Should I buy a Photon Mono 4K from Facebook marketplace?
I’d like to get a resin printer. I am an absolute noob and I have practically no money (not exactly true but let’s just say I’m trying to be thrifty.)
This is currently in my area and I’m interested in it. But I’m trying to do some research and it looks like AnyCubic no longer supports this machine, and I read in this communities beginners guide/FAQ that there’s a firmware update that will brick this machine - so if I’m technically trying to install it for the first time, doesn’t that mean that it will basically never work for me?
Anyways, TLDR; is this a good deal for a beginner or is it essentially a scam because the printer is destined to not work?
EDIT: thanks friends, I’m definitely going to pass - would take reccs on educating myself/researching printing because I want to understand what I’m getting into!
I was pretty sure that I wanted resin because the detail is better than filament, or so I had heard. However, every resin print has to be painted whereas filament can print colored, and I am not confident in my amount of follow through to paint every print 😂 I am a hobby collector for sure but I’m trying not to spend $1000 on something that will only entertain me for two months or so yknow
