a little rotation video of my resin skull print 💀✨ scanned from a skull in suzy’s collection & printed just under full size. a power cut stopped it right before the end 😩 but i think that makes it imperfectly perfect 🙂

Every forum question boils down to "can I use a nail lamp." Yes. What actually matters is wavelength, coverage on undercuts, and knowing when to stop. Wattage barely factors in. Ranked from a $20 lamp to a real station.

Spent months blaming resin and supports for failures that came and went. The real problem was the folding table the Saturn sat on. Moved it onto something that does not flex when I walk past and most of it stopped. Vibration was never on my list.

FILTER. DOWNLOAD. PRINT.
Filter by category, stone, and setting, then download a print-ready STL. Run it on the resin printer and hand the client a physical piece before you cast. 3djewelrycatalog.com
Tip: if you hollow a mini, put in two drain holes, not one. A single hole traps a pocket of uncured resin that seeps out through the paint weeks later. Second hole on the opposite side and it actually drains while it washes.

Honest question: how big is your unpainted pile right now? I print considerably faster than I paint and the grey drawer keeps winning. Has anyone actually landed on a ratio that holds, or are we all just printing the next thing.

Dungeon tiles are not minis. Flat on the plate, sparse supports underneath, cheaper resin, longer wash. I ran my first OpenForge set on character settings and put support scars across half the floor.

Tip: when a print fails and there is a cured slab welded to the FEP, put the scraper down. Pour the resin back into the bottle, set the empty vat under the cure lamp for a minute, and the slab pops off in one piece without nicking the film.

Hot take: 12K resolution is not what is holding your minis back. At 28mm the pixel stopped being the limit a couple of panel generations ago. Supports, orientation and exposure are doing all the work. Buy the cheaper screen, spend it on resin.

Resin printer roundups rank by build volume. Nobody mentions the machine eats a square foot of desk and stands a foot and a half tall, before the wash and cure gear. Measured footprints, and what going small costs.

Tip: mark one corner of your build plate and always mount it the same way round. Plates are not perfectly symmetric, and flipping it 180 degrees quietly undoes the level you just set. A paint pen dot saves you one mystery failed print.

Chased a print failure for a week with exposure times and it was lift speed the whole time. Slowed the pull off the FEP and the same file came off clean first try. I had been adjusting the setting I understood instead of the one that mattered.

Printing tip: cutting your supports down before removing them fully makes
cleanup way faster and reduces breakage on thin details.
My fav flower, a purple nerd~💜
The model wasn't super-well thought out, I spent 3+ hours sanding/grinding parts to make them fit.
I wish my cam could capture purples well. I had to compensate by adjusting white balance, but it's still bleh lol

Hot take: resin printing does not save you money on minis. Printer, resin, IPA, gloves, FEP, screens, the failed plates. You do it because you want the exact model you pictured, at the size you want, tonight. That is the real reason.

Prints failing in the same corner of the plate no matter where you move the model is not the resin or your supports. That is a dying LCD. How to spot it, how to swap the panel, and why you recalibrate after.
