    Resin printing isn't nearly as annoying as reviewers make it sound like... in fact i find it easier and less hassle than FDM printing.

    There are very few variables with resin printing: only one moving parts (two if you have a moving peeler), and only two settings to adjust (exposure time and layer height).

    Compare that to the amount of moving parts and the hundreds of interdependent settings on an FDM printer.

    @djprinter

    It sure is less hassling during the print, but it is post printing or any troubleshooting.

    If your resin happens to stain the galvo, you're done, nor having Form2 which solves nearly all of your problem, having PDMS layer lift, short life vat,etc. Manual cleaning is also messy as it tends to stain to skin, cloth. It's actually hard to clean it without using alcohol.
    Playing with ISP isn't safe either, it makes your skin dry and brittle on the long run and if lucky enough to get skin cancer.

    @OP, check the MSDS pretty sure some of them are labeled as carcinogenic on the long run.

    Are there at least indications that they're trying to improve the resin machines? Safety wise, and otherwise.
