Hi. Thanks for all the views and wonderful comments. I wanted to address the UV Lamp and the fact that I wasn't wearing gloves while post curing. You can't see it in the shot, but I was wearing my UV Protective eyewear. The ones shown earlier in the video. You should not look at artificial 405nm UV Light without protective eyewear. It can damage your eyes. Sorry that I didn't mention this in the video. As far as UV Light and skin. I've had several comments that I shouldn't be exposing my skin to the UV light either. Including a comment from a close friend. As you can tell, I am very pale and am sensitive to sunlight. However the UV lamp in the video is similar to that used in a nail salon. It is narrow band 405nm. Research has shown that exposure to this type of artificial UV light does not increase the risk of skin cancer. See link below. It's safer than the same amount of exposure to direct sunlight. Therefore I haven't worried much about it. I could have just as easily taken the part outside and sun cured it for a few minutes. I prefer to post cure more slowly and instead use the UV lamp, which is less powerful than the sun. Still, better to be safe than sorry. Therefore I do recommend that you wear gloves and avoid prolonged skin exposure to the UV light. www.probeauty.org/docs/nmc/news-UV-Nail-Lamps-Little-Risk-Skin-Cancer_2012-12-09.pdf
Question...Have you tried reusing the printed leftover resin, i mean, melting it to make it liquid form again, to be reused, thus, cutting cost, have you tried it and has it worked ?
@@kingtigertank72 That is not how Resin works, you cannot remelt it like you can with FDM prints using thermoplastics (like PLA), because it not a melted polymer in the first place. Resin is made from Monomers and a UV-active component. When it gets in contact with UV-Light, a Polymerization reaction starts, creating long chains (polymers) out of a lot of the monomers. This process is no reversable by heat. But usually the amount of resin you "waste" (for support structures and maybe failed prints) is quite low, and all of the still liquid resin in the vat is perfectly usable. If you want more detailed information, check out the video "Ph.D. Chemist Explains 3D Printer Resin"
Someone else has probably pointed this out but you need a mask or a well ventilated area basically all the time when working with uncursed resin, prolonged exposure to resin fumes can lead to some nasty health complications down the line. Get a respirator rated for hazardous material and wear it religiously, your lungs will thank you later! Resin isnt incredibly dangerous, but the safety protocols involved are super important, just like they are with most tools of this nature.
@ZahirPerez-ww6tf usually in areas you won't be in 247 but if you are MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALOT OF AIR FILTERS like the original comment said AND USE MASK THAT HAS FILTERS preferably military approved gas mask and LONG gloves
Great video. After 6 years of FDM printing, I’m finally delving into Resin printing. You seem to be a natural at instructional video and you’re pleasant to listen to. Finally - a UA-camr that isn’t trying to be a celebrity! I’m glad I found your channel. Thank you.
@@rocus80m its much easier to get a lot of details into a resin print than compared to FDM! Either way, both often require lots of testing and trying until it works out perfectly for you!
This is the best video I've seen so far. I was skeptical about getting a resin printer because I was under the impression that if one drop of resin got on your skin, you would drop dead instantly! 👻 The stove reference, which I use several times a day, changed my mind.😁 I started thinking about other things I use that can be dangerous, like my table saw, my car, etc. I think I'll give resin printing a try after all.
Don't be fooled. Getting resin carelessly on you can cause you to have incredibly intense allergic reactions. Check reddit for those that have failed to follow proper safety precautions with pictures of visible skin damage. Over time, even a microscopic drop of resin can still cause those reactions. Resin is not to be messed with.
It's not too bad. Just don't let it on your skin if possible and ventilate well. *Test your skin for allergic reaction!* Always wash your skin well if you get some resin on it.
I have an Elegoo Saturn 2 sitting on my dining room table at this moment, still sealed in its original box. I have been using an Ender 3 FDM printer for years and love it but decided to take the leap to resin with the Saturn 2. As one might expect, I have been watching a number of 3d resin printer videos and have found this video to be the best by far. I really like your straightforward, honest and direct approach to explaining the finer details of resin printing and the fact that you do so without relying on that overly-hyped and forced "toxic positivity" that makes me cringe and immediately shut the videos off just makes for a perfect presentation. Thank you for not being a schlock jock and actually offering useful information. I do have a question that I had not previously considered. As someone who wants to conserve resin, should I consider getting a smaller printer for smaller prints and save the Saturn 2 for larger projects? Amazon has the Mars 3 Pro for $299 now, is that a good price?
