I am now. You can't set my limits!
Your limits are 250 x 210 x 210 mm, see I just did it!
Don't be like me and instead decide that resin is the way to go for your first 3D printer because you have cats and the enclosed FDM options are more expensive basically just for the box.
Resin is great if you like inhaling toxic fumes (I print with PLA don't @ me about ABS lol)
That's not a huge issue as long as you follow the necessary safety stuff. Quality of the resin prints is extremely high at pretty low cost compared to the FDM printers I've seen. Getting near similar quality as resin seems to require much more expensive printers.
Of course you can deal with it, but it's a hazard I don't personally want in my home where I live.
Eh, depends on where you're at and what your place is like. I have a spare room that isn't actively used daily by anyone, so with my Elegoo Mars 4 it's only an issue when removing the finished piece and post-processing/cleaning the machine.
If it more effort? Of course. Does it actually mean much more work? Not really, just a bit more planning. It's only the liquid resin that's a fume issue. Even then, there's a powered fan/carbon filter that removes the vast majority from the air before it can even leave the machine. Then the piece cleaning just takes a few minutes in a sonic bath, and draining unused resin filtered back into the sealed bottle. After that there's no fume issue for any other post-processing like UV Curing that the piece needs.
Sure, if you can get adherence and leveling just right and buy all the tools and supplies needed for post processing after investing in the resin itself, which as an added bonus will etch any plastic on the machine it comes in contact with cause for some reason chemical resistance isn't something we thought of when we were picking out materials to make a resin printer with.
I couldn't hack it. This was my first 3d printer as well and I gave up on 3d printing as a whole a long time ago cause I couldn't learn CAD. Even if I did manage to do that, I'd probably have spent more time finagling with the machine itself than I would enjoying my prints. Nothing ever stayed fixed on that thing.
Probably my fault for going cheap (anycubic photon mono on sale for $100) and not doing my research, but it was firstly an experiment to see if 3d printing was even something I would follow through with long term.
Well DreamButt, your limit is apparently a disappointing butt.
