 The Elegoo Mars is a compact resin 3D printer renowned for its ease of use and affordability, making it an excellent choice for makers seeking detailed prints. Utilizing masked stereolithography (MSLA) technology, it employs ultraviolet light to cure liquid resin layer by layer, resulting in finely detailed models. The printer features a simple touchscreen interface and uses Chitubox slicer.

 ===== Material Profiles =====
-The material profiles include per-material settings including temperature, speeds, and shrink rates.
+When using a new resin, it is recommended to calibrate the exposure time. Exposure times vary per resin and per resin color.
-These files are only necessary if the materials are not present in your software. Check back here occasionally for more materials!
+To find recommended exposure times, find your printer and resin combination in the spreadsheet below.
