Hello 3dpronting!

I am looking to get a resin printer as I have been reading they are better for smaller high detail prints. I am mainly looking to print miniatures for tabletop gaming.

I have been eyeing the Elegoo Mars 3 pro and the corresponding washing/curing station(Elegoo mercury plus 2 in 1).

Is this a good starting point? Am I biting off too much for a beginner?

Looks like a nice one to me. Watch out for toxicity with resins and solvents, you need to set these up in well ventilated areas.

Yeah I was planning on doing it in my garage with the door open for now until winter comes. Keeps the fumes out of the house which is nice.
