Hello everyone!
I've been thinking about buying Photon for a long time and I've always been delaying it. My biggest question was whether to buy this or the Moai, but finally I think that this week I will ask for my photon! But since it will be my first resin-based printer, I wanted to ask you for advice on a few things:
First, I know that the resin is quite smelly. I have the possibility to use the printer in an unoccupied place, but if it were possible, I would like to have it at home. Do you recommend some type of ventilation system, or purifying filter, that can be purchased separately to redirect or eliminate that odor?
I have read that the plastic sheet needs to be changed eventually, and I would like to have spare sheets from the beginning. Do They come included in the printer? If not, what sheets do you recommend me to buy?
My main use of the printer will be for figures and miniatures, since I am a 3D sculptor for board games! I know that the printer comes with some sample resin, but I would like to buy a gray resin that can be used to make silicone molds. What do you think is the best? Which brands work best with Photon?
And also about resins, how can I know which settings to use for each one? Is there any common rule? Have each resin its own settings? Is there any recommended guide for beginners?
And finally! Any advice you want to give me that I did not think about? Any beginner experience you wanted to share? I'm interested in everything you can tell me!
Thank you very much!
