Hello
I am new to the 3D printing world I am a Model Railroader and found a great new to have items made with a 3D printer. SO I just received my first 3D Resin Printer Elegoo Saturn. Was very excided when it arrived. I carefully removed it from the packaging. Followed the east to read instructions and got to the Test Printing page I copied a .gcode file from my computer that a friend gave me to the USB drive that was provided. I selected Print and found the file I added to the USB and then started to printing. That started yesterday at 9:40 PM was sitting at 1 % until I went to bed around 11:30 PM when i woke up today the screen showed the Print Job has Completed time 8 hrs 20 min. I took the cover off and saw no object The build plate never moved. I then went into tools and manually moved the build plate I left it at the very top this time and it still did not move into the resin.
Any one know what I am doing wrong here?
I hope this is enough information
Let me know if you required additional info
I am going to see about getting the firmware updated next.
Hello ALL
I got it working.
I leveled the Build Plate again followed a Youtube video guy did extra steps not in the manual
Then I choose a file supplied on the USB drive and now it is printing already at 3 % Last night stayed at 1% for hours.
The file I was trying to print was a gcode type file so I am going to use GHITUBOX software and slice the gcode file and see if that will print it.
Thanks
