I use my printer for devotional statues and spiritual items, and artistic sculpture masters for pouring molds etc and mass producing statues for Santa Muerte in particular which is another common scene that needs a resin printer, thank u so much for the video very informative.

I'm absolutely new to 3D Resin Printing, although I have two K1 Max printers that I've been using for several months. I've just acquired a second-hand Elegoo Saturn 3 12K printer and a wash/cure station. I've not attempted to print anything yet, I'm just getting all the bits and bobs that I need together before diving in. This video has given me so much information and I'm very grateful for you taking the time to explain, in layman's terms, what I need to know to get resin printing.

I'm hoping that you are going to create a further tutorial on how to add supports in a slicer program, in your particular informative style, as all the tutorials that I've previously seen appear to go through the process at 'warp speed' and it's very difficult to follow the process when you get to my pensionable age! Thank you so much for your help.

Hey, thanks for the tips. What settings do you use for your Anycubic ABS-Like Pro 2 resin? I just ordered some, but dont know if I need to change my exposure settings. I use the Saturn 4 Ultra. Thanks

What size tent do you use? I was looking at a 2x2x4 but I think it would have issues taking the lid off and putting it back on

I have been FDM printing for a while.. Managed to get a second hand Mono 2 for £90 then offered £70 for a Saturn 8k and won 😂 So now I got 2 printers and no more cash to buy any Clean and Cure equipment..

There are resins that are stronger than filament printers. You can even get industrial resins that can be used for tools and even injection molds.

Also most people have a ventilated bathroom. Throw a good air filter that has carbon and hepa, a fan to circulate the air and a towel to stuff under the door, then you can print safely.
