[@MikeConstantinou]

Anycubic Tough Resin Ultra ordered - thank you!

[@IronLion219]

what about large builds that should be hollow?

[@toastle8005]

An hour long video explaining 3D-printing from one of the channels I’ve best seen explain 3D-printing, just as I’m looking to take the plunge. I suspect this video will become a holy grail to a lot of new printers on KZbin I can’t not comment on that for the algorithm, can I? Thank you, this is incredible

[@tloh6643]

This is my holy grail for printing!!! I am a first-time user of a resin printer and this video has set me up for success! Thank you so much for this in-depth guide and it has been very detailed! Also having the same printer made this so much more easy!

[@sir_jeffiedo2558]

Here’s your engagement comment. You’ve gotten me into resin printing and I love the stuff you do. Wish you luck with KZbin.

[@just_bright]

Another suckered. Please feel free to chime in on your new love or are u just buying cleaning supplies and paper towels to clean up the mess they make

[@flywingless]

Buying a flex plate for my printer was probably the best thing I've ever done for this hobby. It's such a game changer.

[@brunoduchesne6663]

Ho yes. Big game changer😊

[@brianparamore6928]

Ordering my first printer and accessories this week. Any other things you recommend the change the game I can get out the gate?

[@soaringspoon]

Discovered your channel like a week ago currently in the process of upgrading to whatever bamboo puts out next February (hopefully fingers crossed). Now, because of you, I'm planning on picking up a GKTwo and going down the resin rabbit hole and learning how to paint miniatures as it looks like a lot of fun. Hopefully in a few months Ill be learning how to paint on some Turnip28 minis. This video for me was perfect timing couldn't have asked for a better coincidence. Hopefully KZbin starts spinning up the algorithm for you, your art is everything the algorithm loves so fingers crossed.

[@JeremyTolbert]

You won't regret the GKTwo. I've had a few different printers and it's been my favorite so far.

[@AislynAlder]

I want to send out a heartfelt thank you. I have limited funds and picked up a saturn s like a year and a half ago. It printed 4 prints then shat upon me heavily. This video got me back in the saddle after multiple major repairs/fails. Your teaching style is fabulous, the bunnies are adorable and I have made it to calibration phase (round 4 atm) and am excited yo print some minis for the new table I am DMing. Thanks so much. You're a gem, and this is an amazing resource.

[@OnceinaSixSide]

You're very welcome! Glad you got a lot out of this one 🤘

[@qnely]

I got a mars 4 max just before Christmas using sunlu plant based resin and its been absolutely flawless, really surprised at how well it's gone. Much of this is due to watching videos like yours helping get the setup pretty much right out of the box. Plug and play I'd give it an 8/10

[@xander9460]

Saturn 3 ultra. Hooking up was 5 minutes. Wifi? 5 minutes. Zeroing the plate was 5 minutes. I printed 3 Cones of calibration to dial in exposure time. took me about 10 minutes to get the stl through lychee slicer, 1 minute to upload it to my Saturn 3 ultra, 50 minutes to print. Altogether 3:30 hours to dial it in and understand. Been happily printing perfect pre-supported minis since. Cure and dry is super simple. My bigger issue was I could only set it up in my living room. Bought a walk-in hydroponics tent 4x4 feet, an in-line fan + hoses, and one of those cheap airco window adapter kits, propper half face mask with propper rated filters, nitril gloves and for laughs a lab coat. I do all my resin handling inside the test until it's clean and cured. Keep everything contained in there. Ease of use? 10/10. Safety? 8/10.

[@KinguCurimson]

How is this setup doing a month later? Have the same printer in the living room with a grow tent + ventilation all set up yesterday and wondering if you've felt any ill effects since posting this comment

[@nohkra]

That sounds like a pretty nice setup if you're missing an extra "printing room", everything but family-compatible though 😂

[@alexanderalfonsson5874]

The Lab Coat was a brilliant touch. XD Heinz would approve.

