I have 5 printers, 2 FDM and 3 resin.What printer are you using?
You can get decent resin printers for around £180 now, its just all the extras like wash and cure stations, resin, IPA for clean up, or water if you use water washableLooks as if this is going to be the shape of modelling in the not to far distance. As soon as printers become cheaper I can see lots of modellers getting one.
I can't really see the attraction myself. It sounds rather messy, costly and potentially hazardous.Looks as if this is going to be the shape of modelling in the not to far distance. As soon as printers become cheaper I can see lots of modellers getting one.

I'd rather see a future in which resin printing is perhaps a local service you can pay for, from folks who have the best kit and skills, while designers are freed from having to manufacture their creations themselves.

FDM are an Ender 3 pro, my first one. and a CR-10 V3 for larger prints like full Mandolorian helmets.
Resin printers are all Elegoo, Mars 2 pro, Mars 2 ( green version ) and a Saturn for larger prints.
I'm looking to add an Elegoo Jupiter in a few months for an even larger build plate.

Ah, thanks for the heads-up. I'll check them out.That already exists to some extent.
Look at Shapeways, you can find what you want, ask for it to be printed at a specific scale in a specific material.
Some are charging a lot more than others, but that's just supply and demand at work.