Finally someone who’s honest about their sponsors. You said the yousu is decent stuff, Some people would say that it’s the most cheap and the best resin on the market so the sponsor would come back.
Hi, hope u can help me, i'm ready to Buy My first 3d resin printer, in My country we doesnt have too much variety, and the only "well knowed" 3d printers are 1.- Anycubic photon mono x and the 2.- Creality LD006... And i don't know wich one Buy... Please help me!! Btw, sorry about My Bad English, it's not My native. Thanks!!
Wow, I'm looking at getting into 3d printing and this video was absolutely perfect! Clearly and concisely went over everything necessary to get started, with links to more in depth topics. I don't normally subscribe after watching one video (especially about more niche topics) but you earned one from me, keep it up!
I've been fdm printing for little more than a year now, and am buying a resin printer within the month. This seems like a good place to hang out and get smarter. Keep it up!
Congrats with 10K! You deserve a lot more however. The quality of information and the way you bring it are just flawless. This video is just another example. Good to hear about the sponsorship too. Best wishes to you!
An additional useful item to use is puppy training pads (aka wee wee pads) they are an absorbant layer on top of a plastic backing. Its great for managing spills. Put them underneath where your working or printer. If there is any spill just pick up the whole thing and toss. So much easier than trying to wipe things up with paper towels.
Thank you for such an amazing video and actually explaining the information in words that a beginner like myself who have never owned any 3D printer spool or resin. I’ve been making mini figures for years now that folks use for EDC as lucky talismans or display pieces but I’ve always done it the old time consuming way by sculpting the piece from clay, making a silicone mold & finally casting a resin final product! I’ve deff gotta get me a resin 3D printer! It’ll shorten my waiting list making me able to keep my books open instead of having to open & close them repeatedly for orders.
I agree. After spending a year teaching remotely, and having to create instructional videos, I can appreciate the effort of creating and editing this content. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if you are a teacher, as your presentation and organization of the material is excellent.
I watched this video several months ago and I find myself watching it again before I make a purchasing decision. This is such an informative and professional video. You really did a great job!
Damn bro! I work in the corporate training sector and this video is pure 🔥 🔥. Great presentation, cutaways, graphics and titles. This is a masterclass. Definitely giving you a follow.
Beautiful video quality ! Though I do want to point out, I had a major spill/exposure of this stuff happen to me and weeks later got a temporary paralysis(for a few months) with muscle twitching and metallic taste in the mouth as the first symptomatic signs. It's more than just an irritant if you become exposed more (affects the central nervous system and immune system). It can become a class 3 and almost class 4 danger with more exposure. It should be rated a class 3 imo. I really recommend a lab coat for added safety with strong nitrile gloves and a mask in addition just like companies require to follow proper safety dressage of hazardous liquid materials. It's known to kill fish with just a few drops in a large aquarium so don't wash this in the drain much less the kitchen sink please. Aside from that it's really fun to print but it's good to follow up on safety for this.
thank you so much for this video! when i bought my printer, i didn't even know it was a resin printer. I had always used the FDM printer my dad had. this makes so much of the basic prosses clear and ill be buying the extra necessary parts now. Thanks!
You've just reached 10k and in only 2 months later you are at 15,600! Halfway through and I feel as if ive struck gold. Sir clearly you are doing something right. Subbed
Thank you so much! My first printer is showing up tommorrow and this was the perfect last video to put all my research in order and clear everything up!
Thank you for this video. It has been by far the most newbie friendly explanation of 3D printing. I am thinking about taking the plunge into 3D printing and this video made that decision so much easier.
hi frank, my factory design , make and sell sla 3d printers , if u hv the plan to buy it , kindly pls let me know , i would offer u factory cost price w/ good quality
Thanks for the very clear instructions. I myself am doing FDA 3D printing for a reasonable time already (started out wit a acrylic monster a few years ago, but using a Creality Ender 5 with improvements now). I was thinking into diving into resin printing for a while now. As I also do Holography I brew my developer and blech baths, and so I am no stranger to using chemicals. I think I can handle this resin stuff too. As I do not have a separate room or garage box, I was thinking about building a closet with ventilation that sucks air out and use a tube to blow it outside the window. That way I avoid having harmful fumes inside the house. Secondly - I think about using water washable resin (Elegoo, Wanahoo and other brands), and so I can avoid using a lot of (expensive and flammable) alcohol. Anyway - Thanks for this video. It makes trying out raising printing even more tempting.