[@Robcartaco7]

This is most defiantly the highest quality masterpiece of a video that I have seen on KZbin EVER! The amount of detail and care put into this is immense, the fact that you go through multiple different software and multiple printers is amazing. This is the best way to get into the hobby, I felt so comfortable doing my first print after this. Thank you so much!

[@MrToadyodymo]

For me it became a hobby as it lead me down the rabbit hole of making my own terrain and miniatures.

[@grumhelden]

Even as an experienced printer-er, this video is absolutely invaluable.

[@Slydeish]

Absolutely great video for sure. Spoiler Alert: The air filtration device they provide is not remotely enough to scrub the nasty molecules from prints. Smell doesn’t equate to toxicity, just because it doesn’t smell doesn’t mean it’s not taking your lungs to Pound Town. Sorry to be a Negative Nancy, I just don’t want you folks getting hurt by these companies not making you aware because it would hurt their sales model and profits. Ventilation, ventilation, ventilation!

[@RoseKindred]

Already 3D print but had this going in the background. Good video for starters and I still picked up a few tips.

[@stephenkay3941]

Sure man, i'll feed the algorithm. Started printing in November 23, so 2 months ago. I'm in the UK, so had a bit of a blip with failures due to low temperature, but even with that I've not found the learning curve too bad. Not quite plug and play, but probably comparable to getting an airbrush. Certainly not a hobby by itself, but with some depth if you get into it. I've had to learn some things, but I've enjoyed doing it and it's been well worth my time. And thanks for all the super helpful info. Channels like this have made it way easier to get up to speed and you've definitely saved me some headaches and nightmares

[@jordanhurley1314]

I recently got into printing after christmas and I kept looking for a coprehensive video like this! Killer work and your videos inspired me to make the leap to start!

[@KlebergsKorner]

I have been 3D printing for almost a year now. I spent about 3 hours setting up my printer one evening and i have maybe spent 2 hours since then cleaning and calibrating my printer. I have printed almost an entire army and a half. It has been smooth sailing. It's so close to plug´n´play as it can be. I have an Elegoo Mars 3 pro, and i love it. Great videos - keep them comming

[@thestoicsteve]

A comprehensive guide to what is needed for successful 3d printing. Not got my printer yet but will do soon.

[@ashleywhitehead3710]

Another great vid! Enjoy your content. Keep it up! Been fdm printing for 8 years and resin printing for about a year and a half. Was interesting watching your beginner vid and see the way you do things. Most things I agree with, some gave me a laugh. The way you removed the resin sheet after doing a vat clean. Just plop an support and raft from a previous print in a corner of the vat, run the vat clean and peel the resin sheet out using the supports sticking out of the resin. No need to touch the resin or remove the vat. Although you probably need to remove the vat anyway to filter the resin if you need to do a vat clean. Those rafts you used are not ideal either. They are a massive suction cup. My 6k does not like them at all. Best to use the raft with the angled sides and flat top. Easy to get the scraper under and no suction cup. I used to use hot water to remove supports as well. However, the water will make the resin brittle. Best to remove supports immediately after washing while the resin is still soft. If the supports are hard to remove at this stage then your layer time is to high, model is over supported or your resin is crap. Supports should come away with very little effort. Fat tips may need more if a wiggle but I generally prefer to use more smaller tips than large tips. Depends in the model and limitation of orientation vs detail preservation. Supports are probably the most complex part of resin printing. The most un fun but absolutley necessary skills to learn. I find supporting to be an absolute chore. However, there is no substitute for supports you have done yourself with a process you have developed for your printer with the resin your using in the conditions your printing in. On that note, a resin mix I highly recommend is 80% sunlu abs like grey resin with 20% sunlu toughness resin. By weight. Magic for minatures and resonably cheap. Also you forgot to cover leveling the printer itself. This can cause issues as well. Cheers for the vid.

[@OnceinaSixSide]

Interesting those rafts have been a sticky point for you! Yeah flat top/angled sides is good too. I just prefer that extra lip. This video covers levelling in two different ways, as well as vat clean in a couple of different ways (including the method you mentioned). It's fully chapterized so should be easy to find. Thanks for your comment!

