I recently bought a resin 3D printer and I've learned a lot in getting it set up and printing figures, so I wanted to share what I learned in a 3D printing guide for wargamers:

Here's some of my recent prints:

Super great tutorial!! s/b mandatory reading for those looking to jump in or sitting with their new printer.
One aspect to test is the water cure. Some resins do NOT like water, like the Siraya Tech Simple series, as even when cured the model will start to 'melt' if exposed to excessive moisture.
Great job!!!

Good looking tutorial!
I also really want to know where you got the stl for those not-2ndEd Cadians and not-SM FB. Especially if they have modular options for kitting out what you need.

Good going on getting the type of 3D printing into the title. Lots of people lump FDM and resin in together, and complain about the difference.

Nice, thanks for that!
Just started with an FDM printer, but I am sure a resin printer will be in my future at some point
