omg - its a mess - i hate it
but the results are so great - so i continue accepting the mess
you need gloves, ideal a mask to accept the smell, tons of paper, iso for cleaning.
without clean & cure i was close to stop it - as the final parts did not make me happy - some small buttoncaps went well, but bigger items made me sad
- i print with std settings - no big deviations
- i have my own "house" to mess around - close to the carrera track - so no one of my family is impacted
- i use large flip-chart papers to cover my furniture
- preparation is super easy - no mess at all
- after printing the mess starts
eg getting flat button caps away from the plate can cause drops here and there
- cleaning the parts i hated, and doing the cure in the sun too - during winter it was hard to do so - OK with the 100EUR upgrade this process is great, and beside less messing around, the parts are much nicer, more accurate
- afterwards further mess - cleaning the plate and cleaning the tank is sort of ugly work, but each print makes me faster and "cleaner" eg yesterday i bought 0,5l plastic cups for filtering - i filter the resin after printing - this is much better than my previous 0,3 cups (looking like desk of 3y old kids playing with colour
finally when the smell and mess is gone - just seeing my great jewels i designed and printed - the frustration is gone - and i motivate myself for the next messy session