[@DanGrab]

Coming from an FDM printer (Ender 3), this is a whole new skill to learn. New programs, different calibrations to make, etc. Thanks in advance for the advice.

[@klinesmoker5537]

Love it, man. I managed to get the settings right pretty quickly. For me it's been a 6 or 7. I underestimated the time it takes to manage the STLs in Chitu/Lychee. To everyone out there, plate management in software takes more time than you think.

[@OnceinaSixSide]

100%

[@DanielVisOneCade]

Easily the worst aspect of the hobby is finding time to slice, support and plan out plates. Having the machine go brrrr is top loaded and bottom loaded with time at the PC or time post processing time. It's fine if for what ever reason life/work etc keeps you near your operating space as you can jump on and off as needed the model's don't care if they're STLS or resin. But if life takes you elsewhere throughout the day and you didn't get that plate printing you need to account for this extra time before anything is going brrrrr.

[@TheSuperjort]

you are a beacon in the dark. Guiding lost souls to redemption and knowledge. Your content is gold and if I weren't a poverty stricken student I would donate to you

[@adamgriffiths1703]

I've been moderately successful printing to date, this video has filled the gaps, answered a load of my outstanding questions so thank you.

[@victoryspath4116]

Absolutely amazing content! I'll come back to this video again and again! Really great job and what the community needed.

[@cloragork9173]

If I could like this video 100 times, I absolutely would! In lieu of that I'm going to be directing anyone and everyone I know who's involved in resin printing to this video. So much fantastic info that I didn't know I needed! Thank you!

[@AStrangeEvent]

I’ve had an anycubic mono x for about a year and it has been churning along nicely. I’ve been following your pre print checks for a few months and it’s made a difference in many prints. Keep it up bud. I’m liking the more free form audio. Makes it feel like your shooting the shot with your buddy

[@davidmcininch5220]

Yeah I didn't buy a 3d printer for ages because I thought it was too complex you videos were the thing that changed my mind

[@analog-dreams]

This channel is a goddamn gold mine, answers all the questions I could not easily find condensed before.

[@unliyou]

This is a complete guide you provided that can help a lot of people. However, to improve the method for removal of printed parts from the build plate, once can use a razor sharp blade, it won't damage the printed parts. I usually print without any support, that is how important this method of not damaging any part of the printed object. All that is needed to start removing the printed part is to insert some air between the bottom layer and the build plate, a sharp edge tool can help more than the provided blunt edge tool by the printer manufacturer. It is not by chance it is challenging removing printed parts from the build plate using the provided tool, it is very thick.

[@WolfGirl930]

The most simply explained and comprehensive “starter guide”. I’m looking to get into resin printing and have no idea !! Watched a few other bits of other users content. Still don’t get it. Watched this …. Now I got it !!!

[@beerbrigade3096]

Thank you for covering the settings on all the different slicers! It's nice not having to jump through 6 different videos to see that.

[@Asrtyulg]

Resin 3d printing has been a 7/10 on a plug and play for me. I've been printing for a while and done everything from mounting magnetic build plates, swapping out my FEP, and changing resin a ton of times. KZbin and Reddit have solved any issues I've had with simple searches and without any need to ask for specific help I use the space of 2 IKEA 14 by 14 in lack tables. The setup lives in my living room with a ceiling fan and I mostly print in good weather when I can open a window. It's a 3/10 on the mess factor which is unfortunate but not the end of the world with silicone mats and newsprint and gloves.

[@definitelynotobama6851]

Dude, this literally could not have come out at a better time.

[@NathanielTeel]

So, after watching several of your videos over the past couple days, I was excited to hear about the Anycubic RERF. I got a new resin in today and decided to try and emulate your success and make my own RERF file using the latest Cones of Calibration. What should have been a really quick and easy print.... for some reason is taking several minutes per layer. The original ETA when I started the print on my Anycubic Photon D2.... 46 Hours! I've tried slicing it in Lychee and Chitubox. Both provided a file with the same results. I wish this weren't so complicated.

