Mouse I printed on my Photon mono 4K. SLA is a learning curve for sure! I had LOTS of failures trying to print this.

What can I say, I like to live on the edge! I wet sanded it after it was fully cured if that makes you feel any better. In all seriousness, I respect your comment in terms safety information. I just feel like being near someone using household cleaner or some second hand smoke would be worse for your health than this mouse. The liquid resin smells horrendous, once cured it does not smell or feel sticky or anything like that.

Hear it from me, uv resin is nasty stuff in liquid form.

It’s the first thing I tell people who ask me about getting into SLA printing. SLA may not be for you if you are not ok with wearing PPE and printing in a garage or well ventilated space. It’s alright when the printer is sealed and printing, but prep and clean up is a bitch.

Yeah I need to get my Saturn 2 up and running again. Just haven’t had time. I keep it in the garage but there isn’t any ventilation in there. I ordered the new stand alone Elegoo carbon filter but it won’t arrive until august. Been considering cutting a hole in a wall and adding active ventilation.
