Hey guys, after my last video got a lot of feedback regarding it;s length, I wanted to let you all know that this is another video that may not resonate with many of you who have followed for a while. I have about 4 videos aimed at absolute beginners coming out.
The point of this one is for new people to watch before they even consider looking for a resin printer. This is an overview of the whole process, with a few handy tips and is a general guide on how printing works.
The next video will be more about the post-processing stage.
I wanted to go back and do these beginner videos before I move on to more advanced stuff, which is coming soon, including a video on how to dial in your printer perfectly and what all the settings mean (which is a long/boring video) that many people may find benefit from.
Whilst this may not be the video for you. I'd still love it if you could watch it, to help boost it to more people out there, Even if you just click play and leave it on Mute.
I just wanted you to know what this was, before people start complaining it's a waste of time.

What i want for ALL future 3d printers is to have a heater by default, it's criminal to not have it in 2024 as it's such an essential part to ensure good printing.
It's not like it's difficult or expensive either; I doubt integrating a vat heater would add more than $10 in manufacturing cost per unit.
if you can't afford an external heater, how did you buy the printer. so no its a lame idea and just an added expense and something else to go wrong
@@Kiddeth That's an hilariously bad take and dumb reasoning, it's better to have an essential feature already builtin instead of having to spend extra time, troubleshooting and money to add it anyways to get an acceptable experience, especially when it doesn't add much cost to begin with.
@@Kiddeth 😂😂😂😂😂😂
When I watched to video, I realized that we only need one thing that is the heater. In fact, all the other parts are added for nothing, you dont even need the screen for resin printing. Just heater, heater and heater. Since GKTWO is the only model on the market with a heater, this makes it perfect :)
3d printing is such a fun hobby. This video will definetly help anyone who is just getting started
I'm so very thankful I found your content BEFORE I fully invested in resin printing! The process has been sooo easy compared to the horror stories I've heard others have gone through, and that's all thanks to you!
Trying to restart this hobby, and been watching your video for the last days (a lot)! Huge thanks for being so direct and transparent. Super well done! Especially the videos of screen resolution being irrelevant were a bit of an eye opener. Well done!
Your videos have been a huge help with helping me decide if I want to get into resin printing. I already have a FDM printer, but it wasn't printing at the quality I wanted for miniatures. I ended up buying the GKTWO set as my first one today based on yours and some of the other reviewers! It's great content and really helps to inform us newbies trying to get into the space so thanks a lot!
Knowing more about resin printing would have helped me substantially. I came from FDM printing terrain. I bought my first resin printer without realizing how frustrating and expensive it could be. I literally gave up after my first attempt and returned my printer. About two months ago, I bought a GKTwo and my experience has been significantly better.
I absolutely couldn't have done this without your awesome guidance, thank you for being so generous with your time and patient with my stupid questions.
... but you're absolutely wrong about that HeroQuest rule ;)
Thanks for shedding light on resin 3D printing! As someone familiar with FDM, this is my first dive into resin printing. Your video provides invaluable insights for better understanding this world. 🙌
As someone who uses FDM almost daily now, I have always wanted to get into resin just for the quality you can get in prints both for busts and minis. This video has been super informative.
I’m extremely grateful that I discovered your content prior to fully diving into resin printing! The procedure has been incredibly straightforward, unlike the daunting experiences others have shared. All credit goes to you!
Going to make my first purchase, one of the Phrozen Sonics mini or mighty idk yet.
I recently started 3d printing and I'm really into warhammer so your videos are just perfect to learn everything there is to know about 3d printing, thank you !
From the rule book “the special treasure is discovered only once by the first hero who searches the room for treasure, even if other heroes later search that same room”. No mention of having to be adjacent to treasure in any of the rules on searching for treasure. It specifically states “as a hero, you must first verbally declare your search. Do so by saying I am searching for treasure. Searching means you are looking around, opening things, searching for interesting objects and gold coins, regardless of what square you are on in the room. Do not move your hero figure when you search”. Seems pretty clear to me, you were right, he was wrong 😂
So nice to have a miniatures printing channel. Honest fair and open. Thanks!
