I often hear the same statement: ‘I’m interested in resin printing, but I’m not sure of all the steps and whether it’s for me’. This video aims to respond to that situation. There are multiple ways to approach resin printing, but hopefully my methodology provides some food for thought for others setting up.

Thanks to my patrons for sharing their tips and workflow in the preparation for this video.

In regards to safety, everyone will ultimately make their own choice on the measures they adopt. My advice would be to treat resin with tremendous respect and assume the worst case scenario. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.