Even though this video is 2 years old it holds up, I’m just thinking about filament vs resin and I think this had convinced me that resin isn’t as difficult as I thought and probably the way to go for me!
Very informative video! I've been doing FDM printing for 4 years or so and while I still believe it's my current best choice for my own purposes, I will always adore the sheer amount of detail that's possible with SLA printing. Glad to see it's starting to enter an area where it's becoming affordable for most people who want to get into it
I'm a very visual learner and these animations explained everything SO well. I love how you covered everything you need to know in a very concise but easy to understand way. Great work!
What an incredible video! Every resin machine manufacturer should be reaching out to you to create instructional videos. Best explanation I’ve yet seen to get into resin printing. Bravo!!!!
What on earth?? You did not have to go so hard with only 10K subs at the time! This is better quality than I would expect from a full production studio!
I am speechless with how well this video is planned and executed. I'm a maker and have been doing 3d printing for a while. Just about to pul the trigger on a couple of resin printers and this was definitely the best video I've seen on resin printing tips and overviews. Excellent work here.
Wow, that was the best getting started in resin printing video I have watched. You present the how to in a much easier way than most other videos, very easy to understand the process. Looking forward to getting a printer soon. Again, great video, thank you for sharing. A new subscriber.
This was an absolutely incredible video. I've been wanting to get into resin printing for a while and you've answered so many of my question in this one video. Thank you.
One minute and 46 seconds in this video and you already got me hooked! Your animations are awesome! I'm into 3d printing for 4 years now, and I never seen such a good explanation of how 3 3d printing works! You should start with "welcome to my ted talk" :D
As I’ve been getting into resin printing i have watched a lot of “getting started” videos. This one is hands down the best. Good information. Methodical explanation of process. And a really professional presentation. And I’ll be checking out the rest of the content on this channel. Thank you!
Great video on Resin printing! I've been using standard filament printers for the last 5 years and just bought a resin printer this week. Very different experience than I am used too. Just subscribed and I am looking forward to watching all your videos!
Great video, only tweak I'd make if you ever do a revision, is to be careful about the scraper recommendation. The plastic one is just for the vat as it is gentle on the FEP, whereas you want to use a metal one on the build plate. So two scrapers with two purposes. It would be good to mention wash and cure stations too which help simplify the washing and post-cure. Great job on this!
Your videos are definitely helping me getting closer to taking the plunge, and demystifying a lot of things. Thank you very much! What do you think about the wash and cure stations that I've seen available?
I've always wondered my the mono panels are more expensive. In theory it should be less since it requires less manufacturing steps, I suppose it's due to the specific use, and not commonly used in anything but 3d printers. Also thanks for this video, very informative.
Wow! This was a fantastic video. I've been looking to get into 3D printing, and have been waiting for the resin printers to come down in price, as I wasn't interested in getting into PLA printing. Very informative, and having an entire section on how to prepare your workspace, and what items you'll want to get....you realize how much trial and error you just saved me? Too good to me!
Nice video! What is the intensity and wavelength from the UV post curing light? I would definitely use gloves while post curing the parts in the future to prevent skin damage.
Wash and cure station is worth buying. Plus it can wash your build plate. Allow to dry and snap off the supports then cure . Don't play fast and loose with your bed level or cleaning the vat. I had to replace my screen after only 2 1kg bottles because I damaged it. Anycubic has 3 for the price of 2 bottles for 52.00 I think. 3kg of resin will last a long time. Expect shipping to take a few weeks. Don't scrape your vat. it will damage the FEP sheet. Remove and clean it with soapy water and gently press front the back side with you finger and you work the stuck parts loose with something soft.
