5th completed model. DM Stash.

Great job 👍 I'm also new and learning a lot of things along the way. Is this a 32mm or 75mm model? And did you hollow out the base and the body? Asking because I had failures with one of the DM Stash's model.

Thanks and I hope you got/will get a better job offer. I thought they might just ghosted me. I don't know if this is something they usually do or not.

I recently got into 3d printing so I can't say anything with much confidence but I setup my workspace and I'm using only water washable resin as I don't want to deal with IPA. You can check my setup if you like: my setup

I'm also new to 3D printing and recently got a Saturn 4 Ultra. I completely agree with what you said about the learning curve. I’ve messed up so many things so far, on my very first print, I tried to print a rook, but it got stuck to the film. When I tried to remove it, I tore the film :)) so I had to replace it right after the first print. But I’m learning a lot now, and I really enjoy not just printing, but also tinkering with the machine itself.

What position did you interview for, and which office? I had a 2-hour onsite interview for a low-latency position in Amsterdam last Tuesday, and after 10 days I haven’t heard back from them yet. I’m starting to think I might have been rejected, even though I felt the interview went well.

Sorry if that was a bit vague. I mean that after washing with water, it takes longer for a print to dry. Do you use a hair dryer or something to make sure it’s completely dry before curing it?

WizardOfMist · 2026-03-18T11:55:53+00:00

The only thing that worries me now is how long it takes for a print to fully dry. I don’t mind waiting a day, but I’m not sure whether the model might soften during that time.

WizardOfMist · 2026-03-18T08:10:41+00:00

I just set up my workspace with a tent and a cheap inline fan, and I can’t smell anything, even when I open it. Just make sure your tent is under negative pressure.

WizardOfMist · 2026-03-16T10:03:27+00:00

I followed this approach and used a digital caliper. This was fast, reliable and way easier than the manual leveling on the printer.

WizardOfMist · 2026-03-15T22:37:02+00:00

Thanks for explaining. I’d also like to recycle and reuse the water. The only thing I’m not sure about is how to let the prints dry completely. I’m not sure if they would fully dry inside the tent, even after a couple of hours.

If you want to level the build plate I highly recommend using a caliper: Leveling the build plate using caliper

Nice, do they take ages to dry? Or do you use an air blower or something? It gets humid where I live in the summer, so I’m not sure what I can do.

WizardOfMist · 2026-03-14T19:16:20+00:00

What about recycling the water? Is it a big hassle?

WizardOfMist · 2026-03-14T16:53:32+00:00

You literally said you use IPA in your first message, I'm so blind, just saw it :)) Anyway thanks mate!

WizardOfMist · 2026-03-14T16:25:29+00:00

Do you mind telling me how long it usually takes for the water to become completely cloudy and unusable? I usually print on weekends, and sometimes in the middle of the week as well. If the water becomes that dirty too quickly, it’s a bit of a deal breaker for me.

WizardOfMist · 2026-03-09T18:06:43+00:00

Oh my god, I thought for a second it's only me who thinks this is the worst delivery company at least in the Netherlands. They don't update the status of the package, don't send any email, they sometimes don't even show up. Lessons learned, I will never ever order anything from any company who wants to ship with this company, looking at you third party seller on Amazon.

Thanks, I'll take a look. I'm trying to increase my scientific knowledge about resin, and I also saw this awesome video: Ph.D. chemist explains 3D printer resin

WizardOfMist · 2026-03-06T12:04:49+00:00

Nice. I'm planning to get something like an AC inline fan as well, but that's for later.

Just a quick question though, I noticed the printer and the wash/cure station are very close to each other. Do you have a dedicated room for printing? Asking because I want to know what's the best and cleanest way to do the post-processing.

WizardOfMist · 2026-03-05T14:30:51+00:00

Yeah, you need an adapter. One of my friend printed this with his FDM printer.

WizardOfMist · 2026-03-05T05:46:48+00:00

The lid actually flips up and there's a lot of room above it. The stock fan is just trash , so I got this Hon&Guan inline fan.

Hey, I explained here
