resin printing is grim and messy and dangerous and can't really be done inside your house. do lots of research before you decide to do it.
mines gone untouched for about 18mo as I didn't feel comfortable using it in my hobby room after a couple uses (that's with proper ventilation) at our last place so I'm waiting until my workshop is done and has power so i can run it safely here at our new place.
the machine itself is fine, but the gallons of iso alcohol needed for washing that then needs to be filtered for reuse so you dont spend 100s on buying new alcohol and the clean space for prepping and curing and safety gear to avoid skin contact and risks of building up resin allergy when exposed to the fumes over time that never goes away again. disposal of waste liquids.
it's a great tool and makes amazing stuff but it is way more hassle than most people will admit to themselves (and you) if you go on the resin printing communities.
