¶ Flashforge Hunter 3D Resin Printer
The FlashForge Hunter resin printer is a type of 3D printer that uses liquid photopolymer resin as the printing material. It creates highly detailed and accurate models by curing the resin layer by layer using a UV light source. This process is called Stereolithography (SLA) or Digital Light Processing (DLP) depending on the technology used in the printer.
Resin 3D printers are often used for creating highly detailed and accurate models, prototypes and molds, with fine details and smooth surfaces. They can be used in a wide range of industries, including jewelry, dental, and medical, as well as design and prototyping. They can also be used to create figurines, miniatures, and other small intricate objects.Resin 3D printers also allow for printing in multiple colors, and even transparency, which makes it a great tool for creating complex models with various materials properties. They also can be used for creating molds for casting and prototyping in small scale production.
Overall, resin 3D printers are a powerful tool for creating highly detailed and accurate models, prototypes and molds with fine details and smooth surfaces. They are a popular choice for many industries, including jewelry, dental, medical, design and prototyping.
¶ Safety
Every tool carries risk. There are several safety measures that should be taken when using a resin 3D printer:
- Resin is a toxic material, it should be handled with care, and protective gear such as gloves, respirators and goggles should be worn when handling the resin and cleaning the printer.
- Resin is highly flammable, and UV light sources used in resin 3D printing can produce intense heat and UV rays, so it's important to keep the printer in a well-ventilated area, away from any flammable materials or open flames.
- Resin 3D printers produce strong odors, so it's important to use the printer in a well-ventilated area and to use a respirator mask when printing.
- Resin 3D printers should not be used in a damp or humid environment, as this can lead to problems with the printer and the models that are printed.
- Clean the printer and the printed models with appropriate solvents and materials as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintenance of the printer.
- Keep the printer away from children and pets to prevent accidental injury or ingestion of the resin.
- Always read the safety data sheet (SDS) of the resin you're using, and follow the recommended safety measures.
By taking these safety measures, you can ensure that you use your resin 3D printer safely and avoid any potential hazards associated with this technology.

¶ Thingiverse
First Site on this list is Thigiverse. A website that is all about the discovery, making and sharing of 3D printable things. It is a very intuitive website with very little in the way of bells and whistles. You don't even need an account to get started. Just go to the site and start scrolling. If your after something in particular try searching for it in the search bar. All downloads are free, easy and quick (relative to size), keep in mind that because the downloads are free sometimes quality and take a bit of a dive though this is very rare as uploaders know what they are getting into on the site. Additionally if you find an absolutely fantastic print that has changed your life you can sling a donation the creators way through the site.
All in all, the site is one of if not the go-to place for easy 3D prints and models, the community is very give and take and know what they are getting into but don't be afraid to ask them questions as most creators are incredibly polite.
- Number of free files: Over more than 2M
- Navigation and layout: Each file uploaded into a separate project without much categorization
- Account needed: No
- File types available: Almost all are STL but have encountered some blender files (very rare)
