    I would assume electricity costs are minimal for resin printers. I haven’t measured mine, but the only major power consumers in a resin printer are the Z axis motor and the UV LED. The UV LED isn’t continuously on and the Z axis doesn’t do a ton of movement. Compared to an FDM printer that is constantly running two heating elements and moving a heavy hotend all over the place, the power consumption should be a tiny fraction.
