There's really no wrong way to do it. Just not makerbot! This is a great price point for an ok printer. I'd hate to be wrong but I do think they had some QC issues a few years ago with fire, but I...

Curious, how's your overall experience been with the Photon? My son's had a Flashforge Finder for a year and likes it, and I've been thinking of finding him an entry-level resin printer.
