5 stars because this product does exactly what is supposed to do. No bugs or glitches, and the menu system is pretty easy.I do want beginners to know (as I found out) that 3D resin printing is not as simple as loading a file, pouring in some resin, and hitting print. Read some blogs, watch videos, or whatever works for you, but don't go in blind with just the manual.Very likely you'll find that recommended exposure times for your resin are different on the bottle, on the product page, and in the manufacturer's spreadsheet. Cleanup after printing is not just a quick wash in any old alcohol. Spring for the 99% stuff (at least 91%), and consider using an old toothbrush to do a better job than the Mercury alone. Nothing wrong with the Mercury, but some gentle scrubbing helps.Keep your resin clean! Any little blobs from one job can totally ruin the next one, so strain your resin if it's not perfect.Watch for brittleness. Too long in the alcohol or too much UV (at print time or in curing afterwards) and your parts will break easily.Don't expect the little masks they supply to stop the resin fumes. If you want to be careful, get a serious mask that seals around your face. Or better, set up positive ventilation where you breath fresh air and the fumes go out a window. Similar story on gloves. This stuff doesn't hurt most people at first, but apparently many become sensitive over time. Use a fresh pair of thin gloves every time, or get something thicker you can re-use with less waste.The tips could go on. That's why you need to learn much more that I'm saying here. It's worth it, though. Once you get this right you can make high-quality parts with confidence.Great product for the price. Prints are decent, user interface is simple to use. Packaging is top notch.