I work with 3D printers at work, but don't own a resin printer myself, I do recommend this hobby to anybody who has time and a safe space for resin. A resin printer at home would be great though!
One of the best sources for honest info. Keep up the amazing job!
Really great seeing your knowledge and bluntness 😉 grow since the beginning. Glad I came across you early on to see this. THANKS!
Thanks for the great content. I've been putting off 3D printing for a while now, until I stumbled upon your channel... you've made the whole process easy to understand and something I now feel confident to try. Your mix of reviews and "how to" videos are exactly what I needed. Cheers!!
I do love 3d printing, I had a Prusa mini and a Anycubic mono X both destroyed in a fire in my basement 😢 ( caused by a washing machine not them). One day I would like to purchase a Gktwo and a P1S, but those 2 will always remain in my memory and my heart ❤️
It was your channel that got me interested in printing in the first place. Thanks for your time and effort.
I have to say I was interested in resin printing for a few years now, but didn't dive in till I found your channel. Your videos gave me the confidence to give it a go and have loved every moment of it. I'm now looking at getting a second printer. Thank You!
listened to this video while I was cleaning and curing my last 3d print. I love to freshen up my knowledge on the hobby and especially the safety issues. Gladly am still doing everything right up to now ^^
Alot of great tips for someone who have researched the trials of a 3d resin printer. I will come back too this video when I get my first printer
Love all of your videos. Your videos got me into 3D printing and I can't get enough of it. A GKTWO would be an amazing addition to my 3D printing set up. Thank you FauxHammer
Even for those of us that have been at it for a year or 2 this was still a great refresher
Great video, nice to see you getting back to basics. I watch a lot of your early videos when I was getting ready to buy my first resin printer last year.
Thanks for another great video Russ! You have the best educational channel on 3d resin printing, saved me a ton of time and money... and frustration!!
Since I've been researching resin 3d printing myself for the last few weeks, this video is just what I need! Thanks!
Been 3d printing two weeks and I'm just finding all the best TH-camrs. I'm only doing fdm for now but do plan to add resin eventually. But I've watched a bunch of your videos and especially love you not blowing smoke about the differences between resolution and similar.
I'm wondering, what if the video doesn't hit 50k views? I hope it does though, it deserves the views by new people who are open for a new hobby
Just what I needed, been FDM printing since Christmas but have gone from Cosplay helmets to sculptures/miniatures and have now started diving down the Resin rabbit hole and it's a little scary!
I only have FDM printed so far, but looking into resin printing I've always found your video's and reviews informative and entertaining. This beginner / series guide is definitely helpful for deciding whether to finally making the jump into resin printing.
I picked up the Geeetech ALKAID about 6 months ago and have been happily printing little things with that, but seeing all the fine detailed larger models available I've been eyeing up a larger printer, I've watched a lot of review videos from different places on many of the available options and it was your video on the GKtwo and the Printer of the year 2023 that set me on course to get one, now it's just about saving up and making more room in my work sapce!
It was great to see you & MidWinter do a collaboration. Love both of y’all’s work.
Thank you. You have made the dive into resin 3d printing less stressful compared to jumping in blind. Your videos are extremely enlightening
To answer your hq question, the first hero to search the room gets the special treasure. When searching for treasure it says in the current rules that its assumed the hero searches the whole room. Sometimes the special rules for a room/treasure even states the first hero. Also of note is that in the original release of the game different regions had different rules and in some regions the rules were more difficult.
I’m looking to get into 3D printing as a hobby and finally decided that a resin printer checks a lot of boxes for me, but the biggest issue I have is that I live in an area that has very cold winters. I’m glad I saw your video on the GKTWO because a heated reservoir is exactly what I need for the area I live!
Been doing a lot of research on 3d printing so i can widen my hobbying and thanks to you FauxHammer i have had many of my early worries dismissed on what printer would be right for my budget, keep doing the good work mate.
getting ready to start printing myself your videos have been astronomically helpful for getting me ready to take this leap. thank you and keep up the great work
Thank you for these. Not only are your videos are my goto when I want unbiased opinions and reviews. They are always helpful.
Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to part 2. This channel is the man reason I have gotten into resin printing.
