Now that we have talked about the most important parts of the printers, let us talk about testing and dialling in the printer.

There are two pairs of latex gloves and two surgical style masks for personal protection, but you will likely want to get some higher quality masks and additional gloves for working with resin as these are usually used up fairly quickly. The Shenzhen based operation has grown to over 50 employees while exporting their products across multiple countries worldwide!For the Mars 3 Pro, I knew I would need to scale the model down somewhat and I wanted to get the largest size that would print comfortably, so I ended printing this at a 30 degree angle scaled to 80%. I've used the basic version of Chitubox for several models on my Elegoo Mars 2 and I found it perfectly adequate for preparing the models for printing.

The stability of the printer (if the printer wobles, it matters little what the size of the pixels are as everything will be imprecise). The resin will be less viscous and drip faster from the build plate, so it caught me off guard the first time.

Resin LCD printers create the 3D parts by curing a single layer of resin onto the underside of a submerged build plate.

The activated carbon contained in the air purifier ensures efficient air purification and prevents resin odours. Upon arrival, I would put both scrapers, the mask and the USB drive in a drawer and forget about them. This item will be shipped directly from the UK 3D Print Monkey warehouse and should arrive within 1-5 working days. Placing models at an angle makes it easier to remove them from the build platform without damaging them in the process. Designed for Reliability]Non-slip hexagon socket leveling screws work with the sandblasted oxide surface build plate for stronger adhesion and more stable printing.

To resolve this I used one of the filters to filter the contents of the resin tank back into the bottle whilst catching any miss prints. However, for this model I decided to forego the drain holes, so there is likely some uncured resin hiding inside of my print. Take a look at them in the below images and make your own mind up - then I'll tell you what I thin k. The masks are not nearly enough protection, and by providing them Elegoo is sort of stating that it is. These types of printers are likely to be first time 3D resin printer purchases, so there is no reason to make the entry into printing cost more than it should.
