Resin buying question - Bulk buying?

Does anywhere know if or where SLA UV Resin can be purchased in bulk for a discount? I've been looking everywhere and can't find anywhere to get a discount for buying multiple 1KG jugs of resin, or in sizes bigger than 1KG in general.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

How do you like that Photon?
I thought Zyltech sold larger containers

Love it, such an easy transition from being a beginner.
I was hoping for something larger than those containers actually. Was thinking maybe there was a bulk discount for buying a bunch of the 1 KG containers.

Hello
First of all sorry to crash your post but you said the Photon was so easy after being a beginner Can I ask was it your second printer? And if so do you think it would suit a beginner as their first printer. As iv got the money for a printer and wash setup. But did not want to buy a smaller printer just to find that I wished Id had bought the larger one first if you know what I mean Allso even if for any reason I did not like this part of the hobby it would be a lot easier to sell as the market as a glut of small starter unit?
Anyway thank you
Best regards Osh

Hi
I have an Anycubic Photon, not the "S". I already had a filament printer for a couple of years. The resin printer is very different, there was not much that I had learned that I could use on the resin printer. The Photon has a large following on Face book so help is always at hand. There are many Youtube videos on setting up using supports etc.
I would say for a beginner as long as you have patients at the start it's a good printer. I would like a bigger one sometime but I'll have to wait. If I have larger prints I still have my other printer. You can always split a print in 2 and glue the 2 parts together afterwards.
The main question about size is, what will you use it for.
I hope this helps.

Hey, excuse the sales-y post but I found your question on Google and wanted to reach out. You can buy DSM and Loctite resins here,
https://shop.wurthindustry.com/collections/resins and we offer 10% off on Resins if you do a subscription. Not sure whether that's the volume you're looking but wanted to leave this here.

Hi and thank you for sharing! What do you think about Mono and Vyper? I've heard a lot about Photon but are there any similar options(

Thanks

I looked the other day to see what Anycubic were selling. They now have a range of larger printers. The one thing I done like is that the top lifts off, mine is hinged. It means more space needed, I don't have a lot. I like the look of how the top plate is held with screws. A lot more positive than the ball arrangement on the Photon.
Prices have dropped so I'm seriously looking for the next larger resin printer.
