Very good deal on an SLA (resin) 3D printer.
Was originally around $350, and more recently around $230.

It has small printing volume but at this price it is a great opportunity to get into this hobby. The quality of printed miniatures (for example) is quite amazing (compared to more commonly available FDM printers).

From the listing (note: there are various listings at this special price):

  Got this a few weeks ago, first resin printer coming from a FDM printer. Pretty easy to start printing with, but the build plate is quite small

    Can you make something larger than the build plate by making it in several pieces, and then putting them together before final curing? Will the "stickiness" of the uncured parts effectively glue them together during curing?

      I've seen people recommend adding a bit of extra resin to the seams before curing as well to achieve this.

      Personally I cure all the pieces then stick them together with a bit of super glue. Then as teabark says, use a little extra resin or one of the putty type fillers to fill in any seams. Would probably work fine the other way around I just don't like leaving something sitting uncured for hours.

      The build plate on this is small but it's comparable in size to the buildplates of the most popular printers so you'll find most large models online will come already chopped up so they can be printed in sections.

  Paid about $210 a few months ago for one of these. $149 is a fantastic price- really wish I'd waited.

  This version has a few good advantages over the base model - dual Z rails make it a bit sturdier and the case reduces (not eliminates) the resin smell. It's also easy to replace the FEP with nFEP. Some of the Anycubic models you can't just change the FEP yourself which really bugs me.

  The case does make it more fiddly to get the build plate in and out but you get used to it.

  The one in the original link is out of stock but you can find plenty of others by searching. e.g.

    What's the advantage of an nFEP?

  I'm new to Resin printing 3D.
  In addition to the printer, do I also need the Cure and Plus machine, like this one:

  or is this optional?

    Though the cure and wash 2 machine is optional (you can manually wash with alcohol/metho and you can cure it in sunlight) I think it will make the process less messy and easier (can just set it to cure on a timer, in same unit). It’s a shame it costs slightly more than the printer.. lol… but it is handy as it can be used generally with prints from other printers.

    But also… look around ebay as some come up around the $164 mark (they are not all same price)

    So I bought this salad spinner from kmart and filled it with isopropyl alcohol and it works great.

    Curing is trickier, I've been using a UV nail light and it's ok, but takes far longer to cure using this method. There are some DIY options, getting UV light strips and lining a box etc. You could also leave it in the sun for a few hours.

    The Wash and Cure 2.0 is $164 and is easier to use than the above - but you don't necessarily NEED it.
