I got mine through Amazon (currently $256 US).
There are some additional costs to be aware of though.
It can add up if you're not careful. So plan for an additional $200.
Canadian here, there is a pretty good deal on the 1000g grey right now

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:

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:

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.
Fixed: First off, thank you guys so much for your advice. This forum is a huge boon to owning a photon. Passing it forward, the problem was solved after I did the following:
Typically if a part of a model doesn't print, but later pieces do it's pretty safe to presume it's something to do with supports.
As for hollowing, I'm chasing that dragon myself. I've noticed The hollowing function will cause "artifacts" that show up on the first layer of the print when it's sliced and previewed, and they ruin the model. I've had some success with MeshMixer, but the last model I tried to hollow wound up with cracks in the base, so I stopped until I can spend more time researching how to fix them.
Resins - people are using a lot of Elegoo brand resin for their minis. A lot of positive buzz surrounds the Siraya Tech Blu resin, but be aware it needs to print in a warmer environment, 25C or warmer. I have used the sample translucent green to good effect, and I'm working through a bottle of Anycubic white that is similarly working quite well. I've got some of the Elegoo gray and Anycubic plant-based resins sitting in my workspace that haven't been opened yet. I have high hopes for the elegoo and no idea on how the plant-based resin will do.
No idea if anyone makes an auto-refiller for these printers. Good idea though.
