Resin is rather messy and potentially dangerous if not dealt with properly, so yes, you will definitely need to clean off prints and your machine when it's not in use. Curing is definitely required as it hardens any part of the print that may not have entirely hardened using the UV lights in the printer itself. If you're tight on money you can use the UV rays from the sun to finish hardening.

And make sure to have plenty of ventilation, resin isn't fun to breathe in.
