They seem to avoid the ugly lines and brittleness that come with a standard 3D printer. I’m just wondering if they are super finicky or the resin is toxic in a saltwater tank. Because the main reason I haven’t gotten a 3D printer are the lines I. The layers. It just doesn’t look good to me.

Resin is toxic.

Someone in my town is selling an almost new ready to print Aquila S2 for $130 (no filament included). I'm really struggling with this decision because I haven't 3d printed before but I dream of being a maker with a CNC router, laser engraver, and 3d printers (I already have plenty of woodworking tools). I also have some not so recent experience using graphic design programs including Blender for 3d.

Would this be something I could pick up and get going fairly quickly or will it just end up being another hobby that collects dust due to the break-in/training period?

It really depends how dedicated you are to it. 3D printers break (usually just a clogged nozzle) and they need to be fixed.
Before I started printing for others, when my printer broke it would sometimes sit around till I got around to it...

That being said, its a good intro to other crafting type stuff... for instance, I used my 3D printer to make a cnc-router!

That's what I like to see! I want to reach a point where the only thing holding me back from creating things is my own imagination.

Does anyone use the sonic pad for their ender printers? My ender 3 s1 pro should be here next week and wondering if I should get the sonic pad for it. Will be using mostly petg filament. Not looking for crazy print speeds. I'm just printing stuff for my tanks. I do like the advanced bed leveling feature and also has the PID calabration adjustments built in. As well as being able to send files to print from my computer rather than loading it onto an SD card.

Just got my BL touch working on my Extended Ender. Printer was useless without it. Waiting out dealing with GD drivers for custom Marlin paid off... It now seems like a non-issue with Marlin 2.1.x (2.1.2).