Great video! I'm going to be getting my first SLA printer very soon. You suggested a metal funnel for pouring resin back into the bottle, but is there any particular reason not to use a silicone one? I figure it might be easier to just cure the bits of resin left in the funnel under a UV lamp and just peel it off once cured, rather than having to clean a metal funnel with IPA. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something here. Thanks!
Really wanna get a 3d printer but i never have the money. Would probably print smaller scale prints so resin would be good but this video kinda scares me about all the stuff you need for it. I'd never afford that😂
Glad I watched this video first. With my current setup where I am living doing the cleaning and worring about light would be difficult for me. I will hold off for now.
I just purchased a Mono 2 today, I cannot wait. So I've been binge watching 3d videos. I really enjoyed this, informative and gave me somethings to think about. Thank you :)
Hands down the best comprehensive detailed summary of SLA printer with so the info a person needs. Also a very well put together video production. I enjoyed watching and listening. I appreciate the time it takes to produce high quality videos and the time put in to make it so good. Thanks again, you gained a fan.
I really liked this video, and typically American it doesn't assume you know anything so I found it really good. I knew NOTHING about 3d printing, didn't even know what sla and fdm is so now I do. Thanks
This is one of the best 3d printing videos I've watched, thank you for the awesome graphics explaining how things work. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
I'm new to 3d printing....about 3 months into fdm and looking to get a resin printer soon because I cannot get the detail quality with filament I want. I'm sure I'll be using this channel constantly now.
Very good intro and I think these 2 points are also worth mentioning. 1. What is best suited to print on a filament over a resin printer, and vice versa. Yes, there are 2 types but some 3D printing is more suited for one type of over the other. 2. Most importantly, mention the max size printable as each printer is different and one should know this before buying one. . If one buys a small resin printer more suited for miniatures, it would be very difficult to print a full head helmet, sword or shield. 3. The stove on fire 🔥 was hot.
If you were afraid something you said would make someone give up on resin 3D printing you did the exact opposite! I’m crazy about it because of your video! Thank you!!
I gotta drop a thank you, this video as well as your vid on failures not only got me into 3D printing, I making some really cool stuff, and learning a few tricks too. This vid is great, the printer I ended up getting was the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K and it makes some real nice quality prints. Made a few minis, and 1/10 scale figures so far. Going to work on some bigger stuff soon! Thanks and keep the content coming!
Fantastic newbies guide! Basically completely sold me on getting a resin printer for all the little projects that I have in mind. If I lived in USA, I'd even use your affiliate links. Thanks!
Thank you for the fantastic video. The most simple and straightforward explanation of 3D printing I've seen in a video. I'm going to use it in my future classes. But, for me personally, I wanted to thank you because as someone who is thinking about adding my first resin printer to the mix I had some questions and you answered them all. So glad you mentioned UV light and windows as that changes everything I was thinking about as far as placement.
Your videos are hands down the easiest to understand, I hope you make a video explaining finding the right settings for both printing and the post wash and cure times.
@@Nerdtronic if you do, thank you in advance, advice can be confusing, all your videos I have found easy to follow, and I don't switch off during them (I have narcolepsy so concentration can be difficult) I am definitely struggling with my printer, trying to print keycaps without a brittle stem, and was testing them just after curing, only last night did I pick up one that was done last week, and the stem was much harder, I guess they take a bit of time to settle? I am using alcohol to wash, but then see others using Mr clean, I was under the impression it had to be alcohol. I feel like there are lots of little things no one talks about assuming it's common sense. You would be the perfect person to do a "Resin printing for dummies" series. People who have shown settings don't explain why things are set to certain speeds/times and what happens if too high/low, and only really focus on the exposure times.
Nice video. Thanks! One teeny-tiny point. There's only ever one LCD layer. Colour panels have filters on each pixel for red, green and blue. That's the difference. Also, most LCD panels use normal light as a back light. 3D printers use UV back lights to help cure the resin faster.
This is a very good, comprehensive talk about getting started in Resin Printing, all in 1 place. I have been piecing hints and techniques together from some of my other subscribed channels but; this video just seemed to pull it all together in a way that I got (sorry Joel and Tom!). I have been looking for a resin printer for DnD miniatures and looks like this Nova3D Elphin 2 just might be perfect for it and a great 1st resin printer! Thanks for an excellent video (and the links).
