New to the forum but using S3D for about 4 years now.
I'd like to add one more vote for resin printers. There are solutions available, but they're not great. People who tabletop game (D&D, warhammer40k, and simiar), or paint miniatures as a hobby, are now printing their minis with resin. Same with people who build scale models, they like making higher detail parts very cheap instead of buying metal photoetch parts or cast resin upgrades. The big complaint is supports & orientation issues. People are unaware of superior software like S3D because they got started with resin printing. It's very much a different social circle from FDM.
I personally have 1 elegoo Mars 2 pro & a elegoo Saturn. As well as my FDM bots (Flashforge Creator Pro). I use these for prototyping new products, and the resin printers can't be beat for a presentation piece.
