Didn't hear a correction to this... but the P1S is not a heated enclosure. It has an enclosure that will help retain the heat from the bed and nozzle heaters, but it isn't heated by any other heat source. It also exhausts out the back, so will be pushing warm air out in favour of cooler air coming in. Nor does it have temperature monitoring of the chamber (afaik). That isn't to say it doesn't help when printing in cooler environments (I agree, it does), just that people should be aware of this in case they are specifically looking for a printer with an actively heated enclosure. There4 are other benefits to an enclosure too - the ability to vent exhaust and treat the air coming out for example. I also believe it takes up a smaller footprint once you take in to consideration the full travel of the bed on the A1. I also prefer the AMS solution for it, if that is something you are after.
Thanks for all of the recommendations. I am with you on everything except your if you could only get one decision. You can make your own terrain and the same terrain will work in many different games. I could never sculpt my own miniatures and printing your own opens up a huge amount of variety for a fraction of the cost.
☝ I agree. Making terrain is more fun than making minis. It costs less to make terrain than it does to buy minis. It probably costs less to buy terrain tbh, given the amount you need. Handmade terrain can still look great, handmade minis not so much.
I really want to get into 3D printing to print D&D minis. I don’t got a lot of money, so I was looking to buying the Anycubic photon Mono 4. I want to print minis at a 15mm - 20mm for my games. What are your thoughts? Would this printer do the job?
its a good entry level printer but that can usually be a bad thing when brand new do to lack of software support that usually takes a few months to solve. i got a mars 5 ultra, a bit more expensive but has tons of features that make printing more reliable and automated.
Instead of using that Monster spray and aerosolising all that flammable Naphtha into the air, why not just use Naphtha from a bottle or can on a cotton bud? Safer, less waste and a lot cheaper 🤷♂
I saved $1200 and wanted to find a reasonably priced 3D printer to print masks like Oni, DC, Mortal Kombat ninja masks and other little trinkets. This video is kind of helpful but I'm still confused. 😢😢

Can you please share the settings that you use for printing miniatures for NOVA3D Water Washable Tough Resin? Saturn 4 Ultra if that helps.
