I’ve truly debated getting a FDM printer for those bigger bases to save on resin but I hate learning new things, as u know, but I found this very deep and clear. Like it def makes me feel less overwhelmed by the idea of getting a FDM printer. One day… lol😂

I’m just getting started in 3D printing, and this is one of the best videos I found! Very thorough explanations and easy to follow along. Thanks!

Also your camera is top notch in ur room. So clean. If we do collab videos we might be in trouble due to that amazing camera quality

While I am still quite new tot he 3D printing world I have myself pasted these steps, BUT I wish I had this video a month+ ago when I started. Great video, and sorry I did not find it earlier lol.

I was advised that a resin printer would be more effective for detailing than a filament but this print looks fine for what I’m trying to produce. Opinion?
