Reply To: 3D Resin Printers

[Danny M2ZParticipant @dannym2z]

I have no experience with 3D printers, but appreciate their useful properties for manufacturing intricate components for model aircraft, such as dummy engines, pilots, corrugated wing skin moulds and also fishing lure prototypes amongst other things.

I came across this interesting machine here in Australia Jaycar 3D resin printer

It reminded me of the early stereolithography machines that I observed in the early 1990"s and then they cost big $$$ (used to prototype Holden bumper bars)

I know that similar machines are available from overseas at a cheaper price but I prefer the local consumer protection laws and warranty conditions.

So my question is: Has anybody used one of these machines and what are the advantages/disadvantages compared to a filament 3D printer?
