Hello 3dpronting!

I am looking to get a resin printer as I have been reading they are better for smaller high detail prints. I am mainly looking to print miniatures for tabletop gaming.

I have been eyeing the Elegoo Mars 3 pro and the corresponding washing/curing station(Elegoo mercury plus 2 in 1).

Is this a good starting point? Am I biting off too much for a beginner?

    I started my foray into 3d printing with resin, too. It’s a steeper learning curve; it feels like I’ve broken and repaired everything on my Anycubic Photon 4k at least once, and I’ve slowly collected every slicer program there is (settled on Lychee slicer Pro), but I don’t have any regrets.

    Just make sure you have the space for it. Ideally you want a non-carpeted room with ventilation and temperature control. Doesn’t need to be big.

      This is good to hear that youve had a relatively good experience. Did you have to replace things due to your own inexperience or just because you used it so much?

      I was planning on just doing it in my garage with the garage door open and a fan blowing out. I think this would be enough vetilation of ventilation?
