3D printing figurines and collectables may seem like a far-fetched idea, but it is easier than you think. Here is our quick guide on how to get started

Resin Printing
Before you embark on your resin printing journey, there are a few things to consider. The first is space; while the printer has a much smaller footprint as compared to a regular printer, the actual workspace required would be a lot more. The resin used in printing is fairly toxic to the environment if not exposed to UV light; it also emits toxic fumes, so you should ideally set your printer in a well-ventilated area. You will also need a place to wash and cure your resin prints; typically, resin prints are washed in 99 per cent isopropyl alcohol, though you can also do this with a much lower percentage of alcohol, around 70 per cent. Curing can take place under direct sunlight or using UV light. If you want to simplify the process, I recommend getting a wash and cure kit; though it isn’t strictly needed, it will make life easier.
