Hi. Thanks for all the views and wonderful comments. I wanted to address the UV Lamp and the fact that I wasn't wearing gloves while post curing. You can't see it in the shot, but I was wearing my UV Protective eyewear. The ones shown earlier in the video. You should not look at artificial 405nm UV Light without protective eyewear. It can damage your eyes. Sorry that I didn't mention this in the video. As far as UV Light and skin. I've had several comments that I shouldn't be exposing my skin to the UV light either. Including a comment from a close friend. As you can tell, I am very pale and am sensitive to sunlight. However the UV lamp in the video is similar to that used in a nail salon. It is narrow band 405nm. Research has shown that exposure to this type of artificial UV light does not increase the risk of skin cancer. See link below. It's safer than the same amount of exposure to direct sunlight. Therefore I haven't worried much about it. I could have just as easily taken the part outside and sun cured it for a few minutes. I prefer to post cure more slowly and instead use the UV lamp, which is less powerful than the sun. Still, better to be safe than sorry. Therefore I do recommend that you wear gloves and avoid prolonged skin exposure to the UV light. www.probeauty.org/docs/nmc/news-UV-Nail-Lamps-Little-Risk-Skin-Cancer_2012-12-09.pdf

Question...Have you tried reusing the printed leftover resin, i mean, melting it to make it liquid form again, to be reused, thus, cutting cost, have you tried it and has it worked ?

@Desca2001

@@kingtigertank72 That is not how Resin works, you cannot remelt it like you can with FDM prints using thermoplastics (like PLA), because it not a melted polymer in the first place. Resin is made from Monomers and a UV-active component. When it gets in contact with UV-Light, a Polymerization reaction starts, creating long chains (polymers) out of a lot of the monomers. This process is no reversable by heat. But usually the amount of resin you "waste" (for support structures and maybe failed prints) is quite low, and all of the still liquid resin in the vat is perfectly usable. If you want more detailed information, check out the video "Ph.D. Chemist Explains 3D Printer Resin"

Congrats with 10K! You deserve a lot more however. The quality of information and the way you bring it are just flawless. This video is just another example. Good to hear about the sponsorship too. Best wishes to you!

Wow, I'm looking at getting into 3d printing and this video was absolutely perfect! Clearly and concisely went over everything necessary to get started, with links to more in depth topics. I don't normally subscribe after watching one video (especially about more niche topics) but you earned one from me, keep it up!

I am speechless with how well this video is planned and executed. I'm a maker and have been doing 3d printing for a while. Just about to pul the trigger on a couple of resin printers and this was definitely the best video I've seen on resin printing tips and overviews. Excellent work here.

I watched this video several months ago and I find myself watching it again before I make a purchasing decision. This is such an informative and professional video. You really did a great job!

Crazy you've gone from 10k to 40k in a year! You deserve the attention, you are doing an excellent job capturing and teaching this information.

Tons of great info in this video. Wish I had seen before buying my Phrozen Sonic Mighty, but still glad it exists now. Thanks for sharing!

Very informative video! I've been doing FDM printing for 4 years or so and while I still believe it's my current best choice for my own purposes, I will always adore the sheer amount of detail that's possible with SLA printing. Glad to see it's starting to enter an area where it's becoming affordable for most people who want to get into it

I've had a FDM printer several years and want to try resin. This was the perfect video for explaining how to get started.

Wow! This was a fantastic video. I've been looking to get into 3D printing, and have been waiting for the resin printers to come down in price, as I wasn't interested in getting into PLA printing. Very informative, and having an entire section on how to prepare your workspace, and what items you'll want to get....you realize how much trial and error you just saved me? Too good to me!

Thank you for the fantastic video. The most simple and straightforward explanation of 3D printing I've seen in a video. I'm going to use it in my future classes. But, for me personally, I wanted to thank you because as someone who is thinking about adding my first resin printer to the mix I had some questions and you answered them all. So glad you mentioned UV light and windows as that changes everything I was thinking about as far as placement.

Thank you Michael for putting this video together! I am looking at getting a 3D printer and this is a huge help, subscribed!

