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?
This is great thanks for the info! I didn’t realize the alcohol has to be such a high %. Do you find it expensive to have to have that much high % alcohol on hand?
How often do you need to replace it? (Every print? Every other print?)
I’ve been using my resin printer for about a year and I’ve only had to swap my alcohol once, but it can also be cleaned fairly easily with pure alum powder.
I personally use ethanol rather than isopropyl because a friend of mine is allergic to isopropyl, and it works just fine. The fumes are also less harmful from ethanol.
Still wear a respirator when using it though.
