Rumors are swirling around the upcoming Elegoo Mars 5 — and this time, it’s not just another iterative resin upgrade. Early images and leaked spec sheets suggest a dual-screen configuration, potentially bringing layer visualization and touch-free calibration to the budget MSLA market.
Here’s what we know so far:
- 📺 Primary monochrome screen remains standard for exposure
- 🖥️ Secondary control/display screen sits above the build area — possibly for real-time slicing visualization or camera integration
- 🧼 Auto-resin leveling system hinted in firmware strings
- 🌀 Improved air filtration unit with replaceable carbon cores
- 🧠 New UI with “projector-style preview mode” mentioned by testers
If these leaks hold true, the Mars 5 could mark a major shift in resin printer UX design, closing the gap between entry-level and prosumer models without breaking the $400 mark.
Elegoo has not confirmed any of this — but pre-release units appear to be in the hands of select YouTubers, with video teasers expected before the end of the month.
