Comment on returning to SLA-resin printing: Which printer, curing station & resin?

Elegoo are my goto for resin printing, they are one of the more open manufacturers, and their ABS-like 3.0 is actually very ABS like. I use it a lot for model railway parts and it goes very well.
I use a Saturn 2, but either Saturn 4 or Mars 5 (ultra has more features but ofc more expensive) would do well. their Mercury wash and cure stations go quite well. I still use Isopropyl for washing, but they do a resin cleaner mix that sone swear by.

A note on the Mercury wash station: despite being sold in a bundle with the Saturn 4 ultra, the build plate of the Saturn 4 series does not fit in the tub, so I would not recommend it for those printers.

This is true, but I dont think any will fit the saturn build plate, or none I am aware of. I just take the prints off the supports or plate and put them in the wash basket.

Recomendation?
The buildplate should fit to make it easy to use.
