Getting started with resin 3D printing doesn’t have to be complicated—and in this episode, we walk you through the full workflow from idea to print.
In Episode 3 of our Beginner Series, we cover:
• Where to find high-quality 3D models (including pre-supported files)
• File formats you actually need to know
• How to create your own models using beginner-friendly CAD tools
• How to prepare your file in a slicer for resin printing
• Key slicer settings that matter (orientation, hollowing, supports, venting)
• Exporting your file and sending it to your printer
We focus on the simplest path to success—using default settings where possible—so you can get printing quickly and confidently.
