Where to find reasonably priced miniatures?
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

Replacing FEP with ACF
ACF has it's downsides, namely causing fine vertical lines on smooth surfaces. There was such a backlash against it, Elegoo stopped using ACF on new printers. No Mars 5 or Saturn 4 model uses ACF. nFEP/PFA however is a straight upgrade from FEP, and is cheaper than ACF. And yes, it uses the same ten

Why is Australia getting shafted !
Load of crap. This type of item is duty free and there's only a 10% sales tax which is comperable to most places in the world. Shipping from china is also pretty affordable, not saying we are the cheapest but we arn't no outlier especially for something this small and light. A 10-15% price increase

3D Printing Miniatures
Basically, uncured UV resin is toxic for your skin and can lead to itchyness, rashes or an allergic reaction. So you must wear gloves when handling it in liquid form (which is what you pour in the vat) and then rinse the printed models in 99% IPA and given them a final brief UV cure to get rid of an

Opinions on elegoo abs like 3.0 vs 3.0 + for miniatures
likely doesn't matter. if your printer can print at 5nm or 2nm it's beyond the ability of the human eye to notice. so the only thing that matters is if the sculpt is designed well or not. that being said. if it means anything to you i have a mars 5 ultra, and use elegoo abs 3.0+ and my minis come ou

how much for the printing cost (resin)
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

Opening a jewelry workshop – WaxJet or resin printer for investment casting?
Is your volume more or less than 50 pieces a month? If less, buy an Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra and bluecast resins. The MJP is like $30-50,000.

Absurd Pricing
Yeah, an Elegoo Mars 5 will only set you back $200 right now and just a bit more for a nice Anycubic model
