That’s some useful information.  Thank you.  So for every 2 litres of resin I pick up I should be looking to buy 1 litre of IPA more or less.  I just found 4ish litres in my games room (House mate used to work in chemistry until his lab closed down).  Its been there unopened for a few years but I imagine its fine.  I assume you can’t buy IPA in the supermarket or hardware store.  I guess this is an ebay/amazon job normally too?  Could this be bought in suitable quantities and prices over the counter at a chemists?

I’ve seen a few people mention an ultrasonic cleaner.  Is this just for washing minis or for also cleaning machine parts?  I already have a basic jewellery cleaning one for my airbrush.  Perhaps 3 inches deep and just big enough to lay an airbrush down in.  Will that be enough for whatever its needed for (Washing large models and terrain excluded, unless they come in parts).

There’s also talks of UV nail curing stations.  Is there anything I should be avoiding or looking for on ebay, or just grab any old uv lamp, a roll of tin foil and a card box, coat the inside of the box and put the lamp and minis inside?

You’ll have to feed back on the windscreen wash.  That’s vastly more available than IPA, and I’d guess cheaper.

If those are resin prices right now and they’ve risen, what are you used to paying?  I’m assuming a month after all this is over prices will head back in that direction.

Does anyone have any thoughts on power costs?  Is it no worse than leaving your computer on, or do you see massive spikes when the printer is running?  I should probably google for some 3d printing for noobs videos soon and stop bugging people.
