Why start with failing?
For a lot of people their first jump into miniature printing turns out to be a giant disaster. Constant print failures or a cracked screen are all too common for beginner’s.
There is no reason it should be that way. Why make the mistakes yourself, when you can simply learn from my and others trials and errors?
I want to make printing miniatures fun, easy and accessible for everyone.

I am here to help you
I believe that everyone should experience the joy of miniature printing without the stress and mess. Whether you're a seasoned hobbyist or just starting your printing journey, my mission is to make printing miniatures fun, easy, and accessible for you.
I have comprehensive guides, engaging content, and courses designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to print the models of your dreams.
Hey! I’m Peter and this my resin 3D printing course
But who am I?
First off I am miniature hobbyist. This is my perspective on everything about 3D printing. If things are not usable for my games or for painting, I have no interest.
Secondly I am a content creator. I have spent 5 years now creating written content, helping people get started in various miniature games. I simply love helping people in this way.
Third: I love teaching and learning. I spend 6 years of my life studying philosophy and then another 8 years working at the university making educations and teaching better!
What you will find in this course is my synthesis of the best information out there about printing miniatures.
I cannot get enough of miniatures. Back in 2020 I jumped hard on the resin printing band wagon and have not looked back.
When I first started 3D printing miniatures I found it extremely frustrating. The space was in it’s infancy and information was sparse. When it works, resin 3D printing is easy. When it does not work, it is the worst!
I have helped a ton of people get started with their miniature printing journey. And while there is a lot of good information out there these days, there is also a lot of bad stuff. People get confused and get misleading answers all the time.
I thought this could be done better. I decided to make it my mission to make 3D printing miniatures more enjoyable and accesible for everyone.
There is no reason 3D printing should take at ton of time. The reason you are here is to get excuting new stuff your existing hobby!
You should be printing for your hobby, not make printing your new hobby.
I am not an engineer. I am not a tinkerer. I am not a 3D printing expert.
I am just here to get amazing prints. This means I am constantly looking for shortcuts and ways to get the end product better.
And I want to be your teacher, so you can learn what I found out.

Resins I really like
Picking a resin is crucial to get great results when printing. For miniatures I really like resins that are durable, slightly flexible and that print details well.
Wargamer is the best water-washable resin we have tried. It washes easy with water, it is slightly bendy and though for a water-wash resin.
It has a slightly glossy look that makes details easy to so once the grey resin has cured
TGM-7 is in many ways magic in a bottle. It is strong as all hell and prints so crisp. But magic in a bottle will cost you a lot of money…
This is the resin companies use if they want to showcase the printing files they make. It is that good!
Siraya Tech make several amazing resins and the Fast ABS-like is great for miniatures.
It could be cheaper and it could be more durable, but as an out of the bottle experience I can definitely recommend it as a balanced approach.

Resin printers I really like
Some printers will be a bit easier to handle, others will have a bit more detail. Some even have smart solutions that do not suck.
While picking the perfect resin printer can seem daunting, the decision is really not that important. Most printers are great.
It is fair to say that Elegoo has won this season of “best printer” and the Saturn 4 Ultra is a great machine. It prints fast, has a ton of ease of use features and is a genuine jump forward from last generation.
We are a bit nervous about the longevity of the first generation of printers with the tilting VAT, but only time will tell.
Right now we think the Saturn 4 Ultra is the best printer for beginners.
The cheapest printer we would recommend (that is not used or an open-box)?
Well, the Elegoo Mars 4 is really cheap and is at that sweet sub 20 micron pixel size.
You are getting a pretty bare bones printer, but it does exactly what it needs to do.
You might miss some more build volume later, but other than we doubt you will miss all the smart features that much.
If heating is in any way an issue in the space you have to print, we think going with a heated VAT is the best way to solve the problem.
Not a lot of companies make printers with heated VAT. But luckily there are some very good options!
We think the best heated VAT printer you will likely find from Uniformation.
