Still going through my included bottle of resin, they sent me flesh color. This is my first venture into resin printing. Ive been FDM printing for years now, have a few Ender 3s.

Waiting on a new bottle of AnyCubic's HD grey :)

That’s awesome! How are you liking resin compared to fdm? I thought about buying a resin printer for minis but the printing process seems a little too tedious for me.

You're right it's tedious. Lots of precautions with handling and spills happen. The results are great, but failures suck.

Can confirm. Bought a Halot One recently. Stock up on paper towels, nitrile gloves, IPA/Bio-Ethanol and FEP films.

It’s a trade off between quality and ease of use. I have a Ender 3 and a Halot One. I use only water based resins so I don’t have to deal with alcohol. I built my own curing box (for about €10). I love that my Ender 3 will print something that I can pick off the build plate and use immediately. But the quality of resin is undeniable and sometimes I will want to print something that you can’t get any other way.