[@DarrylAdams]

This video is very good. It would have been better a year ago when I was so disgusted with print failure it took almost a year to get back into printing ....

[@Foxomatic]

Jesus mate, this is the best 3d printing video I've ever come across! Thanks very much for tips!

[@AlliDelta]

See! No script required! I'm new to resin printing and so far have had nothing but success. Have been fdm printing for a few years tho and have done a load of research before taking the plunge! I have the anycubic M5s and it is faster than fdm printing at lower quality settings.

[@dantroeber789]

This video came out at the perfect time for me! After the holiday backorder, I finally received my UniFormation GKTwo yesterday. This video is the thing I was just telling myself I should find online as there isn't a comprehensive video (that I've found) on KZbin that explains in depth the workflow to 3D printing from set up to printing. Thank you so much for giving me the information I was hoping to find and then some that I didn't know to be aware of. So excited for my journey into 3D printing after going through a large part of your online catalogue.

[@NomaddUK]

Hi. Thank you SO MUCH for making this video. It was, in all respects, an epic production. I designed and built my own FDM 3D printers and have just decided to take the plunge, so to speak, into resin. I have never owned a resin printer so I am a rank newbie at it. Your video has told me pretty much everything I will need to know in just one video. I cannot thank you enough.

[@AGMiniatures]

This is a fantastic guide for the 'new to printing' like me :D just got a elegoo mars 4 max as my first printer. I really appreciate the time and effort you have taken to break every step down and fully explained the whys and why nots on each element of 3d printing setups. Personally i think this is the best guide out there for first time printing!

[@colegreenwald9403]

Once I just wanted to say thanks for all you do! Just bought the Any cubic M5 on their back to school sale via your referral link! Thanks for all you do!🤘🏻

[@Chupatroopa]

I bought my first 3d printer back in 2012 or so for an exorbitant amount of money. Really enjoyed it, until it came time to clean the bed and realign everything. Then troubleshooting settings for what type of material and brand.. the list kept going and I printed less and less. Then a few years ago I bought a cheaper elegoo mars and wow. Resin printing with this just worked.. minor issues with exposure times depending on brand of material but wow. I have been recommending resin printers to everyone and my old one sits in a corner until I could be bothered to tighten belts and realign everything. Separate note, your channel has been great. I have used your recommendations on who to get models from and even for purchases. I wish you luck making a go of this after your recent life changes.

[@jasongehrke8152]

I'm not even finished with this video. I have had my printer for couple of weeks and have had some issues right out the gate. Don't get me wrong I learned a lot from other content creators before I started but I still wasn't really prepared for the problems. Once in a Six goes over the things that no one really talks about. Explains it like I'm 5 because I don't have the time to learn a new instrument I just want some new miniatures for my game. THANK YOU for sharing all the things you have mentioned thus far. I just needed to comment while I have a moment to process my thoughts. Going over the key exposure settings and understanding how to calibrate the printer along with Resin temperature in this video is probably some of the best I have seen yet. Only thing I can say from my own experience is adding a magnetic plate was well worth all the scraping trouble. Thanks again Once in a Six, i'll be following for my tips as I go through learning my new favorite hobby!!!

[@jasongehrke8152]

I only regret that I can't give you enough thumbs up for part 1!!

[@drvision100]

You brought me back to resin printing! Thanks so much. Can I wait for part 2? Greetings from Germany, Ralf

[@Luke_totally_luke]

I've been watching this video over and over in anticipation. And i finally made the move and bought a Saturn 3. Huge thanks for all the tips in this video 🤘

[@MattJongsma]

You're a bloody legend, going start to finish explaining pretty much every step applicable (with bookmarks no less) is a massive undertaking :)

[@mhbjarkistef]

The handheld camera and diligent editing made the non-script a non-issue, congratulations :D

[@DavidGetchel]

I'm working through some pain printing in a cold garage, these tips are gold!

