What do you all do with empty resin bottles?
I assume I can't just throw them in the recycling bin.

It's been in my pocket through 4 regenerations,
but it's still good.

Put them in trash bags until I get around to building the small curing light I bought parts for. :shobon:

I got an appropriate UV LED, a battery harness and a switch. I plan to just stick the LED in there for 10 minutes and then toss em.

rinse them out with alcohol and save them for when I want to experiment with a resin blend and/or use some pigment to make coloured resin. Watertight, light-opaque screwtop containers of any size are actually a PITA to track down, and actually kind of expensive to buy new for the purpose.

:siren: I made a new thread

I'm not the expert on the specifics on what you should actually buy if you're shopping for a printer today so I left a blank spot for that info. If you've got something to add to the OP or the 3D printer recommendations second post, please post in the thread or PM me to let me know and I'll add it!
