    Talk me into one! My understanding is Downsides: Mess/smell ? Upsides: Level of detail ?

    I’d really love to know your thoughts haven’t been able to sell myself though - I mainly am looking for part strength or resilience, detail matters less to me

      Downsides and upsides are what you’ve listed here. Also, resin isn’t just stinky, it’s toxic, and setup and tear down is a pain in the ass.

      Like a HUGE pain in the ass,

      Resin prints are also brittle, so unless your just using it for minis, FDM is still more useful/ fun

        OK perfect confirming what I thought - the have their uses but I have no interest in minis and don’t need anything more detailed than I can get at 0.12 layer height