[@saw2503]

A good alternative for newspaper is those water basins you put under pot plants. They're cheap and UV resistant so you can leave them in the sun(along with leftover supports) to cure where the resin can be scraped of easily. I made a lid for one out of wood and fly screen so i can leave the dirty water for water washable resin to evaporate without bugs and stuff getting in.

[@Khaos_Bull]

I too, use Esun filament for my FDM printer. Because of your channel, i bought an anyubic Photon Mono x2 (it was on sale for 149 USD), and will be supporting your channel to get the random miniatures and them bases.

[@OnceinaSixSide]

Happy printing! 🍻

[@nicholasrandall3507]

I jumped in with no prior knowledge this past weekend. With some free models and auto-support, I was able to make a bunch of decent miniatures. There have been some printing errors due to rookie mistakes, but being able to make a good tabletop mini the same day the printer arrived makes it pretty accessible in my opinion. Edit: I picked up a Saturn 3 Ultra and some water-washable resin, with a washing and curing station.

[@SOLiDNiTROGENv8]

Just wanted to say you have downright the best videos on 3d printing. Thank you for producing great content, and a great resource!

[@ryantaylor6831]

Thanks for the fun contest! My daughters and I really enjoyed participating and watching all the cool designs come in. Thank you for taking the time to walk through them all. It was great to get your thoughts on them!

[@toxicshot7728]

Just picked up at anycubic m3, and have successfully printed 5 things, 2 miniatures for D&D , and I have found it way easier than I expected. Wish I would have got into it much sooner!

[@JeffJohnston-z5b]

A really great get starter video. Should be essential viewing for all new resin printer owners. Also perfect timing for me as I've moved my printer, had a couple of fails, so wanted to re level and check my settings were correct. Very helpful to remind me what to do, picked it dome tips, and cleared up nagging doubts. Thanks.

[@NoobixCube]

Exactly what I was talking about when I mentioned "evergreen content". If this video had been out when I was still just considering resin printing, I'd have watched it two or three times, and then at least once more as I was setting my printer up.

[@kurogiza]

Just want to say thank you for this comprehensive tutorial and reference. I just got my Photon Mono M5 (these were on special, and so am I), and I managed to follow this video and get a super cool adhesion plate test print. Going to do the exposure test next.

[@TheDoranMaster]

Thaaaank you so so much! I've just purchased my first 3d printer and I'm sure I'm going to find this invaluable. Can't wait to watch more of your videos.

[@ryanmisek]

I'll be honest . . . I will probably never jump into resin printing due to the potential mess that I could nay! will, create with resin, the odors/fumes combined with my lack of ventilation options (in my particular space and climate). HOWEVER, I'll say this video was fantastic just walking through and showing how the basics of the whole process works. I really didn't get how things practically worked (and some of your best practices of handling things). I just wanted to let you know this was some really good work and thank you.

[@LordNerdvak]

Quite literally the best title for a video. Thanks for the info.

[@ThisWakingLife]

Thank you for all of the useful information. You have made my printing experience so much better.

[@ruisugarushia]

Thank you, after finding some tutorials here and there for starting 3d printing I've found you through this video. I've learned a lot thanks to you! Gonna check the supporting guide

[@turnipslop3822]

Yo I'm also saying this is super useful and commenting to feed the comment Gods. I am saving this video as I plan to buy a 3D printer with my next pay check. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise.

[@babyb76]

This is hands, down, the very best beginner resource for 3D resin printing. Loved the detail and your methodical approach. Liked and subscribed 🎉

[@TheNelsonsd]

Really useful video. I’ve gone down the rabbit hole with an FDM printer - Bambu A1 Mini using print profiles May by far dragon minis. I love the ease of use - and whilst the minis I print aren’t resin quality they are “good enough” when one takes into account the savings. It’s like when you do DIY - you have to accept things may not be perfect… I may make the jump to resin in the future but for now FDM does enough for me.

[@lostspyder]

This is such an amazing video. There’s so much misinformation and bull in 3D printing and everything here is mostly on point. Amazing work!

