@Krauerking my opinion is no. For many things you can find a model on line. Much of the challenge can be getting the printer to work as you wish, so modelling might not be first on the to do list.
Random tech crap.

@WolfLink @papalonian yeah, something like this but you might try. MS 3D Builder is out is still around our even good old Meshmixer!
Alternatively you could try adding a plane and extrusion this downwards on blender, Meshmixer etc
@bdonvr you’ve probably heard this before… But magnetic PEI build plate is the best adhesion I’ve had.
Used glass on my CR10S but it’s night and day vs PEI on the ender 3 S1 plus.
Keeping it clean is key but copious quantity of IPA and a very light sand has worked so far.
@CarbonAlpine Amazing model. Did you publish anywhere? I’d like to print for a full size mock up horse I made.
@MissJinx there are a few but some are just rebadged versions of other slicers. Prusa/Orca and Slicer are two I have tried.
@MissJinx I’ve had issues with some slicers not coping with vase mode.
Did you try changing the vase mode settings?
Some models don’t work so well on vase mode. Usually with steep overhangs.
You might try a different slicer?
@andyspam this may be of some use. The YouTube channel I liked. https://auroratechchannel.com/
@AlexanderTheGreat have you tried 3D Builder on windows?
I’ve found it to be complimentary to Meshmixer. It has a nice combine function to simplify complex models.
@AlexanderTheGreat it’s old and cranky, but Meshmixer is still something I use.
Let’s you split and combine as well as align
@RegalPotoo @Wilshire good point. Release agents are used for casting concrete. They look to be oil and water mix so I’m guessing most plastics would be compatible.
Also has to be a clear path out for the print/concrete.
@LazaroFilm glad I didn’t bother learning this then…
@FearTheCron @YourAvgDuckHead According to encyclopedia Britannica, I’d say a fairly reliable source, your out by a factor of 100. https://www.britannica.com/science/chromosome
A human blood cell is approx 10 micron long, according to this… https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2998922/
Apologies for the pedantry, I couldn’t help it.
@CaptainFlintlockFinn are those resin support marks? If so you could try reorienting your model to reduce the number of supports needed. Possibly experimenting with the number, spacing and thickness may get better results. I’m no expert but have found it helps sometimes.
@PeleSpirit good luck. I didn’t regret it. Been lots of fun!
@parallax I can vouch for the Mars 3. To some extent it depends on what you are printing but 28mm miniatures are great.
@PeleSpirit 3D printing is fun but it can be a time sink. Consider how much done you can invest in this. If you want to push on with other things then POD may be best. If you want to have it as a tool in your bag, then buy one for sure.
One thing I would say about resin printers is they can’t be left for long periods and are best cleaned and packed away if you aren’t using them.
@KroninJ @joemansmoke oh and a set of files can be useful as well.

@KroninJ I use something like theses. https://www.halfords.ie/motoring/tools/garage-equipment/garage-essentials/rolson-4-piece-pick-and-hook-set-340885.html
Useful for the small supports and difficult to reach ones.
@slug @Krauerking there are some out there. Can’t say I looked to closely but I wasn’t terribly impressed.
