New Elegoo Mars 3 - any advice for getting into resin
(lemmy.world)
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.
I hope you like this I am looking at getting the jupiter. Could you please give like a week or so of after in using it. I wont be using it for minis but large form things in resin. I hope this goes well for you.