[@GeneralRasp]

This was an awesome tutorial on resin printing. Like an actual tutorial showing all the steps and possible issues. Amazing work!

[@hank10111111]

Resin printing at first was plug and play for me then the maintenance of cleaning resin changed it completely. Fdm was plug and play for regular speeds and material but I wanted to do build more add ons and upgrades which required a lot of research.

[@TheFyllekajja]

I dont know if you have to, but i also cure all the waste after printing, the supports, rafts, gloves, papers and after a while the tools i use in post processing (after cleaning them with alcohol) Instead of the uv light you have with a cable i use a uv flashlight. Its great for bonding broken parts, a toothpick dipped in resin, smear on both surfaces and some uv light. Better the glue 🤟

[@EverettWilson]

This is a hell of a video! I expect you'll get lots of people referring to it when people are getting their first resin printer. Question for you (and everyone): Any downsides to removing models from supports before prying from the build plate? Seems like it'd save IPA and lessen wrecks from cracked rafts...

[@Guzwar]

You want to wash and cure the supports too, because if you just dump them into the trash post-printing, they are highly, highly toxic. Yes they're going to the dump, but that doesn't meant they need to be even more damaging to the environment.

[@colegreenwald9403]

Six you are a blessing! I’ve been watching your videos for fun for awhile now and I am picking up my first resin printer today! Can’t wait to buy you a coffee and hop in the discord and share all the awesome prints that you’ve taught me how to print! Keep up all the great work you do!

[@OnceinaSixSide]

Awesome!! Stoked for you :D

[@MtnCactus]

I just got my first printer today. Your videos are a god send

[@pacificcoastminiatures]

Wow, quite the guide - saying it's comprehensive is actually the truth this time. Like your idea of overlapping small prints so they are easier to get off the build plate and wash. I'll use that technique when I print out some n-scale seagulls.

[@aclabonte]

I popped this on to listen in the background while supporting and slicing files, and hoo boy - when you were talking about the settings on your Wash+Cure station I was *staring* at that LED next to "WASH" just waiting for the inevitable... I haven't had such a good belly laugh in a long time! I'm so glad you kept that in the video. I... may have done that once or twice... XD

[@MrCai01]

Suspect I'll be coming back to this one time and time again, thanks for putting in the effort to put this video together.

[@mikecif4123]

You can 3d print and wash/cure in a 2'x2' grow tent. The grow tents can contain and ventelate with appropriate accessories.

[@massimilianocibelli7658]

Amazing content, please keep up with this serie!

[@AnthonyKopah]

Seeing as you like to keep things clean: Rinse your prints on the buildplate before scraping them off (don’t know about your wash station, but the Elegoo combo lets you hang the plate in there). That will also keep your heads from falling through the basket.

[@dontthinkjustcharge]

This video is amazing! I've been printing for a couple of years now and this still gave me a few little tricks. When i was just starting i would have absolutely benefited from this.

[@SerrisMerosi]

as a tip for cleaning, I've got these plastic trays like the kind they use in cafeterias. I use those as my work space, my 3D printer is on one in case anything leaks out, etc... they're plastic, they clean easily and they're not too expensive to replace if they're screwed being cleaning.

[@Dark0Storm]

I started resin and fdm printing at about the same time. I immediately found resin printing to be much easier. My 3 main milestone points of my "journey" were: Getting over the seemingly ubiquitous newbie view that you need to chase the minimum exposure time you can possibly get away with because your detail is going to suffer if you dare go anything over this, I've dialled in and had a blast just printing out minis. Realising how critical temperature is (far more, imo, than exposure) to successful printing and sorting out a heated enclosure. Finding Sunlu ABS which is by far the most resilient resin for minis I've tried (ok with the exception of eSun hard tough, but that's twice the cost). I found I quickly fell in to a routine for post processing that makes it pretty straight forward. Routine maintenance is... not that routine anymore now I treat my fep like a catholic treats their private parts (don't touch it... don't even look at it as much as possible). I agree actual printing is not a hobby, but I do think there is some amount of learning to be done to get there.

