precision I’ve never been able to make before…. Absolutely love it. Thank you elegoo… Amazing printer and highly recommended

Amazing printing for everyone
Where do I start on the Mars 2? I absolutely love it. I run a professional 3D printing business and now have a number of Elegoo printers, they are really great bits of kit and at a price that offers fantastic value. Somehow Elegoo manages to cut corners in all the right places to bring the price down without affecting the quality of the experience or the printing.
The Mars 2 is fast to print, easy to use, produces really high-quality prints, is on the quieter side and is simple to maintain. Most importantly though (as a business owner) it’s RELIABLE. Once you get to know this machine it will work and work and work. I use it everyday for customer orders and it’s probably my most trusted piece of kit. When it comes to resin printing this is a big deal because the clean-up from failed prints is at best a faff, and at worst an expensive and time-consuming issue.
The print quality is great and if you’re tempted to go for the more expensive 4k printers at this size I’d say it’s not the jump in quality you’d think. It’s really hard to tell the difference between a model printed on a 2k or 4k screen. You’d need some high-res photos to even notice it. It’s also worth noting that we’re only talking XY resolution here. All resin printers can go to the same Z resolution (layer height).
I’d really recommend buying the additional resin vats that Elegoo sell so you can quickly swap in different resins or be able to carry on printing if you have a print fail (all of the fails I’ve had with this machine have been my fault).
If you’ve never 3D printed or just need a bit of extra capacity – this is the printer for you.
Great begginer printe
This printer is great! Press to go and you get fantastic quality prints in a fraction of the time it takes my FDM printer. The learning curve is pretty steep when setting up the models in your slicer but the 3d printing community is fantastic so get on YouTube and watch as many guides on creating good supports as you can, it will help immensely. Would absolutely recommend for minatures and busts! For the price it’s a no doubt!
Brilliant little printer!
I’ve been struggling with a filament 3D printer & so decided to try a resin printer, so glad I did! Great deal from Amazon, followed the setup instructions, tried the Rook test print, perfect! Take care with the resins as instructed, pretty quick prints, stunning detail! Love it!
I got off the sidelines and I'm so glad.
I was looking for a new hobby and as an engineer I love to design and create. 3d printing seemed the right direction for me.
After careful consideration I chose the elegoo mars 2 and I’m so glad I did. The system is completely idiot proof and the quality of prints is incredible, I’ve been none stop designing and printing.
The system looks great on my desk and it’s quiet and sturdy. I love the simple to use touch screen control interface.
There were a few quality issues with one of the parts but elegoo were fast to send out replacement parts which were easy to fit and worked as intended. I couldn’t have asked for better customer service to be honest!
Anyone looking to take up 3d printing look no further. I would happily use elegoo products when I can afford to upgrade to a bigger system! I’ll be getting the Saturn next I think or even the new one they plan to release on Kickstarter.
It just works.
Got it out of the box, put the base on. Levelled it once. Poured water washable gloop in. Printed stuff. I have a ye olde FLSUN cube (heavily modified) but just wanted a small printer which I can just turn on and print. This did it. Washed the models in water and left them in the sun for a bit. The quality of small models is stunning. Only downside is it’s a bit smelly but no less smelly than a 12v PSU and heated bed melting plastic on a failed print. Love it. Got it for 180, still can’t quite believe it.
Incredible Quality
The Mars Pro is a phenomenal machine. The print quality produced is insanely detailed, able to print layers as small as 0.01mm, however you won’t need to go that small, the detail at 0.05 and 0.03 is still incredible.
I’ve personally had some issues with my own printer; but the support has been fantastic. And after a few days of troubleshooting (time-zone difference) Elegoo have found the issue and are replacing the parts needed.
Fantastic kit, fantastic support.
Look forward to using more of Elegoo’s offerings!
Great Printer, great customer service.
I have found it fairly easy to set up and print some amazing quality prints. No smell, no noise and acceptable print times.
After a small mishap with a failed print elegoo customer service have been great about ensuring I am able to get back to printing as soon as possible at no extra cost.
I would recommend this printer to any one as a first 3D printer.

