Product notes
Lot of Replacement Parts Hardware for ELEGOO Mars 1/2/3/4/5 [Stripped & Tested]
If you already own an ELEGOO Mars and need to rebuild it, this used parts lot gives you most of the printer's anatomy in one package: the whole upper half above the red aluminum panel, the mid panel with threaded holes for vat tank knobs, the whole lower half with UV light, touch screen, and mainboard, plus the Z axis assembly. The listing says the parts are stripped and tested, but the LCD is not included. That's the main limitation: you'll need to source a replacement LCD separately, and you're working with used components that may need inspection before reassembly. Choose this lot when you want broad coverage for a Mars repair project and already have or plan to buy the LCD.
Shimadzu 228-43969-91 Hardware CONSUMABLES Kit 460-08782 REV.E
This Shimadzu hardware consumables kit is identified by model 228-43969-91 and revision 460-08782 REV.E, with Japan as the country of origin. That specific part number makes it easy to match against a Shimadzu equipment list. It's listed as excess inventory, so the particular unit you receive could show signs of wear, blemishes, scratches, or discoloration. The practical limitation is the condition risk that comes with excess inventory: the unit you receive may not be cosmetically perfect. Choose this kit when you need a Shimadzu consumables part with a clear model identifier.
Final choice by use case
- Rebuilding an ELEGOO Mars printer: The ELEGOO parts lot is the better fit for broad component coverage.
- Restocking with a specific Shimadzu part number: The Shimadzu kit is the clear choice.
- Component coverage vs. part-number precision: Pick the ELEGOO lot when you need broad, printer-specific components; pick the Shimadzu kit when you need a clearly identified consumables part.
