Beyond gloves and paper towels, here’s a non-exhaustive list:
Silicon mats - You will spill resin. You’re going to want to make sure you have these bad boys on the surfaces you’re working on for easy cleanup.
Mesh Filters - when you pour resin back into the bottle, you’re going to need to filter it so no partially cured goobers get into your bottled resin. Pick up a funnel while you’re at it.
Pickle Strainer - if you aren’t getting a wash and cure machine, which I recommend instead of a strainer, you’re going to want to rinse your prints in this. It’ll keep you from dipping your hands in the contaminated IPA.
A bucket. Buckets are always handy. Never regretted having a bucket nearby.
Eye protection - You will inevitably clip or pop some supports and a little piece of sharp resin is going to come flying at your face. When it bounces off your goggles, you will be so glad you bought them.
A good mask - I use this one with these filters which I change out every 3-4 months depending on how often I print. I wear a respirator for the resin fumes but also for…
A spray bottle - I put IPA in there to clean up drips and stuff. I can’t recommend spraying the IPA without a mask, but I’m not a doctor. Just someone who is cautious.
A flexible build plate - this is a luxury, but is so worth it in my opinion. Makes it easy to go from ending a print to starting a new one with the least amount of hassle. I like the Wham Bam plates personally.
Most of the time if you are printed items with supports the slicer will create a base (or you can manually add one in the slice) that will have a beveled edge so you can easily get the spatula under it an peel it off the build plate. You can also add a magnetic build plate to the printer to make it easier to remove the prints.
The respirator that you have there is a clone of a 3M respirator. As long as the mask itself is sealing to your face tightly it is probably fine, however those cartridges included with it appear to be just dust/particulate filters. You need to have Organic Vapor cartridges like the 30 60926 https://www.amazon.com/3M-Cartridge-60926-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B009POHLRC to block the fumes.
That being said you shouldn't need to expose yourself to the fumes for 30 minutes. I just use Ikea 365+ food storage containers to store my IPA. I remove the print from the build plate, drop it in the IPA and either put the lid back on and let it soak for a few minutes or just start scrubbing it with a brush while submerged in the IPA. Usually I have the IPA opened for only a few minutes for a print. There are also other cleaners that you can use, but I have no personal experience with them. Try searching the subreddit or YouTube for alternative cleaners if the IPA bothers you.
The pickle jar should be fine for storing the IPA. The strainer could even be useful for dropping your prints in the jar and using the strainer to pull them out.
You shouldn't need to drain the resin tank between prints, unless you have a failure and need to drain it to clean the tank / FEP of debris.
thanks a ton!
the one i was talking about was not really a pink cube, more of a brick-ish shape; i meant this one
I use these cartridges 3M Multi Gas/Vapor Cartridge/Filter 60926, P100 Respiratory Protection
And I don’t smell the spray at all until I take the mask off.
Those cartridges go with this mask: This one