Hi. Thanks for all the views and wonderful comments.
I wanted to address the UV Lamp and the fact that I wasn't wearing gloves while post curing. You can't see it in the shot, but I was wearing my UV Protective eyewear.

hi frank, my factory design , make and sell sla 3d printers , if u hv the plan to buy it , kindly pls let me know , i would offer u factory cost price w/ good quality
Thanks for the very clear instructions. I myself am doing FDA 3D printing for a reasonable time already (started out wit a acrylic monster a few years ago, but using a Creality Ender 5 with improvements now). I was thinking into diving into resin printing for a while now. As I also do Holography I brew my developer and blech baths, and so I am no stranger to using chemicals. I think I can handle this resin stuff too.
As I do not have a separate room or garage box, I was thinking about building a closet with ventilation that sucks air out and use a tube to blow it outside the window. That way I avoid having harmful fumes inside the house. Secondly - I think about using water washable resin (Elegoo, Wanahoo and other brands), and so I can avoid using a lot of (expensive and flammable) alcohol.
Anyway - Thanks for this video. It makes trying out raising printing even more tempting.
Even though this video is 2 years old it holds up, I’m just thinking about filament vs resin and I think this had convinced me that resin isn’t as difficult as I thought and probably the way to go for me!
I would love to see a review on a cheap set up like the Creality + curing station. Your channel is amazing, keep up the Amazing work!
Very informative video! I've been doing FDM printing for 4 years or so and while I still believe it's my current best choice for my own purposes, I will always adore the sheer amount of detail that's possible with SLA printing. Glad to see it's starting to enter an area where it's becoming affordable for most people who want to get into it
I'm a very visual learner and these animations explained everything SO well. I love how you covered everything you need to know in a very concise but easy to understand way. Great work!
What an incredible video! Every resin machine manufacturer should be reaching out to you to create instructional videos. Best explanation I’ve yet seen to get into resin printing. Bravo!!!!
Wow, thanks!
What on earth?? You did not have to go so hard with only 10K subs at the time! This is better quality than I would expect from a full production studio!
Wow, thank you!
I am speechless with how well this video is planned and executed. I'm a maker and have been doing 3d printing for a while. Just about to pul the trigger on a couple of resin printers and this was definitely the best video I've seen on resin printing tips and overviews. Excellent work here.
Wow, that was the best getting started in resin printing video I have watched. You present the how to in a much easier way than most other videos, very easy to understand the process. Looking forward to getting a printer soon. Again, great video, thank you for sharing. A new subscriber.
you are a boon to the community. such good details, great quality and flow. Awesome video
Just started printing. Perfect time for a guide like this. Thanks!
Great. Hope it helps!
This was an absolutely incredible video. I've been wanting to get into resin printing for a while and you've answered so many of my question in this one video. Thank you.
One minute and 46 seconds in this video and you already got me hooked! Your animations are awesome! I'm into 3d printing for 4 years now, and I never seen such a good explanation of how 3 3d printing works! You should start with "welcome to my ted talk" :D
There’s nothing better then finding the exact video you’re looking for on the first try. Great content!
Man! That in depth explanation and video quality. No words. Great job
Much appreciated!
As I’ve been getting into resin printing i have watched a lot of “getting started” videos.
This one is hands down the best.
Good information. Methodical explanation of process. And a really professional presentation.
And I’ll be checking out the rest of the content on this channel.
Thank you!
thanks!
Great video on Resin printing! I've been using standard filament printers for the last 5 years and just bought a resin printer this week. Very different experience than I am used too. Just subscribed and I am looking forward to watching all your videos!
Cool thanks. Have fun!
Great video, only tweak I'd make if you ever do a revision, is to be careful about the scraper recommendation. The plastic one is just for the vat as it is gentle on the FEP, whereas you want to use a metal one on the build plate. So two scrapers with two purposes. It would be good to mention wash and cure stations too which help simplify the washing and post-cure. Great job on this!
Pretty good and informative video. Thx for sharing and I’m a new subscriber
Very good and informative video man
Just awsome
This is so easy to understand .. thanks boss !
I love this guy he just seems so nice
Thanks!
Your videos are definitely helping me getting closer to taking the plunge, and demystifying a lot of things. Thank you very much! What do you think about the wash and cure stations that I've seen available?
