Just be careful to make note of the amount as well. The standard is around about $45/L, which would be around 60cad. I'm in the US, so can't speak about anywhere local and such. I just went off of the prices listed on amazon and such.

For the Bluecast:

Note that those are 500g, so approx. .455l, so about 350cad per liter.

Monocure:
https://www.amazon.ca/Monoprice-Rapid-Printer-Compatible-Printers/dp/B07H45B4QF/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=monocure%2B3d%2Bprinter%2Bresin&qid=1575075417&sr=8-11&th=1
That's for half a liter, but priced like a full liter.

Anycubic, they don't have grey atm, but price would be pretty much the same:
https://www.amazon.ca/ANYCUBIC-Printer-Photon-Printing-1000ml/dp/B07GPDMVKP/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=anycubic%2B3d%2Bprinter%2Bresin&qid=1575075556&sr=8-9&th=1
That's for a full liter, and it's cheaper than the half liter of Monocure.

Elegoo:

A bit more, but not nearly as much as monocure or bluecast.

You could try something like this in a closed Chamber.

build one for my FDM printer with a 220V version of this and it reaches 60°C easily. could definetly go higher i think.

A cheap temperature controller and you're good to go.

You could also just heat up the inside of your building chamber with a small version of this. This ensures a good cooling of any printer components.

OK. The tank I bought for $89 bucks and I put some Mean Green cleaner to run in it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075FTFD3R

As for the Curing box, I have a lasercutter so, I used the awesome https://www.festi.info/boxes.py/ website and designed a two part slide box. I made some mods in Inkscape to accommodate my light.

I lined the box with this lasercut plastic mirror: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075M7VGVM

I etched this on the outside (you have to remove the top to see it) https://images.app.goo.gl/EJGCvurAFwsE2zwN7

I bought this light: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076P8SMF1

I added this solar turntable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078N3DR75

Yeah. I plan on setting mine up in the basement because of the potential mess/odor but don't want to plug/unplug the flash drive. My FDM has Octoprint which is a drag/drop of my gcode file. Would be nice to have that on my Elegoo. Fortunately I have network connectivity in the basement, so...

Couple of ways I came up with -

1. I could buy a wifi-enabled flash drive. But that's a single point of failure. Nah.
   
2. I could use some old equipment I have lying around not doing anything - i.e. an old ASUS eeePC netbook. It runs Windows 7 32-bit and just for spits and giggles I installed Chitubox on it and it runs fine (don't think I'll use it on the netbook, though I could attach a spare external monitor and use it as a station next to the printer I guess).
   
   Then I just add this: https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Computers-Peripherals-Indicators-USB-SW20/dp/B074TZKGVR/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=usb+share+switch&qid=1566479458&s=gateway&sr=8-8
   
   ​
   
   I can create a share on the network and drag/drop the files from my main PC upstairs, then when going downstairs and prepping the printer with resin, switch the flash connection over to the Elegoo. When done, switch it back. The netbook can sleep when not in use and WOL with a magic packet.
   
   I think anything intelligent on the "B" side of the switch might do - maybe even a Pi Zero W with Samba (can even use WinSCP on the main PC side to copy files over).
   
   Too bad can't control the printer remotely (other than maybe an intelligent power switch to shut it down). Maybe they'll update the firmware to do it someday...
   
   ​
   
   Oh yeah - I have an ELP mini IP camera that will watch the printer so I don't have to stand in front of it...

I built my curing chamber around one of these.

I took a 5 gal bucket (Lowes) and dremmeled a rectangular hole in the bottom (to mount the light) and lined the bucket with foil tape like you'd use for heating/cooling air ducts. Works like a champ.

Canadian here, there is a pretty good deal on the 1000g grey right now

I use this nail UV light from Amazon.

I give the resin 2 or 3 minutes under the lights and that's enough to fully cure it.

To rotate the models under the light, I use this solar powered display

If the model and rotating display are too tall to fit under the light, I support the light on some plastic boxes. Try not to look at the light and keep pets away.

I ended up buying this uv curing lamp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PV8CG91/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_EHHVDbZK3GR59 because of the reviews and price

I already have 500ml gray resin but I also bought another 1L bottle of gray

My test print rooks came out really well but stuck so well to the plate that one broke while I was trying to take it off, I need to find a better way to remove prints, I also printed a file that I sliced and supported myself which came out quite well. I am familiar with fdm printing and some of the skills transfer over.

I printed the plugs with cavities for the logos, then mixed some of the white with different alcohol dyes (128 drops per 30ml of white gave some nice colors) and used really fine tips to fill them in and put it under the curing lamp. After they were cured for about 15 minutes, I wet sanded them smooth, from 500 grit to 1000 to 3000.

Elegoo Grey has a very low oder. I run two printers in my craft room and it doesn't bother me at all ( I may have a higher tolerance than others though?)

Siraya Tech has a resin in pre-order on amazon right now that they are saying is fast curing, stronger than most other resins and they claim it i "not smelly" haha. It's $33 for 1L and releases at end of August
