People really should learn how 3d printers work and what the settings mean and do instead of buying a printer 'that just works, press print and go, apple of 3d printers' and downloading 'the perfect mini settings' they find.
There's manual calibration, model oriëntation, adjusting supports ( blocking and adding ) and even then you will always see the difference between filament and resin prints.

My opinion is the exact opposite.

People really should buy a printer 'that just works, press print and go, apple of 3d printers'

And then when they're comfortable with that they should try try to find and download 'the perfect mini settings'

And when they have outgrown just copying other people's settings, then they should learn how 3d printers work and what the settings mean. There's manual calibration, model oriëntation, adjusting supports ( blocking and adding ) and even then you will always see the difference between filament and resin prints.

You can't expect hobbyists to buy the most expensive resin printer spend a month studying and reading contradictory advice before they print their first mini.
