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?

    I’ve been using my resin printer for about a year and I’ve only had to swap my alcohol once, but it can also be cleaned fairly easily with pure alum powder.

    I personally use ethanol rather than isopropyl because a friend of mine is allergic to isopropyl, and it works just fine. The fumes are also less harmful from ethanol.

    Still wear a respirator when using it though.
