Resin printers, CoreXY machines and the kits that teach electronics
Two businesses share the name. One is 3D printing: the Mars and Saturn resin printers, the CoreXY Centauri 2 and the Mercury wash stations. The other is electronics: UNO boards, ESP-32 boards and starter kits. The Super Starter Kit has more than 16,000 ratings.
ELEGOO prints good specifications on its resin machines, and its kits come with real tutorials. Its Arduino-compatible boards use the same USB chip as the originals.
Some listings leave out figures. The Centauri 2 page prints no build volume, and the Mars 5 prints no XY figure. Check ELEGOO’s site before you plan around a number.
