Resin printer setup
I get asked from time to time what I use for 3D resin printing. While I am still getting to grips with all the ins and outs, I have had some good results.

New Printer, Who Dis?
I bought myself an older CR-10 MAX printer to do some larger prints from ebay. It came with one known fault - an issue with the BL Touch. Spending £150 on a printer with £50 P&P - what could go wrong?
Overture PLA
After a bit of a disaster with the Glow in the dark filament, I moved to a marble based filament by Overture. As I had just bought 2KG of this filament (it was cheap on Amazon) and then another 2 of matt white PLA (at about £8 per roll), I really wanted a nice easy filamant to work with.
Glow in the dark filament
A couple of years ago I bought a roll of glow in the dark filament from the company Amolen. As I have only 1 roll, I have no idea if my experiences are indicative of the filament in general, or just a one off.
Rainbow filament
While getting back in to 3D printing, I broke out one of the oldest filaments I have, a rainbow filament. I bought the filament over a year or 3 ago to mix things up a bit. I encountered some issues, some of which you may face yourself.
My Ender 5
I have been 3D printing since COVID. Like many others, I decided I needed a new hobby to spend my time at home on. Shame it was still tied to computers, but it was sufficiently different to distract me. The printer I chose was an Ender 5 pro.
Returning to FDM printing
This week I've returned to printing with Plastic using my Ender 5.
