Free Video Course
A clean start with miniature resin printing, from your first purchase to your first paint ready miniature.
20 short video lessons covering the gear decisions that actually matter, the calibration steps that get you a clean first print, and the post process workflow that leaves a miniature ready for primer. No paid tools, no upsells, no generic advice.

Who this is for
Built for the person who has just bought a resin printer, or is about to.
You have read the forum threads, watched a few YouTube videos, and now you are looking at a box on your doorstep wondering where to start. The course is a single structured run through the whole workflow, from choosing gear to finishing the first clean miniature, without the scattered learning and the three year old advice that sends most beginners in circles.
It is not for experienced printers chasing exotic materials, commercial print farms, or anyone looking for dental, jewellery, or engineering advice. Those are different problems and deserve different resources.

Instructor
Peter — Micron Monster
Peter has been painting miniatures for 27 years and running a resin printer every week since affordable MSLA machines arrived. He built Micron Monster to fill the gap between manufacturer marketing copy and genuinely useful beginner guidance. The course comes from the same printer room as every article on this site, and every recommendation in it has been tested on real hardware before it was written down.

Frequently asked questions
Is the course really free?
Yes, the full course is free. You give an email address, the lessons arrive, and you can unsubscribe at any time without losing access to what you have already watched.
Do I need to own a printer already?
No. Lesson one covers the gear decisions you need to make before buying. If you are still choosing a printer, start with the course and the buying guide together.
Is this suitable if I have already printed a few miniatures?
It is designed for beginners, but it also covers the workflow mistakes that catch most people in their first year. If you have a nagging problem that has not gone away, the course will probably surface it.
How long does the course take?
20 video lessons, just under five hours of content in total. Section 1 (Buying and Setup) is six lessons. Section 2 (the CRISP printing process) is fourteen lessons. The follow up emails arrive across the first week or two to help as problems come up, at a pace you can keep up with alongside real life.
What happens after I sign up?
You get an email with access to the course straight away. The lessons live on a hidden hub for subscribers, organised by section, and you can come back to the hub at any time. Over the following days, a short sequence of follow up messages covers the problems that tend to arise once you start printing regularly.
What else comes with the signup?
The same signup also gives you the full resin printer comparison table and the regular newsletter. Three things, one signup. There is more detail on the newsletter page itself.
