I’m sure I’m over thinking a lot of this, but I don’t want to spend hundreds, wait weeks for it to turn up and then discover I can’t do something because I didn’t know I needed a £5 widget or bought the wrong £10 doohickey.  If I hadn’t bought my airbrush in a bundle deal I’d never have known I needed an adaptor between the brush and the hose and I’d have been frustrated by its absence, and annoyed that I would have had to pay more delivery charges too.  Part of me is also looking for a good reason not to buy this big expensive thing I don’t really need, but where’s the fun in that?  Its also good to go in to a large expense with realistic expectations.

So should I be looking to buy spare FEP sheets or screens at the start, or does it come with spares?  400 hours is only 16 days and if some prints can take a few days that’s not very long.

Thank you both for repeatedly answering my questions (I’m sure I’ll have more soon enough), although this is all your fault Blinky.  Until you kindly sent me some bases I considered 3d printing too expensive, not there yet quality-wise, and basically out of reach future tech.  You broke that illusion and now I want to play.  Damn you and your generosity 😉
