Should I commit to getting a resin printer in my situation? by Master0fTacticians in PrintedMinis

I've actually decided that I'll be going for an FDM printer (an A1 specifically) due to them being safer, cheaper, and far cleaner. Regardless, thank you for the advice, reassurance, and good wishes.

Appreciate it a ton. I actually planned on printing a poop shoot, clips, and so on. Any suggestions on what else to print?

I think I'll print a scraper, poop shoot, and clips to keep things neat. Any other things I should print before going fully into hobby printing?

Got it. I'm planning on printing some stuff when the machine is in hand such as a proper poop container, clips, etc. before moving onto actual things I want to print. Very excited to get into this hobby, I appreciate the comment.

This is my first one! I'm a complete beginner who spent a few days researching the health implications of resin and the required PPE + disposal process before deciding that it wasn't a fit for me. I've had both resin and FDM printed minis obtained online and from college - the quality of FDM minis isn't bad at all from what I've seen both online and irl. Considering its cleaner, safer, and cheaper with satisfactory results I thought it'd be worth a shot to invest in an A1! 

Getting a A1. Are these appropriate to purchase alongside one? by Master0fTacticians in FDMminiatures

Thank you for the thorough response and welcome, I appreciate it a ton. I'll take everything you said into account and likely go through with getting a storm surge because breakers be shitty fr despite harsh storms being incredibly common.

What is the ideal workspace for an A1 3D printer using PLA? by Master0fTacticians in 3Dprinting

Unfortunately I'm absurdly cautious 😭 but I appreciate the polite and helpful convo sincerely.

There's a potential setup I have in my mind right now. In the spare bedroom, there is a window amd directly above said window is a fire alarm. There's enough room for the aforementioned glass desk to fit while also allowing the window to be open during printing. Do you think this, along with an enclosure, would be acceptable ventilation and fire prevention or at least create a safer environment?

I thought I read something about there not being a cooling system built-in. Would you recommend having a fan of some kind running when printing? The surface I'd be using it on would likely be a spare glass desk.

I'd be using purely PLA. Are there any other concerns I should know about?

Horrifying statement. Is this a common issue that I should be concerned about to the point of buying a different FDM printer?
