-Strainer (for when you have to empty resin back into a container)

-Silicone squeegee (checking your FEP or NFEP for cured resin and mixing resin in the tank)
FOSHIO 2 Pack Small Squeegee for Vinyl: amzn.to/3NAvFFR
(small size/durable great for mixing and easier to not overflow the resin tank when checking)

(larger size is faster but be careful of overflowing the resin tank when sliding it across the FEP)
-Disposable gloves (for touching resin)

EIOKIT Dog Food Mat Silicone Non Slip Pet Bowl Mats: amzn.to/3U3iGi5
Amazon Basics Waterproof Anti-Slip Silicone Mat: amzn.to/3fvWzlq

(Flat for protecting work surfaces)
-Paper Towels (clean up whatever you cant prevent)

-Air Purifier (Mini just for around your work area to lower VOC's)

Im between this and Atezr, any thoughts?

[@Sanjukta-Suchandra81609]

Does this also have the magnetic display?

[@lilpopo489Lilpop]

Why no air assist?

[@Neelakshi-Pradeepta1277]

How good is the resume engraving?

[@Dayanita-Shefali38658]

Do you need an enclosure for this?

[@Sharada-Piyali419]

Is it noisy?

[@Archita-Janaki419]

manual focus is pretty error proof

[@Apsara-Aruna9488]

You do need an enclosure if you are engraving and cutting wood

[@Sundari-Rudrapriya4793]

not sure if I should trust the autofocus