I've never used one. My next video which should be out any day is on cleaning parts. At least how I do it.
hi john, if u want to buy the sla 3d printer , kindly pls let me know. my factory design, make and sell sla 3d printers
Very informative without too much fluff, very too the point for everything with lots of good experienced suggestions. Loved it.
I've always wondered my the mono panels are more expensive. In theory it should be less since it requires less manufacturing steps, I suppose it's due to the specific use, and not commonly used in anything but 3d printers.
Also thanks for this video, very informative.
Wow! This was a fantastic video. I've been looking to get into 3D printing, and have been waiting for the resin printers to come down in price, as I wasn't interested in getting into PLA printing. Very informative, and having an entire section on how to prepare your workspace, and what items you'll want to get....you realize how much trial and error you just saved me? Too good to me!
Nice video! What is the intensity and wavelength from the UV post curing light? I would definitely use gloves while post curing the parts in the future to prevent skin damage.
Wash and cure station is worth buying. Plus it can wash your build plate. Allow to dry and snap off the supports then cure . Don't play fast and loose with your bed level or cleaning the vat. I had to replace my screen after only 2 1kg bottles because I damaged it. Anycubic has 3 for the price of 2 bottles for 52.00 I think. 3kg of resin will last a long time. Expect shipping to take a few weeks. Don't scrape your vat. it will damage the FEP sheet. Remove and clean it with soapy water and gently press front the back side with you finger and you work the stuck parts loose with something soft.
Great video! I'm going to be getting my first SLA printer very soon. You suggested a metal funnel for pouring resin back into the bottle, but is there any particular reason not to use a silicone one? I figure it might be easier to just cure the bits of resin left in the funnel under a UV lamp and just peel it off once cured, rather than having to clean a metal funnel with IPA. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something here. Thanks!
hi Andrea , did u get your first SLA 3D printer or not ? our factory design, produce and sell SLA 3D printer
What a great video. Very well done. Very informative. One of the best UA-cam how to video's I have seen.
I've had a FDM printer several years and want to try resin. This was the perfect video for explaining how to get started.
Really wanna get a 3d printer but i never have the money. Would probably print smaller scale prints so resin would be good but this video kinda scares me about all the stuff you need for it. I'd never afford that😂
Glad I watched this video first. With my current setup where I am living doing the cleaning and worring about light would be difficult for me. I will hold off for now.
Yeah sorry. Sunlight and photosensitive resin don't mix.
"...consult your user manual or UA-cam..." Ah, what a great time to be alive. 🤣
Ha I totally cheated there. No way I could explain every possible way that printers level the plate.
This is by far one of the best most informative videos I've seen in a while. Just perfect! Thank you! Subscribed!
Wow thanks!
"You do not want to get this stuff in your eye." So that already covered splattering in your eye, right?
I just purchased a Mono 2 today, I cannot wait. So I've been binge watching 3d videos. I really enjoyed this, informative and gave me somethings to think about. Thank you :)
Hands down the best comprehensive detailed summary of SLA printer with so the info a person needs. Also a very well put together video production. I enjoyed watching and listening. I appreciate the time it takes to produce high quality videos and the time put in to make it so good. Thanks again, you gained a fan.
Thank you for making this video, very informative for a total beginner like me!
hi Holy Grass , any plan to buy a new resin printer ?
I really liked this video, and typically American it doesn't assume you know anything so I found it really good.
I knew NOTHING about 3d printing, didn't even know what sla and fdm is so now I do.
Thanks
This is one of the best 3d printing videos I've watched, thank you for the awesome graphics explaining how things work. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
I'm new to 3d printing....about 3 months into fdm and looking to get a resin printer soon because I cannot get the detail quality with filament I want.
I'm sure I'll be using this channel constantly now.
hi
Collin Cutler, any plan to get a 3d resin printer from our factory? I will offer u a fctory cost price w/ cerfificated quality
Very good intro and I think these 2 points are also worth mentioning.
1. What is best suited to print on a filament over a resin printer, and vice versa. Yes, there are 2 types but some 3D printing is more suited for one type of over the other.
2. Most importantly, mention the max size printable as each printer is different and one should know this before buying one. . If one buys a small resin printer more suited for miniatures, it would be very difficult to print a full head helmet, sword or shield.
