Which printer is best for what I want to build?
Hi all, first time posting here.
Very new to all this 3D printing business so please excuse any naivety.
I just wanted to get peoples' opinions on which printer would be best for what I intend to build. I have looked over the various types of printing and due to the sheer amount of detail I want to produce and on a relatively small scale, it seems resin is the way to go. I am aware there are also different sorts of resin, and that's where it gets a little confusing for me. On top of that it seems most resin printers have build sizes relatively small. I noticed many are rectangular in shape. Ideally I'd like a square plate. The reason for that is for the model I want to build requires a piece that would be about 3.5"x3.5" in width and length where most seem only to be limited to 2.5" wide from what I have gathered. There is the chance I could break down the model into smaller parts but that would make it difficult, but perhaps necessary. Anyway I'll cross that bridge when it comes to modeling that part. I digress.
I'd like to look at something around CAD$400 is possible. Which type of resin print would work best for what I want to do? I'll attach some pictures of the model I want to try printing first. It's about 3" tall, 3" long and almost 1" wide. I'll also throw in a shot of the analysis from Netfabb.
Eventually I am planning on producing a number of these. I've heard DLP resin printing can actually be quicker than SLA. Is that true? If so, would DLP do something of this detail justice?
