Howdy all, recently I have been thinking a 3d Resin printer would be a fun hobby and tool that would benefit ship model building.  I have some experience in 3d printing about 10 years ago I had a Crealty 3d Printer, but it was a more traditional 3d printer with the spools of material.  I eventually gave it up do to time and that printer had several issues that I could never quite work out.  I know printers have come a long way since then, and the Resin printers have really impressed me.

I do have a few newbie questions regarding the Resin printers.  I will mainly be printing smallish stuff to compliment our models (blocks, cannons, decorations, small figures) stuff like that.
1. Can I get a decent hobby setup for under $500?
2. Do the resin printers give off any toxic fumes?  I have a 4 month old daughter, so this is a big concern of mine.

3. If I can't keep the printer indoors, I will put it on my workbench in the garage.  In Oklahoma temperatures can easily reach greater than 100F/38c in summers with plenty of humidity, and below freezing in the winters.  Would the printer have any issues being used in my garage in these temperatures?
