Supplies to get

In addition to the things noted in the thread above, here are a few other items that should help.

FEP film (goes on the tray)

USB extension cable to you can plug the USB "in the front" (seems to be a common complaint):

Strainer cones for pouring extra polymer back in the bottle:

Hello stranger!   Wink

Regarding the FEP:  Elegoo will send you a free set if you become a Facebook follower.  Since I’m not on Facebook I asked if I could follow on Twitter instead and they said Sure.  And sent me the link for the free FEP.

Also re: strainer cones—

I found that I was likely going to quickly run out of those so I just doubled up a couple layers of tulle ribbon from the craft store and lined a plastic funnel with it.  Worked great to strain the resin.

I've got exactly these as well, they are great for some resins but the Elegoo white is too "thick", it clogs the filter immediately and nothing flows through. Had to get paper paint filters with 190 micrometers mesh for this resin.

One thing I'd seriously consider is, spare LCD display.

Even in normal use, they break over time. And if you accidentally leave a piece of previous print floating in resin vat, build platform will crush that against the display.

So your display eventually breaks. Are you ok with waiting for one to be shipped & delivered?

More importantly, are you ok waiting for them to be back in stock on amazon? (They've been unavailable now and then in the past)

OR do you spend 20 euros on a spare one, and be able to continue printing same day the display breaks?

Regarding availability, there are lots of "probably compatible" displays on amazon. BUT many of them are actually more expensive than the ones Elegoo sells.



Oh, perhaps some extra spatulas too. Managed to break mine trying to remove print that was very much stuck.

One thing that can be useful for part curing, especially if using only directional light (sun): Solar powered rotary base.

That will make your models spin slowly, and makes sure, all sides get light more evenly. You might still want to rotate your parts on the platform a few times.

And since it's solar powered, it works with UV lights too!
