I am about 2 months out from getting mine but damn...its a resin terrain maker for $400!!! Its going to be so good for display boards and such since I have no skills at scratch building terrain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelharis Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 I've been telling my wife not to get me anything for birthdays and fathers days to save up "credit" for a resin 3d printer. Hoping it will be a Saturn when they become available late this year. Meanwhile I've been collecting stls like crazy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Glacius Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hey guys, So I'm thinking about getting myself a printer. Money is a factor, but so is easy of use. I don't think I'll be using it to make models per se, but terrain and movement trays will definitely be on the list. Just looking for some current advice.

Ish Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 I’ve been extremely happy with my Flashforge Adventurer 3. Incredibly easy to use, quiet to operate, and extremely easy to set up... But it’s on the expensive side for an FDM printer. Plus the usual trade-off of FDM versus Resin of not being the same level of quality.

Torg Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 got my i3 mk3s put together over the weekend and have a couple printed samples that seem to show things are in great shape and dialed in. Very happy so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ender 3 is a good beginners 3d printer but you have to level it often and there are some things to take care of. You may want one with Auto Leveling included. It is overall cheaper than Resin Printers but once I get my Elegoo Saturn.....Resin Terrain will be mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torg Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Filament - where does everyone get supplies? I have a few spools I had picked up - and I have ordered some direct from Prusa when I picked up the printer. But now I am running low and am looking for options. I am considering Amazon - and I had thought my local Fry's (wilsonville) had a decent supply - but yesterday I found their shelves bare. Brands, suppliers... suggestions welcome -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 I just order mine on Amazon. The only problem I run into is that I’ve twice now ordered ABS instead of PLA... I mean, sure, the item name and the product description clearly says ABS, but, y’know, that’s clearly not accurately conveying the information. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Amazon. Only problem is finding a filament you like that's consistently available; right now, everyone and their dog is printing up PPE for hospitals and the like. Don't get me wrong, go makers, but it's making it hard for us hobbyists to keep up. EDIT: I just discovered this one this morning. I'm going to order my next spool through them, and see how it is; if it's good stuff, then I'll just go with them. https://www.matterhackers.com/store/c/mh-build-series-pla?utm_source=MatterHackers+Newsletter&utm_campaign=fd483e50b8-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_01_30_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_dccd3cdce8-fd483e50b8-128194651 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Any opinions on this guy? Not shooting for anything big, mostly heads/guns/bits. I think I'm locked into resin vs filament but not 100%. More interested in adding things to existing things than making whole things...if that makes sense;) https://www.amazon.com/ANYCUBIC-Assembled-Innovation-Off-line-Printing/dp/B07TVW9HGH/ref=aw_pd_cart_vw_crc_3_2/131-2231581-3186567?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07TVW9HGH&pd_rd_r=f7418202-128b-40bc-bcb8-563ffe4969b4&pd_rd_w=sUhI9&pd_rd_wg=9JROz&pf_rd_p=1d4b8457-b5e1-40c5-929e-bfdeb5d7826e&pf_rd_r=ZZDW9ADTKET934PF08FD&psc=1&refRID=ZZDW9ADTKET934PF08FD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 The Photon is widely regarded to be one of the best resin printers on the market. Once I live somewhere that I can vent the fumes, I plan on getting one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I have the photon S... it is a really nice little printer. I love it for detail work and bits _ and epic army stuff lol. The new photon mono x is due out soon - which will have a much larger print area. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Ooh, I might wait for the X. If the price is comparable, I'll go with the bigger one. I need to get a laptop anyways in order to use either one. No desktop and my laptop pooped out a bit back. Been dragging my feet on getting a replacement because I never need one.

Sgt. Rock Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Okay, question for the hive mind. Those who have used resin and FDM printers, which is more reliable? I have an Ender 3, which is a great little printer, but I'm getting really tired of having to mess around with it and dial it in every time I get a fresh roll of filament. I can get a Photon for $170, and if I had to, I could bodge together a vent system to barf the fumes out the window. Is a resin printer going to require less messing with to get it to work right?
