The Sinclair QL Forum

Got this before Christmas, from someone locally who was moving house and getting out of 3D Printing, not very expensive:

Elegoo Mars 3 Pro Resin Printer:
Elegoo Mercury Plus V2.0, wash, cure station

Nice ....

And now a lot of time working in CAD software?

I do have a resin printer, but use it as sparingly as I can, only if I really, really need the higher print resolution, so only once or twice a year.

Simply, because resin printing tends to be an utter mess.

Handling sticky, poisonous fluids, washing with yet another poisonous fluid (which is, for added thrill, also highly inflammable and explosive) and curing with UV light, well, that's just not my type of thing. Once you're done, disposing of the contaminated fluids is also added chore - you can't simply pour it down the sink.

There are water-washable resins, but the results leave a bit to be desired compared to the "normal" stuff.

Print results of resin printers are excellent, but handling that stuff is just, as I said, a complete mess.

If you need functional parts where you can live with somewhat lesser surface quality and detail, FDM is, in my opinion, the better choice.

Recently I could buy a extra QL
It had the waranty sticker still on the back.
So nice origional.
and it even worked!!

Only the keyboard sheet had to be replaced..
Thanks POPOPO!!!!!

Very nice print.

I always think it's really nice when someone puts the original copyright on it. Great!

Hey Ralf

I am sorry but for now I like to keep it.