I've been using FDM printers since before the Ender 3 was first released but have never taken the plunge into resin printing. It's nice to see honest videos about what the pitfalls and issues are. Keep up the great work.
I've had my resin printer for about 6 months now, so I have a pretty good grasp on the basics, but this video is invaluable for anyone who is brand new. I'm very much looking forward to part 2, as well as any videos about slicer settings.
After finding out about 3d printing, trying it on a cheap fdm, failing, then finding out about resin and not wanting to fail again, I started watching many many vids. I finally found a trustworthy voice of guidance. If I don’t win, I’ll probably save up and buy one anyway. Thanks for your honest reviews.
Just purchased the Saturn 3 that should be here tomorrow, but that heated printbed sounds really nice so I can print in my garage more easily!
Thanks for the videos! As a beginner your content has been extremely helpful, especially the printer reviews and beginner content like this. I appreciate your work!
Very informative, I had already done a lot of reading up on resin printing, as I'm currently looking to move into resin printing, have been printing on FDM printers for many years now, and with the GKTWO it seems there finally is a resin printer that suits me.
That heater is such a game changer! Printer on the balcony here we go!
Literally just watched this after I setup my new GKTwo, was invaluable, thanks for the run down of the fundamentals
I love the sharpness of resin printing seems like a lot of fun too
I have quite a few friends who I have sent your videos to to help them get started with resin printing ans understand how much of an art it is to prepare, support, and slice a file for a resin printer. That sequence of events is just as important as the model itself, if not more important
Been following the channel since before you started covering 3D printers! Congratulations on the growth!!
Heated vat to 30c/86F is just so crucial to me for getting consistent prints, with high accuracy. Plus it's so much easier to work with warm resin. Heated Vats and Self Leveling beds really should be on every resin printer.
You’re absolutely correct, the treasure etc… only goes to the character that found it.
My GKTwo is already on the way, this couldn't have been released at a better time :)
Great job on all of your 3d printing videos. It has really helped me in choosing a printer, resins etc
The heater looks like such a great quality of life upgrade, wish all printers had it
Awesome, thanks for the video fauxhammer ❤
Awesome vid. Been watching your videos to learn more into resin printing. Just got started on FDM recently. I really find this info usefull, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the beginner breakdown. Can't wait to eventually get my own resin 3d printer. I have been watching your channel a lot as research into what the best is for me.
Since I discovered your channel, I do not miss any of your videos. Uniform GK two was a blast when you first reviewed it
I think I have watched the best of 2023 lineup video about 10 times still deciding on a purchase, to the point the person sitting nest to me at work actually commented asking if thats the same video I watched before lol. Thanks for everything. Keep up the great content.
Exactly what I was looking for. Great video as always. The day a “safe” resin comes out that I can use around the house is the day I go all in
You might be waiting a very long time. Even if you were able to get rid of all the solvents from photopolymer resin, there's some components native to the products themselves that you won't be able to do without. I've tried a number of plant-based resins recently (and have formulated my own from scratch), but the thinning agents are far and away the least desirable but most important parts of the resins, aside from the initiators themselves. The plant-based ones also leave a really messy skin Everywhere in the vat, on top of the remaining resin and on the printer plate that is a royal pain to clean afterwards.
I've been umming and arring about getting into 3D printing the last few weeks and your videos have definitely steered me in a direction which is making it look more likely I will be confident in starting!
That printer looks awesome.It's true temperature is important. On groups, people tend to often forget the temp and level their plate to no end. I really enjoy your channel. The tests are not biased.
Your content covering the good and bad parts of the printer was what sold me.
Thank you
If I remember correctly, my friends and I had to kill all the enemies in a room to search it. We could all search it, but the first one would get the special item if there was one. Of course... the argument of ... "that's the way it's played in my house" always applies.
Even if they are videos aimed at beginners, it's always good to review well explained concepts. Thanks for your work.
Even to someone who is already familiar to printing, I found it quite helpful to relearn things. Also there's settings that I avoid changing because I don't really understand the implications of changing them - so I look forward to the next video explaining them.
Love your printer reviews!!! They are honest and informative!
I have a friend in Discord who I just sent my old Anycubic Photon that had been collecting dust since it got replaced with an Elegoo Saturn. He's new to resin printing so this video will definitely help him!
