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 good to hear that youve had a relatively good experience. Did you have to replace things due to your own inexperience or just because you used it so much?

    I was planning on just doing it in my garage with the garage door open and a fan blowing out. I think this would be enough vetilation of ventilation?

      Definitely inexperience in my case. I punctured countless FEP sheets due to print failures (caused by poor supports). Replaced the LCD once. But, my workload has greatly improved!

      Garage would work, only concerns are managing the temperature and keeping dust/debris away from the work area. Lots of people successfully print from their garage!
