With Anycubic announcing their Anycubic Photon M5s, 12K resolution resin 3D-printer last week. Elegoo is launching a similar printer in a few days, called the Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra 12K resin 3D-printer. We say similar, but it looks like this is almost the same printer if we look at the available resin 3D-printing specifications.
Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra vs. Anycubic Photon M5s 12K resin 3D-printer
The available specifications of the Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra vs. the Anycubic Photon M5s are listed below. learn more in this article about the actual testing of the Elegoo Saturn 3 vs. Anycubic Photon M5s printers in our laboratory!

Looking at the available specification, the printers are quite similar. Anycubic claims auto-leveling of the build plate. what extra features Elegoo offers is still to be seen.
