Notes:

Setting up the resin printer:

- Good ventilation, use nitrile gloves, use a 3m mask to avoid inhaling fumes
- Resin tank and build plate can touch resin, everything else shouldn't
- Soap and water wont remove it, you need isopropyl alcohol.

Chitubox:

- some miniatures can be printed upright with minimal interference [don't rely on this though, its always best to print at an angle] , the auto support tool is pretty useful.

Cleaning models:

- Fill cleaning machine with isopropyl alcohol.

- Small models can be washed in a two cycle process, with the initial stage with a duration of  5 minutes, dunk it in another vat of isopropyl alcohol, then back into the main cleaning device for another 5 minutes.

Removing models:

-use a scraper to remove your models from the build plate.

- gently remove supports while wearing gloves, for fragile elements, use pliers to remove supports

- cure in UV light for 2 minutes [for small miniatures], you can do this before removing supports so that you can remove the supports without having to wear gloves.

- if you have anything that needs gluing on your models, use superglue as no other kind of glue will work.
