I was planning to set it up in my garage, but are there temperature limits for a resin printer? Still researching.
The resin will get more viscous in colder temps so you really don't want to print lower than say 70F. Learn how to properly support resin prints from online tutorials and just throw the sliced objects onto a flash drive (or sdcard since I think that ones takes that instead of a flash drive) and print from the drive. Did you get this one when it was on sale? https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=35435 The best software now for resin printing is Chitubox and I am sure people use it for that printer. Microcenter stocks some good resin at really good prices, if you have one near the best deals are in the store only but they do ship some stuff. There is a sub here for 3d printing: https://poal.co/s/3dprinting/ I have a Creality LD-002R and used up about half a jar of clear resin. The Eiffel Tower and the rook with the staircase inside are two cool prints that show off what a resin printer can do. If you are going to print miniatures that you will paint later a boring grey resin is the best color to use.
I’ll clear off a section of my ham radio station to set it up. But, I really didn’t want to print inside my house. It is 60 degrees outside my house and it’s going to get down to 42 Fahrenheit tonight. I really don’t want to give up desk space to a printer. I’m trying to make contacts.
Depending on the resin you use the fumes are pretty nasty. You really need to wear gloves and not get the resin on your skin and inhaling the fumes is pretty bad for you and I am far from a safety NAZI but a lot of the resins are foul. If I was going to print in the house I'd make sure to use the water washable resin or maybe the stuff they call "bioresin" which is actually a PLA blend.
I have mine in my shop but it's not that cold in the South and it's a large area so the fumes aren't an issue there.
