Pros

  • +218x123mm plate fits a full Warhammer squad in one run, not two
  • +12K resolution holds up just as well as the Mars at 14K for most print sizes
  • +Tilt release is worth it at this plate size: peel forces on large prints are brutal without it
  • +Terrain and base tiles look genuinely stunning at this resolution

Cons

  • Resin consumption goes up fast when you're filling a plate this size
  • Post-processing for a full plate run takes 45-60 minutes minimum
  • The purifier helps but a plate this big curing kicks up more fumes

What Owners Say

Batch-printing a full Warhammer army on this thing is a dream come true.

If you've outgrown the Mars, the Saturn is the obvious next step.

Verdict

Upgrade from the Mars when the build plate becomes the bottleneck. Terrain, busts, full squads in one run: this is where it makes sense. If you're just printing individual minis, the Mars 5 Ultra saves you $175.
