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

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

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.

With the spring-loaded build plate on the Mars 5 Ultra, similar to the Saturn 4 Ultra, it needs extra Rest After Retract (Chitubox) / Wait time before cure (UVTools) for the first 10-20 layers.

No, it isn’t. Sorry, but FDM printer don’t hold a candle to train when it comes to printing minis. Depending on how much you want to spend, I’d check out the Elegoo line. The Mars 5 Ultra is a good beginner/intermediate printer. It has plenty of print volume and the “self leveling” system is pretty

I would pick a starter printer like Anycubic Mono 4 or Elegoo Mars 5. There are other printers that have more bells and whistles but learning on a simpler machine will help you learn why print failures happen, because you will have plenty and they're not always because of the same reasons. Learn how

the problem is. if your max total budget is only $500 that's really not enough. a "good" printer. can print 1/12 figure heads. ...ie a elegoo mars 5 ultra is a great entry lvl printer. is like $250 ish for the printer. but you can expect to AT LEAST spend that same amt of aux items. wash/cure statio

I had similar issues when i first started using my Mars 5 Ultra. I had just come from a FDM printer and was annoyed that things didnt work off the bat. It didn't help that i picked the absolute worst and pickiest resin to print with (Siraya Tech True Blue Cast). I then swapped that out for some eleg
