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.
