My third printer and I am very happy with it. The build plate is smaller but that’s why I got it,I had a small space left and it slotted right in.
Worked great for a couple prints and then the screen failed, still awaiting replacement screen, edited from original, elegoo have sent the replacement screen and now the unit has been working great, they sent some free resin for my troubles and comms from the warranty team were frequent. Happy with the purchase especially for the price I paid
Amazing little printer for the price. It’s quite a learning curve for a complete beginner, but that would be true for any machine. The build plate is big enough for miniatures and setup is fairly straightforward. The filter that is included really does cut down on the smell. Contains everything you need to get started except the resin. Very happy!
I have had this for a month and it works great but elegoo customer service is fantastic, one little thing and that’s a small amount of half cured resin builds up in the corner of the vat every print, not an issue as just scrapes off but hopefully it’s not an LCD issue, apart from that, prints come up perfec
Nice piece of kit , my son is very happy with it been printing off all his Dungeons & Dragons figures with it.
This is my first resin printer and am very impressed. I come from FDM printing so not a total novice. The detail and ease of printing are amazing. The only downside is the obvious clean up afterwards but that comes with any resin printer.
Everything has come out great straight out of the box. It took me a couple of tries to level and tighten the build plate, but it is worth taking your time to get it right. I’ve had no problems at all since. Love this little printer.
This product was my second attempt at getting into resin printing, after trying a different brand product that was sent out faulty. Very happy with this printer:
The detail and quality is very high.
It consistently manages to read my sliced files with few exceptions.
Cleaning and levelling is a manageable process.
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!

This printer has been absolutely fantastic for me. Coming from FDM I was prepared to have a metric ton of calibration troubles in getting the printer to print fine. But to my amazement, printing in resin has been far easier for me than FDM. The stunning detail you get from this machine is amazing, you can see some of my prints in the images.
It has a very simple to use UI and the slicing software (Chitubox) is also incredibly simple to use. Sure there are other things you will need to learn such as how to properly support each model for printing. How your settings change based on the type of resin you are using (grey resin vs translucent resin) but Elegoo have two Excel sheets available via their website which documents the best settings to use for each resin on each of their machines (Elegoo branded resin).
This printer has been a blast and can make some very awesome intricate display pieces for painting.
Instructions are not the best for setting up and configuring. The test files kept failing but once I set up my own files they started working, still don’t understand why.
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.

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.

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

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
Outstanding.
The machine is so simple,so easy,so logical to use. The term plug in and play is so appropriate here. So little needed to understand and set up, I was printing within 20 minutes of opening the box.
The machine and it’s parts are expertly and professionally made and assembled. It feels expensive while being within the lower to mid range of price for a printer.
The software to help you make a print, best I’ve seen. So intuitive and easy to learn. Helps you along the way and almost knows what you want to do next in making the file ready .
Printing, easy as everything else. Plug in, press a few buttons and go watch a movie. No need to watch it print as you used to on a old filament printer. Prints come out with exact details as the file that makes them. I’ve made tabletop miniatures that have more details that the “big” names in the business, the “big” names that charge a mortgage payment to get a few items that now cost me a few cups of coffee.
I had a issue with the screen. I wasn’t sure how to word or search for the issue so I emailed Elegoo in the off chance of help.
Got my response back within a day and even then, I had a apology for a late reply. I’m getting all the help I need, a free replacement part jsit incase it’s the issue and I’m getting a non copy paste response each time.
Elegoo is the company we wish all others would be. Great product, customer friendly product, well made, affordable and outstanding customer service .
TLDR – Buy Elegoo and be assured knowing that you are getting quality and support throughout your 3D printing journey.
Excellent quality 3D printer bought as a present for my grandson he said it’s amazing would highly recommend i