[@SigmaZer0]

One of the best videos on resin printing I've watched, thanks a lot!

[@newzerozeroone]

To address the thing you were talking about with it not sticking to the build plate. In my personal experience none of that worked for me. But taking 320 sandpaper and roughing in a cross hatch pattern worked like a charm.

[@tabdoine5305]

Thanks for this comprehensive guide, it helped me a lot when configuring my first printer and I still come back here when troubleshooting. Keep up the good work 👏

[@DtEarth1]

Wow what a crazy video. Very well done. Wealth of knowledge in here. You're other videos you talked about having to make each video beter and better. This one surely is but please done get burnt out. I really enjoy your vids and don't want you to not enjoy it anymore.

[@OnceinaSixSide]

Glad you enjoyed it! For me this video was the quickest I've made in a long time actually haha. I removed all pressure from myself to cram every second with B roll, clever transitions and sound effects, and focused on just getting information across and it was very refreshing 😁

[@Fatecalling55]

i just picked up an ender 3 and it has been challenging, but rewarding at times. I'm definitely trying to stick to bigger projects since once things are leveled and set up, you can just let it do its thing

[@CryptkeyprVT]

One thing I'd like to see is a list of concerns and things to be aware of when you own pets and you get into 3d printing. Things to be careful of, ect.

[@nickxx9729]

if you want to extract a vat clean without hassle shown in a video just stick a support raft with supports in the corner while it cures, that way the clean layer will have a handle

[@OnceinaSixSide]

I show that method in this video first :)

[@jehk72]

EDIT: just past the 1hour mark and this video is full of great info for pretty much any level of hobbyist. I especially loved the section around the 1:11:00 mark where you discuss tips for how to actually arrange the build plate. So many videos focus on orientation and completely gloss over strategies to put the most models on a plate while maintaining good printing practices like FEP health and easy post processing. Thank you! This is perfect for my brother who just got a new printer. I know I can give him the key details but this is a perfect video to share

[@WIBRTyranT]

58:08 just to point out, anycubic has it set correct. the reason it's confusing is because while you're expecting the light to show up on the screen in the spot you chose in the slicer, you're placing items on the build plate in the slicer, not on the screen. so mirror it horizontally and boom, there it is, in the lower right. we're basically worm's eye viewing build plates lmao. literally just looking at it from a different point of view. otherwise, been a good video so far.

[@armacarion4030]

This got me from thinking "I can't get into resin printing" to having a printer and printing some lovely Legion figures. Thank you!

[@bradley-jamesnorris4499]

Just getting into sla printing, and I have to say you give me dankpods vibes from back in the iPod mod days!

[@frankderosa77]

Thanks. Totally inexperienced and you've enlightened me enough I'm willing to give it a try.

[@AL-jo6wh]

Great video just starting my 3d journey. Saturn 3 ultra

Really enjoy all your video's, looking forward to your different video formats you have been talking about and really hope your Patreon takes off! You deserve it!

[@FSULAUBACH]

Holy in depth batman! Can you get any more in depth! Ive been resin printing for a year now and still watched the whole thing. Good stuff!

[@chewykreis3932]

Resin was so easy out of the box compared to My FDN experience. And since then have switched to 90% resin and 10% filament just due to ease

I started on resin printing and I've just now added an FDM printer and now I can safely say that resin printing is much more plug and play than FDM.

While Anycubic's R_E_R_F system is great, and it's nice to have it built in to the printer, you can generate a multiple exposure test in UVTools for other printers that don't have it built in; I do it on my Elegoo Saturn 2 when I'm trying to dial in a new resin. You can either build an exposure test plate in UVTools itself or you can tile a model (like the cones or town test) and print that.

I don't own a printer in general and I find this so mind opening.

Comment for engagement! Also 9/10. Been printing for just over a year, Mars3Pro & now Mars4Max. Had about 8 failed prints all year. I only auto-support. I feel lucky
