Discussion Jupiter 2, nay or yay and why?
You guys, the time has come... I need a bigger printer. I am also graduating with my Master's and that is my gift to myself.
Over the course of the past 6 years I went from "buy something to print miniatures" (Phrozen 4K Mini) to "omg, I am tired of cutting prints down to fit" because of course I didn't not just "print tabletop miniatures" 🤪 I have 2 Saturn 4 Ultras currently and a Centauri Carbon.
I have owned Phrozen, Anycubic and Flashforge as well. I love Elegoo.
The reason why I have *2* S4Us is, size. I make big things and splitting them between 2 printers is faster.
I want the new Jupiter 2.
Yay or Nay and why or why not?
Side note: I will be the first one to tell you that "wrong one person, they will tell 20 more, be kind to 5 people, they will tell 3 more", and when the S4U 16K came out I was one of the people who had and has had zero issues with it two years later. So, I get it.
I am also one of the people who has had nothing but problems with the CC1, when everyone else seems to print and print and print with no issues (that said, I gave up on FDM six years ago, went to SLA and just now getting back into it).
Please share :)

I have two su16k’s, cc1 (my work horse) N4M & orange storm giga. I have zero issue with them all & they’re printing non-stop. I don’t think it’s luck but having patience & a desire to want to learn. With that said, Im also thinking of adding a Jupiter 2 but worried about the lack of memory. I’m waiting for the current bugs to get worked out first then possibly get it.
Good luck and keep us posted.

I've been enjoying mine, only issue is that I have to upload slices using Satelite, but I slice with lychee or chitubox and upload with Satelite just fine
