    It's been brought to my attention that the audio is in mono in this video and I apologize for that. I usually record in stereo, but did a firmware update on my mics the day before I recorded this one. It seems that it changed a setting and was recording in mono with a backup channel. I have addressed this now and future videos will be back in stereo!

    IMHO the best starter printer bang for the buck is the Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro. I've had nothing but success with it from the first test print. Setup was easy, it's not blazing fast but for churning out entire tables worth of wargaming terrain cheap it saves buckets of money. I am using Lychee slicer and it's been easy as pie, and isn't a printer that needs a bunch of upgrades. Self levelling, offset was super easy to set, direct drive filament feeder that is easy to load. As someone who wanted to print more than fiddle around with the printer it's been a good purchase.

    What about workspace, venting, etc. I don’t have an extra room to print in and I e read that you should use a respirator and not to print near furniture you won’t want covered with excess dust or filament. I was looking to purchase the mars 3 pro for my 8 year old and of course learn along with him. Is resin harder to use than what is discussed in this video, and is resin the reason to need a respirator? It is indeed overwhelming.

    • @TheEdgeofTech
      @TheEdgeofTech  10 месяцев назад

      Hi! Yes, resin is a different monster. It is much more messy and toxic if not done right. Ventilation is a must along with gloves, saftey glasses and something to protect the work surface. There is also more of a smell. I really would start with an FDM filament printer! I think you would both love it! Filament is much easier to controll the mess and you don't have to wash and cure it either.

    The first thing you need to get started in 3D printing is getting proficient at using a typical 3D printing software. Which by now should be a standard part of MS Windows.