3. The stove on fire 🔥 was hot.
If you were afraid something you said would make someone give up on resin 3D printing you did the exact opposite! I’m crazy about it because of your video! Thank you!!
Wow thanks!
I gotta drop a thank you, this video as well as your vid on failures not only got me into 3D printing, I making some really cool stuff, and learning a few tricks too. This vid is great, the printer I ended up getting was the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K and it makes some real nice quality prints. Made a few minis, and 1/10 scale figures so far. Going to work on some bigger stuff soon! Thanks and keep the content coming!
Fantastic newbies guide! Basically completely sold me on getting a resin printer for all the little projects that I have in mind. If I lived in USA, I'd even use your affiliate links. Thanks!
0:26 Before i start... Excelent introduction to set the content baseline. Just the video I was looking for.
I love this guy. I am a newbie and now i think i know how how to print the right way.
Great video, wish every video on youtube was this clear.
Wow thanks.
Perfectly explained how resin works
Wonderful production quality and amazing video!! This helped me with my new printer!
Thanks! Glad to help.
Thank you Michael for putting this video together! I am looking at getting a 3D printer and this is a huge help, subscribed!
This video is amazing and so informative. I'm coming from FDM printing and this video helped me understand so much about the differences. Well done!
Wow thanks! Glad it was helpful.
Great video. Thanks!
Thank you for the fantastic video. The most simple and straightforward explanation of 3D printing I've seen in a video. I'm going to use it in my future classes.
But, for me personally, I wanted to thank you because as someone who is thinking about adding my first resin printer to the mix I had some questions and you answered them all. So glad you mentioned UV light and windows as that changes everything I was thinking about as far as placement.
Now this is how a beginner guide should be. Excellent job
Wow! You rock! I wish you were in charge of every tutorial known to man!
Ha.. Glad you enjoed it. Thanks for watching!
Your videos are hands down the easiest to understand, I hope you make a video explaining finding the right settings for both printing and the post wash and cure times.
Thanks. Will give it some thought.
@@Nerdtronic if you do, thank you in advance, advice can be confusing, all your videos I have found easy to follow, and I don't switch off during them (I have narcolepsy so concentration can be difficult) I am definitely struggling with my printer, trying to print keycaps without a brittle stem, and was testing them just after curing, only last night did I pick up one that was done last week, and the stem was much harder, I guess they take a bit of time to settle? I am using alcohol to wash, but then see others using Mr clean, I was under the impression it had to be alcohol. I feel like there are lots of little things no one talks about assuming it's common sense. You would be the perfect person to do a "Resin printing for dummies" series. People who have shown settings don't explain why things are set to certain speeds/times and what happens if too high/low, and only really focus on the exposure times.
Really high-quality video. I appreciate the graphics during descriptions. Totally not necessary, but really nice.
Nice video. Thanks! One teeny-tiny point. There's only ever one LCD layer. Colour panels have filters on each pixel for red, green and blue. That's the difference. Also, most LCD panels use normal light as a back light. 3D printers use UV back lights to help cure the resin faster.
Excellent quality video. Concise and informative. Good clear graphics and many topics covered. Subscribed.
Thanks! Welcome aboard!
Super informative. You even explained how resin printers work, perfect guide for beginners!
Great breakdown of the breakdown of 3D printing. This was needed.
Thanks!
This is the best explanation of 3d printing on the internet. Thank you so much. Subscribed
thank you for so detailed description of the process! gold mine for beginners :)
Glad it was helpful!
This is a very good, comprehensive talk about getting started in Resin Printing, all in 1 place. I have been piecing hints and techniques together from some of my other subscribed channels but; this video just seemed to pull it all together in a way that I got (sorry Joel and Tom!). I have been looking for a resin printer for DnD miniatures and looks like this Nova3D Elphin 2 just might be perfect for it and a great 1st resin printer! Thanks for an excellent video (and the links).
hi Morrie, did u get a resin printer or not ?
Amazing video edition and animation to explain everything with detail.
Excellent video! I knew very little about resin printing prior watching but I guess you managed to cover most of the basics.
Great video. I just bought an elegoo saturn. Cant wait to get printing.
