I finally tried out my resin printer. The results were mixed, but I’ve learned a few things so my success rate is getting to about 75%. I’ve just been using other people’s designs, but I hope to learn how to make my own at some point. Resin printing is much nicer looking than extrusion printing in my opinion. As long as you have the settings set well you don’t get that noticeable layering. It looks very smooth like something you’d injection mold. Of course there is the problem of painting things afterword, but that’s not a huge issue, plus you can just print things in a color that doesn’t need paint, like black. I started with gray, but if I had been thinking I should have chosen white. I have several Transformers that had white accessories that you can get designs for. It would’ve saved me the trouble of painting them if the better part was already white. Anyway, it’s a new thing that I hope to use to do something interesting. If I manage that or not is another matter.