I've been running the GKTwo ever since you made the first video on it! Thank you for keeping up with the community and always being honest with us! Also, I hope your resin comes to the states one day!
I'm currently on my third printer. Started with the Anycubic Mono X, then the Saturn 2 8k, and now the Saturn 3 Ultra. I also started with an Ender 3 , and now (after 3 years of tinkering, modding, rinsing and repeating) I'm running the X1C from Bambu labs. Your most valuable video to me was the comparison between ACF and FEP/NFEP. It convinced me to put an NFEP Saturn 2 vat on my Saturn 3 to preserve the finer details on my minis (especially teeth or fingers/claws)
Decided to look into resin printing and one of your videos on the GK TWO came up. Really makes it seem like an approachable way to print models.
Always enjoy FauxHammer's videos. Keep 'em coming.
Really informative! I'm saving this to rewatch later to really take it all in
Love your channel Ross and thanks for helping out Guy!
I just conviced my wife, that we really need a 3d resin printer in my...I mean in our lives. Now I need to learn how to use it, because I really want to avoid "I told you its nonsense" situation :D
Really appreciate your videos - this is another great one
I just wanted to say thank you for all your tests - I have been looking for ideas what I actually need in a resin printer before buying one. This was a very informative, looking forward to the second half.
The chamber heater is key. Summer, winter, and everything in between, 28⁰C and no failed prints (20kg later).
Hero Quest... When my brother and I were kids, we had a gentlemen's agreement that the person who searches gets the treasure. 30 years later that agreement still stands.
Thanks for all the info you give.
That heated resin vat is such a blessing. Nice to see all this info available to curious hobbyists starting out.
Great video with lots of great info. I think a big help for people who don't like "long videos" is to have time stamps that help impatient people move on to the info they actually need or want.
i'm learning 3d modeling then i thought maybe i print my 3d models so i can across your channel and your channel and few other channels really help me Thanks
I'm currently saving to get a resin print. So much info on all the different print it's easy to get overwhelmed but your videos have been a great resource.
Recently had to quit my job for medical reasons after over a decade. Passionless experience. Trying to start over with something that I can truly sink my teeth into and be happy with. Hobby and gaming 3d printing is path I have chosen. Thank you for your educational videos, they have helped immensely in getting through the learning pangs.
Thanks for all the reviews and research, very helpful!
I wish something this concise and well put together had existed when I first turned to TH-cam for 3D printing info.
Very informative Video, as always... Thanks You!
Thanks for all the great resin content. Currently using an ender 3 but really want to upgrade to a resin printer. This process still feels like magic to me just watching the prints rise from the liquid. Just wild.
that man had exactly the same journey as me with the Anycubic, thanks to all the videos you make I am now thinking to give resin another try with the GK-TWO.
Thanks for the tutorial vids :) ❤
Thank you for the visual demonstration of the resin printing process. This will help me explain it to friends/family.
Great video. Super insightful
A couple of the most important points you reference that are often overlooked are temperature, the number of debates I have had with people on this amazes me considering it is written on the bottle usually, and flex in the PTFE sheet being variable. To add to this it can also significantly vary and impact prints depending on location on the build plate, for example lift speed with low flex in the extreme corners may fail compared to success in the middle.
Been wanting to get back into the hobby because of the gk2. So im glad you our running through the basics while giving people the chance to get such a great machine.
That's going to be a real useful couple of videos!
Been learning 3d printing over the last month or so. Started off with FDM and I would love to learn resin as well. Your vids are a huge help and inspiration. The Uniformation GK2 is the printer I was leaning towards since your vid 9 months back. Thanks for another great vid!
The video I needed 5 months ago. Happy to have it though, nice to go over basic things to fill in gaps in my knowledge.
Great video, currently looking to upgrade my printers and you have been so much help :)
Waiting for part 2! Very informative and well done :)
I never heard of the GKtwo until your videos. Really love this printer. Great videos.
This was incredibly helpful already even in one part. I've been hemorrhaging money on Warhammer and started looking into 3d printing for terrain. I was about to fall off the deep end on this stuff and your video let me slow down and learn before making a decision. I'm looking forward to future videos!
