So I was just wondering what is, in your opinion the best Resin printer to get that just works like how Bambu printers in the FDM space just seem to work.

Or

Just what resin printer would you recommend purchasing?

I have a mars 3 and looking to upgrade to maybe a Saturn 4 ultra because I want a bigger build plate and auto leveling seems nice so it’s one less step I need to do.

Well, I should say that fdm certainly has its place. I do a lot of part prototyping, for something that I might need to print 5 or 6 different versions of, I'm 100% going to use my fdm printer.

Resin printers imo are really only good for things you want to look pretty or have shapes too complex to achieve with fdm. If it's something that prints easily and doesn't need immaculate quality, [and you have an fdm printer that doesn't make you want to commit war crimes (like the ender 3)] fdm is less annoying.
