Hey folks! I just joined after paying $20 for a custom die I designed to be printed at Shapeways and deciding I wanted to look into getting my own SLA. I have a Tevo Tornado for larger build volumes, and I'm about to pull the trigger on the AnyCubic Photon to compliment it. I'll be printing mostly miniatures and dice (either as-is or for mold positives). I have a few questions if you don't mind helping out a newb before I buy ($300 seems like a great freakin' deal). I know there's a learning curve with something new like this, but I'm a quick study!
1.) the consumable clear UV sheet, how long do they last? I know they provide an extra, just curious how often I'd be buying replacements and what they cost.
2.) Anyone use these for dice? I'm wondering since it's resin if printing dice is enough, or if they are better used as a master for casting (which I do as well).
3.) Resin bottle is about $20? Do they last a long time? I know it depends on how much you print, but I'm just curious how much resin gets used
4.) Do regular STLs work with a DLP SLA? I think they get converted to images, right, so the software must have to convert the SLA to something the printer can read.
5.) Octoprint - I know it has a USB port, though I don't know if it's supported by Octoprint. I could just be non-lazy and look myself, but might as well seed the conversation in case someone here has anything to add on that front.
6.) I'm told cleanup is more of a thing and the smell can get pretty strong. Using this in my basement probably not a good thing then?
Thanks for having me. Looking forward to conversing with you on this.
