I got my Mars around Christmas, and I quickly found out that ChituBox (the slicing software that comes with it) is pretty bad at adding supports to models. It usually WAY overdoes it. Upon doing some research, I found that most people use PrusaSlicer to add the supports to the model, and then import THAT into ChituBox for slicing. It does a waaaaay better job. Anyway.

I use chitu but i manually place support...
Im not going to repeat what most have already said here as all are good points...
one thing to remember as well handing wet prints from the printer... remember also keep them away from sunlight till after the cleaning process as dripping or pooled resin will also cure and could cause extra areas to clean and correct....
And dont do what i did once where i was handling a messy print got a fair amount of resin on my gloves, and then accidently put my hand in direct sunlight.... ouchy that gets hot, curing resin is exothermic.... and it can get very hot VERY quickly...
I have a photon, and i recently sandted my alu bed with some rough glass paper... i first went with some finer grits around 200 300 and then a bit with some rough 80... this adds extra grip and in my case not enough to make prints impossible to pull... but certainly good enough to come off a slightly worn fep with no problems.
Also resins, youll find youll be going through tons of different brands till you find your go to... Im currently trying monocure under recommendation for its very low shrinkage... but i must addmit elegoo abs like is my main go to. Though apparently it has a rather large shrinkage %, ive not really seen it but for my current project as im casting anyway, i went with the more brittle monocure.
And yes get good thick nytril gloves, vinyl or latex break easly and i think IPA eats them through quickly... When i used them i got tons of IPA and resin on my hands :/ not cool................ will see if i grow any extra fingers.
Oh one last thing to take into consideration. The orientation of the part being printed on the print bed. off angles usually print best, but also less likely to flappy warp. Also suports can be sanded and removed but usually leave little pimple scars. These can be filled with fine filler but try and aim to get those supports attached to unimportant parts of the model where possible.
