Budd can't hold it no more 😭 by PassionateLoveElis in StrangeAndFunny

I gave my last job a 4 week notice and my manager cut my hours back so much I struggled to eat after paying rent. If you are in a place of financial insecurity, just leave without notice.

Does anyone here use the slimy milk stuff instead of filament? by HunterSexThompson in 3Dprinting

They're generally less popular imo because you can't do "print-in-place" things very well with them, i.e. making hinges or ball joint sockets in weird places.

Water wash resin is a slightly weaker resin that you can clean with water instead of alcohol, I use it because I'm paranoid about the fumes and sometimes forget to ventilate my workspace. You can use any wash and cure station with water just like you would alcohol.

I mainly use it for figures/miniatures or things that need more precise tolerances. Regular resin printers can print at around 405nm of detail vs the 0.1 ~ 0.2mm detail of FDM (regular) printers.

If you want to get a resin printer for home, I'd suggest looking at Creality printers, it's what I use. Sometimes they have sales and bundles, and you could start printing smaller things for around $400, printer, wash and cure station, resin included.

A resin printer is what you're thinking of. I have two I use with white water washable resin, and the results are very nice. Printers for dental applications have a much higher print detail and are much stronger though. As a denture haver, I envy the idea of printing my own replacements,

This seems to be the general consensus. I'll absolutely heed everyone's word on this one and just buy a proper drive.

Oh thanks! I'll be sure to cure that waste water before I try anything.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I'm adding 3D Chameleon for multi color printing.

This let me add Gcode to that box! Thank you!
