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.

Vent system would be important IMO. One option is a 4" duct with an inline fan, put the printer and wash stations in a box or vent hood of some kind and vent that outside.
