The Elegoo Jupiter 2 is a large-format resin 3D printer with a 14-inch 16K LCD screen, a build volume of 302.40 × 161.98 × 300 mm, and an XY resolution of 20 × 26 microns. Unveiled at RAPID+TCT 2025 and officially launched in April 2026 at a price of €899 (with a Super Early Bird discount of €799 between April 15 and 28), it is designed for advanced makers, professionals, and small studios who need to print large parts or full batches in a single run, without sacrificing 16K detail.
In this article I'll cover everything I've been able to confirm about this machine: official specs, key improvements over the original Jupiter, who it's really aimed at, and how it fits within the Elegoo lineup alongside the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K and the Mars 5 Ultra. No filler, no rumors: only what Elegoo and the international technical press have confirmed.
And if you already have yours and want to know more about the resins that work best at Mr Resin, here's a link to the complete Elegoo resin catalog.
What is the Elegoo Jupiter 2?
The Jupiter 2 is Elegoo's new large-format resin 3D printer, officially unveiled at RAPID+TCT 2025 and commercially launched on April 15, 2026. It replaces the original Jupiter and the Jupiter SE in the lineup, and is positioned as "the giant 16K, built for pros" (as Elegoo describes it on their own website).
Unlike the previous Jupiter models, this new version introduces a dual front-door design, an automated resin management system, and a clearly more professional focus, without losing the consumer-friendly pricing that defines the brand.

What print volume does the Jupiter 2 have?
The Jupiter 2 offers a print volume of 302.40 × 161.98 × 300 mm, which equals approximately 14.6 litres of usable space. It is the largest print volume in Elegoo's entire Jupiter series and one of the largest on the consumer market in 16K MSLA technology.
To give you an idea of what this means:
- Miniatures: you can print 40-60 miniatures at 32 mm scale (Warhammer-type) in a single run, depending on support density.
- Busts/figures: a full A4-sized bust fits perfectly in vertical orientation.
- Functional parts: industrial prototypes, casings, molds, and large-format technical parts fit with room to spare.
- Jewelry and dental: hundreds of small pieces in a single batch print.
Interestingly, despite being the Jupiter with the largest usable volume, Elegoo has managed to make it physically more compact than the original Jupiter and the Jupiter SE. This is made possible by the internal redesign and the dual front door system, which optimizes access without requiring a larger chassis.
What resolution does the Jupiter 2's 16K screen have?
The Jupiter 2's mono LCD screen is 14 inches with a true 16K resolution, meaning 15,120 × 6,230 pixels. This translates to an XY resolution of 20 × 26 microns (0.020 × 0.026 mm).
Here's an important nuance that tends to confuse people: having 16K does not automatically mean more detail than a smaller 12K screen. What matters is the effective pixel size (XY resolution), which depends on how those pixels are distributed across the usable area.
XY resolution comparison between Elegoo flagship models
| Model | Screen | XY Resolution | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra | 7" 9K | ≈18 microns | Small |
| Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K | 10" 16K | ≈17 microns | Medium |
| Elegoo Jupiter 2 | 14" 16K | 20 × 26 microns | Large (14.6 L) |
The conclusion is clear: if you're looking for maximum absolute detail on small parts, the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K will give you a smaller pixel size. But if what you need is to combine an enormous print volume with excellent, uniform resolution across the entire surface, the Jupiter 2 is the best Elegoo has produced to date in large format.
Additionally, the minimum layer height is 0.01 mm (10 microns). To put that into perspective: most resin printers typically print at layer heights of 0.05–0.10 mm. This means that layer lines on the Jupiter 2 are virtually invisible to the naked eye, even on large-format parts.
What's new in the Jupiter 2 compared to the original Jupiter?
The Jupiter 2 is not a simple update. It's a complete redesign with several innovations that are worth highlighting one by one.
1. Automatic resin feeding system
Probably the most interesting new feature for anyone who has suffered through a large print and had to keep watching the resin level. The Jupiter 2 incorporates a resin management system with a bidirectional pump and external 2 kg bottle that:
- Automatically refills the vat when the level drops
- Empties the vat back into the bottle when you need to change materials
- Alerts you when the external bottle runs out of resin (before it lets you down)
In practice, this means you can launch a 4-8 hour print and forget about it. The system maintains the optimal level without intervention. When the Elegoo container arrives at Mr Resin (see Elegoo resin catalog), the 2 kg bottle will be the standard format for those with the Jupiter 2.
2. Intelligent vat heating to 30 °C
Resin behaves much better at a stable temperature. Below 25 °C, viscosity increases and adhesion problems, layer lines, and failures in fine details begin to appear. The Jupiter 2 keeps the vat at a constant 30 °C, which improves:
- Resin fluidity
- Adhesion between layers
- Sharpness in small details
- Consistency of results between winter and summer
This detail is especially relevant if you print in garages, storage rooms, or cold rooms in winter.
3. Multi-point auto-leveling with 4 force sensors
No more "paper method." The Jupiter 2 uses four independent force sensors that calibrate the build plate at multiple points automatically. And if you prefer to level manually, the system offers real-time feedback to do it without error.
On a printer with a 302 mm X diagonal, a leveling error of 0.05 mm can ruin an entire print. Having automated multi-point leveling is an enormous qualitative leap over the Jupiter SE.
