I'm looking at either an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro or an Anycubic Photon Mono 4K.

Right now I'm living in a two-bedroom apartment, and there isn't a great way to properly ventilate.

Honestly, 3D printing is like it's own addiction. . . I mean hobby. I got into 3D printing when I was still in highscool and it has done nothing except taken my time and money lol

I am in a 3 bedroom apartment and just have my printers set up in the dinning/living room. Thankfully my roommates are pretty chill about it but I know Ive seen people put them inside pop-up "fume tents" that seem to work well. Some people even drop a mini air filter unit into the fume tents and say they cant detect any smells. Additionally Ive seen an increase in "ECO" resins that are supposed to be "Smell Free". I just use basic resin.

On SLA how long does it take to do a single hex piece and a say a tree?
On Resin how long does it take to print a single figure, and how many standard figures can fit on your Anycubic Mono X - like a Marrow Warrior?

Cant really speak to SLA but the time for resin DLP printers is purely based on the height of the model. The mono X can print about 12 marro drones in under 3 hours. The photon s can print 6 in about 4 hours. One of the smaller trees would take around 6 hours but you could prolly fit about 8 of them on a single mono X build plate. Water tiles/standard hexes would take even less time. I suspect water tiles would be under, hour, standard hexes around 1-1.5hrs, and you could prolly get about 8 tiles per mono X build plate if I were to guess. (assuming you print the tiles flat. You could get a lot more by lining them up vertically but you would increase your print time to about 3ish hours on the mono x) Plus cleaning and curing times.
