3d printing Decent beginning 3D printer

[col01by]

So I'm interested in 3d printing 

Don't exactly have many uses for it and live in Australia.

The main things I would make are mini figures 

Would this be a decent beginner printer ? 

Any recommendations or advice would be most welcome

Resin printers are great for minis, but be aware of the mess and proper procedures surrounding them. You'll need gloves for handling it, a properly ventilated room, lots of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to wash the prints, uv light to cure the resin and finally dispose of leftover IPA/resin as chemical waste through the proper channels.

Oh heck I knew there was abit more work but I didn't know there was that much that went into the cleaning/management of them

Would the entire process of printing and cleaning be difficult for a new user ?

It's not that difficult. I just has more protocol you should stick to compared to filament printing. You'll make mistakes and learn as with anything. There are plenty of resources about it from e.g. Maker's Muse, Thomas Sanladerer, and other 3D printing channels.

Tikker is correct. Its not hard just a lot of work.

I would HIGLY advice starting with regular filament printer.

Because the 3D printing itself is only the goal.

You will still have to learn the 3D program that you make your models in.

Have you decided on the software yet? Have you done training in the program so you know how it works already?

 

Else its just gonna be downloading other peoples work and printing that.

 

So no, all in all it is NOT easy.

 

 

 

 

ps:

Filament printer you need:

• 3D-printer
• filament
• (Maybe some tools)

 

Resin printer you need:

• Resin printer
• UV cure chamber
• IP Alcohol 70%-90%
• gloves
• Cleaning/drying station

 

 

This is abbreviated but you get the idea.

For resin you will need a lot more research, so you dont get eh wrong stuff etc.

I have an ender creality 3 and I have been very happy and there is alot of community support for it. I dont know about pricing in your region but I picked it up a yeart ago from microcenter for about $150