You've just reached 10k and in only 2 months later you are at 15,600! Halfway through and I feel as if ive struck gold. Sir clearly you are doing something right. Subbed

This is one of the best 3d printing videos I've watched, thank you for the awesome graphics explaining how things work. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Wow, that was the best getting started in resin printing video I have watched. You present the how to in a much easier way than most other videos, very easy to understand the process. Looking forward to getting a printer soon. Again, great video, thank you for sharing. A new subscriber.

Very comprehensive guide to resin 3d printing. Thank you for making a video like this.

Hands down the best comprehensive detailed summary of SLA printer with so the info a person needs. Also a very well put together video production. I enjoyed watching and listening. I appreciate the time it takes to produce high quality videos and the time put in to make it so good. Thanks again, you gained a fan.

Really great explanations all around. As a total novice, this video makes getting into resin printing way less daunting

This is by far and away the best 3D printer guide ever. Much love!!

This is the best video I've seen so far. I was skeptical about getting a resin printer because I was under the impression that if one drop of resin got on your skin, you would drop dead instantly! 👻 The stove reference, which I use several times a day, changed my mind.😁 I started thinking about other things I use that can be dangerous, like my table saw, my car, etc. I think I'll give resin printing a try after all.

Don't be fooled. Getting resin carelessly on you can cause you to have incredibly intense allergic reactions. Check reddit for those that have failed to follow proper safety precautions with pictures of visible skin damage. Over time, even a microscopic drop of resin can still cause those reactions. Resin is not to be messed with.

An additional useful item to use is puppy training pads (aka wee wee pads) they are an absorbant layer on top of a plastic backing. Its great for managing spills. Put them underneath where your working or printer. If there is any spill just pick up the whole thing and toss. So much easier than trying to wipe things up with paper towels.

I’ve deff gotta get me a resin 3D printer! It’ll shorten my waiting list making me able to keep my books open instead of having to open & close them repeatedly for orders.

This vid is great, the printer I ended up getting was the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K and it makes some real nice quality prints. Made a few minis, and 1/10 scale figures so far. Going to work on some bigger stuff soon! Thanks and keep the content coming!

I just purchased a Mono 2 today, I cannot wait. So I've been binge watching 3d videos. I really enjoyed this, informative and gave me somethings to think about. Thank you :)

Thanks for the very clear instructions. I myself am doing FDA 3D printing for a reasonable time already (started out wit a acrylic monster a few years ago, but using a Creality Ender 5 with improvements now). I was thinking into diving into resin printing for a while now. As I also do Holography I brew my developer and blech baths, and so I am no stranger to using chemicals. I think I can handle this resin stuff too. As I do not have a separate room or garage box, I was thinking about building a closet with ventilation that sucks air out and use a tube to blow it outside the window. That way I avoid having harmful fumes inside the house. Secondly - I think about using water washable resin (Elegoo, Wanahoo and other brands), and so I can avoid using a lot of (expensive and flammable) alcohol. Anyway - Thanks for this video. It makes trying out raising printing even more tempting.

What a great video. Very well done. Very informative. One of the best KZread how to video's I have seen.

I have an Elegoo Saturn 2 sitting on my dining room table at this moment, still sealed in its original box. I have been using an Ender 3 FDM printer for years and love it but decided to take the leap to resin with the Saturn 2. As one might expect, I have been watching a number of 3d resin printer videos and have found this video to be the best by far. I really like your straightforward, honest and direct approach to explaining the finer details of resin printing and the fact that you do so without relying on that overly-hyped and forced "toxic positivity" that makes me cringe and immediately shut the videos off just makes for a perfect presentation. Thank you for not being a schlock jock and actually offering useful information. I do have a question that I had not previously considered. As someone who wants to conserve resin, should I consider getting a smaller printer for smaller prints and save the Saturn 2 for larger projects? Amazon has the Mars 3 Pro for $299 now, is that a good price?

This channel is way too underrated for the quality, the camera angles, animation and script are amazing!

Great video, only tweak I'd make if you ever do a revision, is to be careful about the scraper recommendation. The plastic one is just for the vat as it is gentle on the FEP, whereas you want to use a metal one on the build plate. So two scrapers with two purposes. It would be good to mention wash and cure stations too which help simplify the washing and post-cure. Great job on this!