Great hobbyist 3D printe
I bought this 3printer to print miniatures for table top games, like Dungeons and Dragons. The model details are great and the printer is very friendly to beginners. Comes with all the tools needed and the software included is very easy to use and user friendly. The printer is easy to maintain, doesn’t produce fumes and it’s noise levels are not that high, so it’s good for a regular apartment use.
The support from the manufacturer is excellent and they are fast to reply to your questions.
Strongly recommend this printer.
Great firts printe
Have had a printer and its perfect for printing D&D mini’s.
The after sales service team have been fantastic with fast response to any queries.
Great quality prints. Not for beginners.
Print quality is great, if a little slow. Can have a tendency to fail if you don’t know what you’re doing
Great machine for beginners quick to set up and use
Great machine quick to set up easy to use but don’t forget you will need resin as it does not come with any and I would also get more fep sheets and uv light covers
Elegoo Mars - Supurb Workhorse
This was my first resin printer to work alongside my CR10. I found it very easy to set up and use and the print quality is very impressive.
I have used a number of different resins on this printer and the Elegoo mars handled them like a champ.
The user support from Elegoo itself is very impressive and the community surrounding the printer itself was able to help me with questions I had.
My only wish was that the build volume was bigger but I guess this means I should upgrade!
Great starting printe
Bought this to print models for my board games and table top RPGs. No hassle to set up and I was printing models after about 1 hour. The 3D prints are really good quality. I really cannot recommend this piece of kit enough for someone looking to get started in resin 3D printing.
Get for fine details and smooth prints
I used this printer for interchangeable stop motion puppet faces and it worked perfectly. The quality of the prints are great, and it really manages to print out finer details. I’m also a huge fan of this resin printer as it does have very thin layers, which minimises the amount of visable lines.

This printer is amazing
Just does exactly what its designed to do! print quality is great.
Only downfall was the measuring cup was split because they stuff gloves and a usb stick in i
Love it!!!!!!
Easy to use for a noob like myself.
Print quality is awesome.
It makes me happy =)
Elegoo Mars 3d Resin Printe
Excellent machine bit of a learning curve first time with resin printing. I found the print kept sticking to the tray need a bit of lube on it and I put some hairspray on the build plate to help it stick as it prints upside down.
Many sound a bit daft but I found it worked for me. Going on YouTube was a great helpand
The wash and cure machine is a god send nice and clean.
Absolutely amazing printer and perfect prints
As with every printer it takes a bit of time to dial in the correct settings but absolutely love this printer, I originally bought the standard Elegoo Mars and as soon as I realised the Mars 2 pro was a well deserved upgrade I purchased one! Since then I’ve never looked back and I am absolutely happy with my purchase, my next step is the Saturn to see what difference printing will make on a larger scale
Amazing little machine
Really easy to set up and use – some people advise to skip the test print because it sticks a little _too_ well to the build platform.
perfect quality of both prints and machine
I bought this after returning a different printer owing to the machine having physical problems. it’s slightly more detail than others in its price range and just as easy to use, 100% perfect for any beginner that wants a machine that will last them a while, although I haven’t put that theory to the test yet, having only been 3d modelling and printing for a few months. haven’t had to contact tech support for anything involving this printer so you can go ahead and ignore that rating.
I’ve had problems related to the resin of the same brand, namely the yellow, but nothing wrong that can be attributed to the machine except one small issue, the stop function of the printer doesn’t stop it right away it delays, so if you need ot rush and stop something because you’ve dropped something in your resin before putting the lid back on, you may have to reallign the build plate, which can be frustrating, but not enough to deduct a star, just because it’s only ever caused by user error.
Very simple to use for a novice
These resin printer is an amazing price for what you get.
It’s simple to use although as with all new thing there a few tips and tricks to learn to get the best results.
As with all types of 3D printing there are lots of forums as well as youtube videos not to mention a lot of peaple willing to help in the hobby.
Perfect as a first or even second printer!
So… decided to try this printer after reading many reviews. Was a toss up between this and Anycubic.
The only reason I bought this one was the price. A fair bit cheaper. I’m sure both are just a good as each other though!
Test print was good. One model failed to adhere to print bed , but other model was flawless.
Upped the layer time on the initial layers.
95% of prints now are perfect.
Bought another as it was on offer!
3D Printinf made simple
Loving 3D printing. It is a hobby in it’s own right. There’s a learning curve in understanding how things print best but once you print something successfully it’s really satisfying.

we find water base resin best. But its all trial and error
Overall very simple and fast printer, amazing value for money and wished i had bought it for my hubby soone

Amazing quality prints and super fas
Super easy to use, the build plate doesn’t really need much to level out as it does it itself. Prints are extremely high quality and detail, and very fast, i typically print at 2.5 seconds per layer with no issues.
Well until recently, I’d had the printer for nearly 8 months before i’d had to change the FEP film because i’d had so few failures, the resin finally leaked through and ruined the polarising layer on lcd screen. However, elegoo have agreed to send me a free replacement! Excellent customer service.
My previous experience was with an anycubic photon, it failed 60% of the time, took forever to print anything and the details just weren’t there compared to this. Their customer service sucked and eventually the printer just became unusable so i got this as a replacement and i’m extremely happy with it.
