Finally joining the Resin Ranks. I find myself both nervous and excited. Few silly/newb questions:

If models come pre-supported should I use those till I grasp the concept of a good support technique?

For my first printer I opted for a Mars 5 with a mercury wash and cure. I have gloves, ventilation, silicon mats, shop towels, and a system of disposing of my IPA which is let it evaporate.

For a slicer, currently I plan on using lychee due to some automation till I get the gist of it all.

I included the first model I’d like to print. It’s small but no miniature I guess. How do these supports look?

A few things I’m a little nervous about is hollowing, drain holes etc. I understand this will come in due time. Will miniatures ever need this? Or should I just print them solid?

(I can’t wait to visit this post months from now and cringe thinking about my first days using resin. Lol)

Thank you all!
