First printer! - Helotech - 01-13-2021
Just received my Mars 2 Pro! I have the cleaning / curing station incoming as well.
First printer so I am VERY new to all this and very excited.
I will be using this mostly for printing parts for my plastic model kits.
I can order Elegoo resin through Amazon, but none of the Canadian stores I can order stuff through seem to carry Elegoo resin.
I have a few questions:
Best place to start reading info?
Can you use any resin with it?
I have gone down the rabbit hole looking at files to download.
Is there a specific file format I should look for?
Can you scale pieces up or down as required to achieve the proper size?
Any sites which are better than others?
Any sites to stay away from?
Some 3D files look like they are faceted (slab sided?). Do they print smooth and only look faceted because of the software imaging?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Okay....
How about an easy question. To reduce fumes I would like to set up the printer in the garage on my workbench. It is about 10 degrees Celsius in there right now.
Is this an issue for printing?
