My ‘ender 3 whatever’ is on the shelf in the corner of the gaming room. Yes, I do have a number of terrain pieces I printed out. But feeding, maintaining and upgrading it is not what I want to do with my hobby time. Not against 3D printing. I just don’t enjoy having the ‘tail wag the dog’ 😅 - ThreadSky

Yeah honestly, I basically only use it for printing fiddly unique stuff we can’t get like ordnance for bombers etc. I simply can’t be arsed with printing vast numbers of tanks due to the fiddlyness of it all. And doing literally everything right for the printer to come up blank is disheartening.

Temperature plays a massive role in resin printing. I’ve found that if the room is below 18*C you’re probably going to encounter issues, and definitely if it’s below 16*

Its in the boiler room which sits at a constant 20 for this reason. I reckon the problem is related to the screen which is super annoying as I just replaced that.

I replaced my screen without issue. As the Elegoo Mars 2 pro is now a legacy bit off kit & replacement parts will be nigh impossible to obtain, I recently purchased a Mars 3 as a replacement when the old beast finally fails.

Im really not technically minded at all, the screen physically snapping on me was frankly not in the book! :D got my guy coming round to sort it out on Sunday.

The Mars 3 is an excellent little machine

3D printing, filament printing with the Ender 3 in particular, becomes the hobby. Constantly maintaining the machine made me give up on filament printers.
My Elegoo Mars 2pro resin printer has been a pleasure to us once I set it up it has spat out hundreds of minis.
