Owning a 3D printer is a bit like owning a race car, except you are both the mechanic and the driver, which means you'll need to take responsibility for maintenance, and occasionally fixing things when they go wrong.
You'll also need to have a PC and an internet connection, be capable of Googling for solutions to common issues usually found in forums such as Reddit, know how to use screwdrivers, Allen keys, and spanners, and have the confidence to pull things apart for maintenance and repair.
Elegoo have an excellent collection of support resources to assist you in replacing parts yourself.
Most Jaycar stores can offer guidance and insight into the repair and maintenance requirements for your printer. Stores are unable to inspect or work on used resin printers in-store due to safety requirements, sorry.
Note that some components such as release film are considered consumables that wear as you use them (just like tyres on cars), and are expected to be replaced by the owner when worn out. The LCD, resin tank and build plate have a 6 month warranty, and the printer base structure has a 12 month warranty.
