The loud fan is a safety feature. It guarantees that the user won’t stay too close to the fumes. lol

Back 15 years ago when I used to be in the jewelry manufacturing, this technology existed at the cost of $50k. And the machine was the size of a large Xerox copy machine.

[MakersMuse]

Great video with a REALLY good message on the safety aspect :D I love how low cost this technology is becoming and with good advocates like Joel, everyone will be able to learn how to use it to make amazing things.

[andrewlawrence]

As someone who backed the orange 30 kickstarter it is really great to see that the little brother of that machine is performing well.
It's nice to see some attention being paid to the safety concerns around resin printing as I see too many people on yt picking prints off the build plate with their fingers and touching the resin without gloves.
Great video, keep it up.

[Gormadt]

Thank you for the disclaimer at the beginning, I don't feel enough channels do that.

[ruggeddusty]

I order d one of these from their Kickstarter, and I can't wait to get it. Supposed to begin delivery around August, I believe, so this is the first real-world review I've seen of it, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks, Joel!

I snip the supports of before curing because it's usually more flexible at this state. after curing, snapping thin supports can stress and break a connected thin part.

[Arctic]

The reason to cut the supports off before everything cures all the way is that when you do wait they tend to snap and not cut. When they snap they make a small concave on the part itself so if you're not extremely careful you will get pits on the part and depending on your tolerances that could make it useless. When the resin is still that little bit soft, it will rip and shear. It looks worse at first but it rips straight across or even sometimes pinches so it leaves a convex surface on the part that you can sand down later (or take off with a Xacto). Also with more delicate parts, letting the resin cure all the way could make the support just as strong as the part itself so sometimes cutting it can make a piece of the part snap off just from the movement of your blade or snips.

TLDR: It's faster to cut if it's all cured and often a lot of the work can be done with pressure rather then tools; it's more precise and cleaner cuts that have less of a chance at ruining detail on the part when it's not cured all the way.

10/10 editing. Venelope glitching video at the start there.

I highly advise using a respirator not just fans!! Those fumes can do lasting damage. Including when you are sanding resin!!!

[elfpimp]

Wow, that's some sick detail for a printer at that price. I can see myself using this to reproduce casting molds for small metal parts no longer available for classic cars.

Hey Joel - As a respiratory therapist, I applaud that you took time to explain and warn against the potential hazards of inhaling SLA resin vapors and fumes. >15 million people have asthma in this country alone, and + other types of chemical exposures contribute to that problem as well as other types of pulmonary disease. On a macro level, we can all probably appreciate that inhaling large amount of resin vapors could be harmful. However, one of the things that often goes overlooked is the effects of very low dose/long term exposure (as opposed to a brief high dose exposure). As these devices become more prevalent in homes, I can foresee that there will be some people who are adversely affected largely because of ignorance of the risks and carelessness. I think it's great that you took the time to point out the potential risks and appropriate handling and use of UV resin and I hope that everyone who watches this takes heed. Thanks for all you do. You're an excellent teacher and role model. Now, where was that Amazon link?

[Diegesis]

there is a benefit to snipping before curing. pre cured resin is softer and easier to snip. once it's cured it's quite brittle and increases your odds of breaking your model while snipping.

[Henchman]

Drill a hole into the bottom of the solid printed bust and see what's inside!

[themeek]

Awesome! I'm finally gonna be able to buy a resin printer after FDM printing for 4 years! I've been looking forward to this day! Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

[DHP]

Excellent video Joel, I haven't bought one yet but when I do, I will wear safety glasses, just to be extra safe.I worked in Construction for 25 years and things happen.Always wear your PPE, Personal, Protective, Equipment. Love all your videos..

[RonFloyd]

Unbelievable price! Too messy, and ventilation issues for me, so not for me - but a heck of a way to get into it.
Thanks Joel and Sean!

[dren]

Great intro. I'm glad to see people talking about the additional safety concerns surrounding resin printing.
Similar to what you stated, I was waiting for either the price to come down or less mess. The price of the current crop of small resin printers makes them very appealing.

[ckaiser]

To help get the parts off of the printer buy a piece of stainless steel the same size as your build plate and keep it in the freezer. When you are ready to take the part off place the build plate onto the freezer plate and leave it for around 10 ish minutes and it should pop right off without any breaking or any effort. That is what we do with our resin printer at work and the parts basically fall right off the build plate!

The 3D Printing Today podcast has brought up issues with low cost resin printers. The LCD screen on many are considered consumables, but are almost impossible to replace without breaking something. They are basically disposable printers
