Quoted from Fezmid:

As someone who has never used a 3d printer before, what resources should I look at to help pick a printer and learn the process? I'm not sure if I want to get into it or not as it looks like it's a lot of work, but I've thought about it for a good decade and things have to be easier now than they were back then, right?

While not as cheap as the post above, you can also consider going the DLP route. UV Resin printing gives you way better resolution and no need for finishing steps like sanding or acetone vapor treatments. Downside is it's more expensive to get the printer and print size is smaller although the Kelant s400/s500 print a decent size.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

This info I fairly well understood - messy, smelly, et al. How long does the curing process take? I agree it would be a good secondary printer.

printing time is based on height of the object - how many layers. Final curing under UV is minutes really. The real advantage is how fine the details can be. The thin “wires” on the gun are about the size of a human hair.

There are different types of resin for different hardness. Depends on what's being used.

The print size on the KElant is pretty good (7.55" (L) x 4.72" (W) x 7.87" (H)). I have both the Kelant and Photon.
