>>9332231Here‘s what I have:
Elegoo Mars 2 resin printer
Cheap plastic tablecloths/covers for the table you plan to use
Nitrile gloves (medium duty)
99% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to clean the prints (I actually use 90% since Walgreens doesn't carry 99%, and it's fine. Others get away with 70% plus a longer cleaning time.)
Safety glasses
N95 masks or a respirator with filters
Lots of paper towels
Microfiber cloths to cut up and clean the vat with if you have a failed print
Tin foil roasting trays or cafeteria trays (1 wide for printer to sit in and catch any spills, 2 deep ones for used tools/as a workspace for removing print supports)
2 pickle jar containers with inner basket to clean and agitate print in IPA
2 clear tupperware tubs, 1 for cleaning, 1 for curing (if planning to cure outside)
Paint strainers/filters (the Mars 2 came with these)
Metal scraper to remove prints from printing bed and flush cutters/clippers to remove supports (the Mars 2 came with both of these)
Silicone spatula to clean vat
Old toothbrush for cleaning prints
Big funnel for getting resin back into bottle and IPA back into bottles
A bottle of 3D printing "photopolymer" resin, obviously (I use Elegoo ABS-like gray)
Because I live in a sunny place and cure my prints outside in the sun I didn't opt to buy cheap UV lamps or a nail drying station, but for folks in the UK or other cloudy locales it might make sense to get one of those as well.
I should note the need for a few of the above items can be obviated if you buy one of the branded wash and cure stations put out by the 3D printer manufacturers themselves. I opted to save the cash and do it myself, and my setup including $200 printer was about $300 all told.
