March 19, 2022: Getting Into The 3D Printing Game

All the cool kids are doing it, so I used the list of recommended devices we posted to thefantasytrip.game (with one minor tweak; I bought the Mars 3 instead of the Mars 2) and ordered everything I need to start 3D printing. It's going to take a few weeks to get the machine up and running properly (mostly because of limited time and not how tough it is to use the equipment), but now it is only a matter of time until miniatures start magically appearing in the house.

If you want to get an idea of what it's like for a newbie to get into the act of 3D printing resin miniatures, I suggest these DI posts that Steve has shared as he started printing minis at home.

• Now I'm 3D Printing (Part 1)
• Now I'm 3D Printing (Part 2)
• Now I'm 3D Printing (Part 3)
• Now I'm 3D Printing (Part 4)
• Now I'm 3D Printing (Part 5)
• Now I'm 3D Printing (Part 6)
• Now I'm 3D Printing (Part 7)
• NI3DP Part 8 – Improved Washing, And Assorted Observations.

I'll post a few pics of minis just as soon as the printer has done the necessary work of turning resin into awesome models.
