I’ve had access to a roommate’s 3D printer, but they’ll be moving away soon :(

Wondering if people have takes on machines that are considered entry level today but may have evolved handy features since, well, when you were an entry level user.

If this isn’t the right place for this please be nice I’m sorry

    For minis and other things where you want lots of small details you want a resin/SLA printer.

    • Keep in mind that as well as the printer itself, you also need equipment to wash and cure the resin after it comes out of the printer
    • Resin is extremely toxic, accumulates in the body (ie, lots of small exposures over time is just as bad as one big exposure), and you can develop immune sensitivities to it where your body freaks out with even small amounts leading blisters, burns and breathing difficulties. Do not screw around with resin. Use proper PPE. Dispose of waste resin properly
