New Elegoo Mars 3 - any advice for getting into resin

Here is my brand new (second hand) Elegoo Mars 3 printer.

I've had some experience with FDM but this is my first time with resin.

Current progress:

  • Brought a VOC face mask and nitrile gloves. Do I need UV glasses?
  • ordered soy based resin and a wash/cure station
  • installed and found chitubox slicer isn't great
  • don't understand plug drilling and hollowing
  • plan to paint mimi's from it. Advice on painting resin?

I know some of this is basic but I felt it might promt interesting conversation.

Upgrading my GPU (intel or amd?)
  • I have a similar setup but a older cpu and moved from a GTX 1660 to the RX7600. I feel happy with it and its handled all I've thrown at it but I wasn't after anything cutting edge.

  • my first 40k fully painted mini

    My first fully painted warhammer 40k mini. I recently got into the mini side while visiting one of the stores. They sold me a starter kit and I got this commissar.

    Please be kind. I know I need a lot of practice but it's the first time I've done this sort of thing. Still I am proud of it and felt it worth a post.
