Jealous! I'm going to get an XL once they are regularly in stock.
Front plate is finished, however, the power switch dimensions provided by the manufacturer are apparently wrong. Not a big deal, I can make an adapter to fix it. Two small lines on the front, but still working on proof of concept so not too worried about it.
This piece was hard as fuck to get off the plate, I think I used too much hairspray. I've Got to get better at that, I fucked up some edges. Just need to print the feet and backplate with the modifications and I can transfer stuff over. Possibly next week depending on work.

Well ventilated space. Fumes are really only an issue with ABS and engineering materials like PEEK. Those can be kinda toxic. Then you're best bet is to print inside an enclosure with a carbon filter vent. Biggest issues with a fume extractor or a fan pointed nearby is inconsistent drafts of cold air across your print that can cause layer separation and warping. Really your goal for cooling environment is warm around the print with the printhead doing the immediate cooling of the melted plastic from a liquid state to a semi-elastic state and then the part cools as a whole creating strong bonds between layers.

Sigh. I’m running out of room.. not sure I can fit an enclosure. I’ll see what my options are

Ikea Lack enclosure is frequently brought up and will run roughly $50-70 depending on your local price of chloroplast/acrylic for walls. can then stack your dryer box on top and feed the filament down. I set one of those up awhile back for my monoprice printer and it did the job.
edit: If you're just pushing PLA it's not bad. PLA is basically corn anyway.

Been emailing back and forth with the owner and head designer of clear view.
im thinking of grabbing their enclosure and stacking my printdry pro on top. Gotta reply to owner to get some more specs but seems pretty solid. Love anti vibration feet as that was another complaint of mine since my printer sits on my primary computer desk.

Have a few pis sitting around. Think I’m gonna set one up today to print wirelessly to this bad boy.
Pretty stoked about this. My primary use for this will be robotics prototyping. Gonna print myself a little nanosaur. If any of you are interested in robotics check it out.

Yeah it is. Just placed my order for one. Only thing that’s kind of annoying is I’ll have to design my own grommet for their top piece to do reverse Bowden. Not the end of the world. Shipping economy from Cali so 5-8 days. Will post pics once I get it here and set up.

Got Mars 3 in a few days ago and test prints have come off great - went to print first mini and noticed at 57% done the thing has a break in it - any ideas? I did make it 25% larger than the file intended, and it came from a "support free" shop but curious how this happened - my print settings are stock and just using a basic plant based resin. Thanks!

Unfortunately I don't have any Resin based experience, but I'm sure google can give you some direction. The hardest part is finding the correct nomenclature for the issue you are facing, once you figure that out it's usually easy to find what the root causes are.

Might need to add supportsunder the stomach so it does not "tear" when printing it. I suck at supports so I'm not the best to ask about that. I print mostly presupported stuff or use Auto Support.
Edit: On another note. I used Phrozen Aqua 4k resin earlier and the dirty Isopropanol seperated from the resin (settled to the bottom) after a day in a window. So I could siphon the clear stuff into another bottle. Now I tried Phrozen Aqua Blue and the whole Isopropanol container turned into white slimy shit.
