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.

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

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. Around 20-40s for those early layers in the print work well, but probably less for the smaller build plate

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
