3D printing

[Rich H]

My experience it's pot luck
Currently I'm liking Anycubic Black and it's relatively smell free over 3 bottles.

Batches of anycubic trasnparent one of them made my eyes sting after a very short time the next didn't smell at all. 

Elegoo trasnparent smelt unpleasant too but not as bad as the anycubic.

Thanks,

 So basically much like many chemical things, depends on the day the batch and the mix/er?

Thats fair, I mainly have to ensure about placement, ventilation etc, when in use then.

Its headed for me shed when active if I take the leap next month.

Mine is in the attached garage and is OK

So thinking about a resin printer for x man then!

well, I did get a cheapy Chinese CTC thing several years ago to mess with (really cheap), as a xmas gift to me.. but although modified to a semi-reliable producer of stuff - It aint' brilliant

Seeing your thread made me think, resurrection time, and rather than throw more money at that, was thinking to go the whole hog, wish meself a happy birthday, and get something better.

and my better half is happy as I that's what she is getting me.

So this coming month my overtime mostly goes to..

That.

hopefully it will work

Tactalvanic let us take part in your journey to a new 3d printer!

Yeah was doing the sums and the numbers and. well.

tracking parcels, will let you know. Hopefully all will go well with it actually all arriving at least

Went with the simple option. Do it.

was thinking prusa, but then resin which is not a prusa MK3 of course and pricey and, but then lots of videos and reading during nightshift....

and

went with the Anycubic Photon.

and

went with the Anycubic Chiron.

Not purrfect from my research but certainly good enough, and the Chiron is modifiable as main issues are resolvable over time etc, but not stopping it working, so. yeah.

its for me bloody birthday. I don't ask for much. and what I do is usually in a very small scale.. So i will have a bit of both.
 
and as mentioned Wife is buying it for my birthday with my money so she does not really mind.

um.. yeah. going to be interesting explaining that. but its still cheaper than the prusa and in the shed nobody can hear me scream, from the house. Normally, at least.

Will open a separate post later once something starts happening
