Long-ish time lurker here, first time poster. Came up through my ranks in Adobe Illustrator and 4 years or so ago dove into the world of 3D printing. Self-taught in all things I went with Blender as my modelling tool. It took a while to wrap my head around the 3D space, but I get it now and I'm fairly proficient.
As a hobby I love to build TV and movie props. The 3D printer lets me do most of that, but when it comes to the "hero" props that they use for close-ups and such, they often go with the real deal in substrates. So, now I will be taking on metal machining. I'll be turning a LMS 7x16 and I'll be getting a small mill as well.
I wanted to share this as a first post because when I was trying to vent my resin printer there was very little info out there. My setup is a Saturn (gen 1) resin printer and it's enclosed in a Vivosun grow tent. The exhaust fan is mounted inside and it blows the air out a basement window that I had converted from glass to polycarb. If anyone has questions, please ask.
