Here is my brand new (second hand) Elegoo Mars 3 printer.

I’ve had some experience with FDM but this is my first time with resin.

Current progress:

  • Brought a VOC face mask and nitrile gloves. Do I need UV glasses?
  • ordered soy based resin and a wash/cure station
  • installed and found chitubox slicer isn’t great
  • don’t understand plug drilling and hollowing
  • plan to paint mimi’s from it. Advice on painting resin?

I know some of this is basic but I felt it might promt interesting conversation.

You also probably want to put the resin printer in a well ventilated area, as resin printers can also release particles into the surrounding air (and you really don’t want to be breathing that in)

I’ve got a plan to put it next to a room with a window. Not sure how the curtains might block that as I think I need those to block the light. Maybe a fan to push air out.

Vent system would be important IMO. One option is a 4" duct with an inline fan, put the printer and wash stations in a box or vent hood of some kind and vent that outside.
