I got an Elegoo Mars awhile back so I have a resin and a filament printer (ender 3 pro). Resin printing can be fairly affordable just make sure to also get (or diy) a decent cleaning and curing station. Oh and gloves, lots and lots of gloves. Resin sucks to get on skin. I had one model that didn't cure right, I picked it up days after print and it cracked and resin poured out on my hands. Many days of my hands feeling burned
Was it a closed hollow model without drainage holes? I think some cured resins will actualy weaken if they are in extended contact with their uncured counterpart.
I thought it was a solid model and the inner sections didn't fully cute. Can't remember though. There were no drainage holes, I know that much.
