The realm of 3D printing can be a mysterious and intimidating one, but this enormous $120 discount on the beginner-friendly Elegoo Mars 2 Pro is the perfect way for budget-conscious shoppers to break into the hobby. If you act fast, you can get the Mars 2 Pro for $189.99 instead of $310. That's quite the discount.

That's also the lowest price we've seen for the Elegoo Mars 2 Pro resin 3D printer. While we've seen this $189.99 price-point for it once before, it had jumped back up in cost until now. With that in mind, we'd recommend acting fast to secure this device for less. Then you can be printing off models for the best tabletop RPGs in no time.

Elegoo Mars 2 Pro | $310 $189.99 at Amazon
Save $120 -

Elegoo Mars 2 Pro | $310 $189.99 at Amazon
Save $120 - Want to make a start with resin 3D printing? This is probably the best beginner's machine you could hope to get. With accessible software and a smaller footprint that means it won't take up loads of space at home, it's a solid option for learning the ropes. With a 2K resolution, it's also going to produce some good, detailed miniatures overall. Plus, this is the printer's lowest ever price.

Of course, you will need resin to go along with it. From personal experience, we'd recommend considering this water washable resin from Elegoo via Amazon. There are cheaper options like this photopolymer resin for around $15 at Amazon, but that requires IPA alcohol for cleaning prints whereas the water-washable one can make do with plain old H20.

So, how should you get started once your printer has arrived? We'd suggest printing off a test piece before trying a full model to make sure your settings are correct. You'll find one in the software already, but it's also a good idea to try the Validation Matrix and print it off with different 'normal exposure' times to see what turns out better (with normal exposure, the lower, the better). Then you'll be able to find the sweet spot and get the crispest possible prints.

Not feeling this printer? Check out some of the other options listed below.

I've been writing about games in one form or another since 2012, but these days you'll find me managing GamesRadar+'s tabletop gaming and toy coverage (I spend my time here handling everything from board game reviews to the latest Lego news). I've also been obsessed with Warhammer since the 1990s, and love nothing more than running tabletop RPGs like D&D as a Dungeon Master.
