Thank you! Resin printers seem more dangerous and messy than I am ready to deal with. Printing minis would be fun, but I’d prefer safe and easy even if it means they aren’t feasible. Besides, your test print photo looks good to me!

If that quality is alright, I recommend starting with 0.4mm nozzle, as it is a good balance between speed and detail (and I believe that it's by far the most common diameter too).

And if you need more detail you can replace the nozzle with a smaller one later - It's a pretty easy operation.

I don't remember what your original question was, but I can recommend the Core One as a pretty good beginner friendly printer. It's pretty Open in that you can use any slicer you want, (I use PrusaSlicer... it does what I need, and it runs natively in Linux) and Prusa isn't taking the walled garden approach that Bamboo is currently going for.

I highly recommend getting the kit over the already assembled one because:

  • It teaches you how everything fits together, making maintenance easier.
  • It's fun. The assembly instructions are really good.
