Elegoo has introduced its first application today (June 27, 2025), designed to transform a user’s smartphone into a remote control for the company’s 3D printers.
Control Options
The app, named Matrix, is claimed to provide “precision” management over various printing parameters, such as layer settings, exposure durations, and additional configurations. Users can start or stop a print directly through the app, and it also allows for adjusting the printer bed if needed.
Real-Time Monitoring
Additionally, the app enables monitoring of the print’s advancement in real time, helping users ensure that the print doesn’t overheat or proceed too slowly. It can even offer a view into the printer, provided it has the necessary internal cameras. The Matrix app includes features for detailed print logs and historical data, which can help with troubleshooting and lead to smoother prints in the future.
Availability and Compatibility
Elegoo’s Matrix app is accessible for both iOS and Android devices and is compatible with the Saturn 4 Ultra’s 16K version, which is currently priced at $519.99 for Amazon Prime members.
This compatibility is expected to expand to include the Mars 5 Ultra and Saturn 4 Ultra 12K in the third quarter of 2025, along with functionality for the Jupiter 2 upon its upcoming release.