4. Modular design for quick maintenance
Two consumables that every resin printer owner hates replacing: the FEP/ACF film and the LCD screen. Elegoo has redesigned both:
- FEP film replacement: 10 seconds with a tool-free quick-lock system (goodbye screws)
- LCD replacement: 10 minutes, modular, with sealing that prevents resin leaks
If you've ever lived through a FEP replacement on a traditional printer, you'll understand that this is pure gold. Especially on a machine of this size where handling the vat is awkward.
5. Built-in camera with LED for timelapse
It comes with an internal camera with LED light that allows:
- Real-time monitoring via the Elegoo Matrix App
- Automatic timelapse recording
- Visual failure detection without having to approach the machine
6. Smart mechanical LCD protection sensor
Detects solid resin residue that could damage the LCD screen during printing, and automatically pauses if a risk is detected. It also alerts you to leveling errors or insufficient resin. It's an extra layer of security that saves costly repairs.
7. LED thermal protection
If the LED temperature exceeds 80 °C, the Jupiter 2 automatically pauses printing. This extends the lifespan of the lighting system and prevents prints from being damaged by overheating during long sessions.
8. Power failure resume
If the power goes out during a 5-hour print, the Jupiter 2 resumes exactly where it left off when power is restored. No losses, no wasted resin.
Who is the Jupiter 2 aimed at?
This 3D printer is not for everyone. Given its price (€899), size, and features, it has a fairly defined audience. These are the profiles that get the most out of it:
Profile 1: Advanced miniature and figure maker
If you print large batches of miniatures for Warhammer, D&D, board games, or entire armies, the Jupiter 2 lets you run a single overnight print with 40–60 miniatures instead of multiple runs. Massive time savings and guaranteed consistency. The 20 × 26 micron resolution is more than sufficient to capture all the detail of a standard miniature.
Profile 2: Professional / small studio
Designers, content creators, prototyping studios, dental consultancies, jewelry businesses... The 14.6-liter volume and automatic resin feeding system allow you to produce small runs without becoming a slave to the machine. It's a true workhorse.
Profile 3: Digital sculptor and artist
If you sell figures or STLs and need high-quality masters in large format (full busts, 25–30 cm figures), the Jupiter 2 is a tool that lets you bring your work to life at 1:1 scale without cutting or joining pieces.
Profile 4: Makerspace, university, or FabLab
Cluster printing via Wi-Fi (you can have multiple Jupiter 2 units running in sync), monitoring via the Matrix App, and the modularity for quick maintenance make it ideal for shared-use environments.
Who the Jupiter 2 is NOT for
Let's be honest:
- Complete beginners: if this is your first resin 3D printer, it's overkill. A Mars 5 Ultra or a Saturn 4 are much better entry points.
- Those who only print individual miniatures: if you don't need the volume, the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K offers superior resolution (17 microns XY) for less money.
- Limited space: while it's more compact than the original Jupiter, it's still a large machine. Measure before you buy.
- Very tight budget: €899 is the retail price. You'll also need to factor in resin, accessories, and a washing/curing station.

Which resins work best with the Jupiter 2?
The Jupiter 2 is compatible with standard 405 nm resins, which is the range covered by virtually all commercial resins from Elegoo, Anycubic, and other major brands. That said, not all resins perform equally on a machine of this size.
With a 14.6-litre volume and a 16K screen, I recommend keeping these factors in mind when choosing a resin:
- Viscosity: with large volumes, highly viscous resins can cause uneven levelling issues. Elegoo addresses this with heating at 30 °C, but it's still worth choosing medium-viscosity resins.
- Light tolerance: since the Jupiter 2 uses COB with collimated Fresnel, light reaches the plate more uniformly than with traditional LED LCD. This helps "difficult" resins (translucent, ABS-Like) perform better.
- Value: for large prints, the resin cost per print is significant. It's worth investing in resins with a good quality-to-price ratio in large bottles (1 kg or 2 kg).
Recommended Elegoo resins for the Jupiter 2
- Elegoo Standard Resin 2.0: the all-rounder. Unbeatable value for general-purpose prints.
- Elegoo 8K Standard Resin: ideal for making the most of the 16K resolution (even though the name says 8K, it performs perfectly on higher-resolution screens).
- Elegoo ABS-Like Resin 3.0: for functional parts that require hardness and impact resistance.
- Elegoo Tough Resin: maximum toughness for mechanical prototypes.
- Elegoo Water-Washable Resin: to reduce post-processing time on large parts where cleaning with IPA is a pain.
We have a full article with the recommended settings for each Elegoo resin in case you want to fine-tune your parameters once you have it at home.
Jupiter 2 or Saturn 4 Ultra 16K? Which one is right for me?
This is the question I get asked most when talking about the new Elegoo range. The answer depends on what you're going to use the 3D printer for:
| Criteria | Saturn 4 Ultra 16K | Jupiter 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum detail on small parts | Winner (17 µm XY) | Very good (20-26 µm XY) |
| Print volume | Medium | Winner (14.6 L) |
| Automated resin management | No | Yes (auto-feed 2 kg) |
| Price | More affordable | More expensive |
| Best for | Miniatures, fine detail, hobby use | Large parts, production, professional use |
| Footprint | More compact | Larger |
My honest recommendation: if your number one priority is printing miniatures with the finest detail possible and your budget is limited, stick with the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K. If you need volume for your work or you are professionally involved in prototyping/production, the Jupiter 2 is an investment that pays for itself quickly thanks to the time savings it offers.
