So a few weeks ago I broke the screen on my Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra, 100% my fault, I forgot to clean the tank after a print failure
So I bought a replacement screen, not cheap, but it was needed, and yesterday I fitted it, the instructional video is well, its this
You basically have to disassemble the entire machine to replace a CONSUMABLE part, its an absolute chew on and its an awful process
I am a big beliver in the right to repair, but this is the wrong way to go around it, I need 5 different sized allen keys, and there are so many different sized screw!
But I got it done and well its working, I was able to print out some Trench Crusade minis for Leon, but now I have run out of resin and won’t have anymore for at least a week!
What I Am Painting
I started out the week by painting Marshall Drier for the Death Korps of Krieg
Alongside a unit of Death Riders
After that it was a unit of Guardian Defenders for the Arldari
And then I added two units of Myrmidon Destructors that I 3D printed for my Mechanicum
So what up next?
- Blood Angels Landspeeders
- Heretic Legion Warband
- Nemesis Dreadknight
- Howling Banshees x 10
- Ork Boyz x 20
- Black Templars Intercessors x 5 & Marshall
- Panzer 38T
- Heartyn Warriors x 10
- Acolyte Hybrids x 5 & Acolyte Iconward
- Death Korp Squad x 10
What I Am Reading
I finished Choose Your Enemies by Sandy Mitchell, and have now started on Soul Music by Terry Prachett

It was a loss, I am struggling to score in later turns so considering adding in some 10 men Lasrifle Sections in a mix of Arvus Lighters and Aurox’s
Plus dropping some Vanquishers for Demolishers, the Vanquisher is very unreliable in 3.0 whereas the Demolisher is proving to be a lot more able to hit and do damage
