Mars 5

Buy a 3d printer I'm not being absurd. Based on your needs, budget, and time frame, you'd be best off getting a 3d printer. You even have options: FDM (PLA) printer - a bambu A1 mini is $220, plus a 0.2mm nozzle for like $20. Filament is $30 a spool and you can get like 300 minis per spool. The qual

Just seconding the Mars vote. I only started printing this month, I bought the Mars 5 Ultra bundle with a wash/cure station and it's been pretty smooth sailing. I took the time to read up about supports, use the recommended settings with some minor tweaks, and overall it's gone really well. Just mak

I have the same Mars 5 Ultra, and on my first print, I got exactly this! no adhesion. I found these settings on reddit and they worked fantastic. It's been printing fine since I changed the values in RED. Detailed info: -Mars 5 Ultra -8K Washable Resin -Slicer software is ELEGOO SatelLite (came on t

I’m not too concerned with the fumes since it’s mostly contained when the cover is on. I’m concerned about how to properly handle it. You can’t just clean this stuff in a sink and be okay with it. It’ll clog your pipes and it’s terrible for the environment. If you accidentally spill the bottle you’v

I think you need to do more research because you’re talking about very different technologies… resin printers (Mars 5) vs FDM printers (all the others you mentioned). Resin printers are much more complex to use due to the chemicals and fumes and mess they make, but they are great at printing small d

For that price I would buy the minis directly to loot studios, each pack is at 139.9USD right now. But personally I would buy the printer if you can afford it, there are cheap ones for the price of two packs and they are great like Elegoo mars 5 ultra which I use and I'm no resin printer expert. Non

I’m a big fan of my Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra. Easy to use software and highly detail prints for casting work. I print with Siraya Tech Cast Purple and I would suggest buying the little $30 resin heater that attachs to the case.

I used Mars 5 + Lychee and have been getting the same results. 11 months in and I have revamped my entire DnD collection. Very minimal setup and no messing with default settings either. I use Sunlu AbS-like resin as it is less brittle than the default promo bottle from elegoo.

First warning; budget heavily for ventilation and PPE. Don't go into resin lightly, the stuff has a clear smell and genuine health risks. That being said, I went into resin for the same reason you are. I recently bought an Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra. It was a decent price, bundled with a wash and cure stat

I recommend the mars 4 ultra, but to change the fep for the mars 4 non ultra out of the box. The mars 4 ultra comes with ACF film which is cloudy and can reduce print sharpness. The mars non ultra 4 has a clear fep. Very easy to change. Or just live with the cfa film, its less sharp but not by a mas
