So I was just wondering what is, in your opinion the best Resin printer to get that just works like how Bambu printers in the FDM space just seem to work.

Or

Just what resin printer would you recommend purchasing?

I have a mars 3 and looking to upgrade to maybe a Saturn 4 ultra because I want a bigger build plate and auto leveling seems nice so it’s one less step I need to do.

Yeah I use water resin already. And I also have a dryer vent setup that takes the fumes and vents them outside. I like my mars 3 but I seem to have to tinker a lot with it. Might just be me always thinking my plate isn’t level though.

Unless your prints are failing often, you can leave the plate as is. I got a Creality Halot Mage (Saturn clone) and I have to re-level that thing after every 2 prints. The difference is enough to make several prints fail if I use the right side of the screen, as the base layers won't even adhere to the plate. Part of the problem might be the FEP I'm using, which seems too "sticky"
