3D Mini Printing Process Walkthrough (Elegoo Mars 3 + Chitubox)

A while ago, I made this 3D Printing Process walkthrough video, which I thought I would share to herald the renaissance of this blog after a few years lying fallow.

Note: if all goes according to plan this should be the first post to this here blog that finds its way to The Gaming Tavern, for which I am indebted to Tom, the Guvnor.

I made the video with more than a little assistance from my daughter Alice, on filming, editing and production.  My purpose was twofold:

1. As a helpful guide to others starting out on 3D printing
2. So that friends thinking I'm now a source of endless cheap minis are aware of the overheads

In it, I talk through setting up a print job on the Elegoo Mars using Chitubox slicing software, highlighting some of the pitfalls to watch out for and how to avoid failing a save against them.

Made in my basement Underdark Man-Cave which I should point out is much less tidy than the areas I share with the rest of my family up in the sunlit realms!  What can I say - it's functional.  

Here is the link to the video in case the embedded video doesn't come through on RSS feeds:
