Short answer is - I have no idea :-)
Fdm machines massively out number resin machines for a few reasons.
1) resin is still very expensive, on average 5-10 times more expensive than basic filament.
2) apparently the resin smells quite bad
3) resin is messy, sticky and a right bastard to clean up if/when you spill it
4) build volumes are generally much smaller than for fdm machines
5) until recently they have been much more expensive than fdm machines.
My only knowlege of the moai comes from anguses video. On the whole he does know what he's talking about.
The form 2 is more expensive, but is considered a very good machine. I've seen one in action, and to me it seemed to mechanically overcomplicate things - but never having owned a resin machine: what do I know :-)
Have a look at the flashforge hunter: http://www.flashforge.com/hunter/
Flashforge do have a very good reputation for producing excellent and reliable fdm machines, so I'd expect no less of their resin products.
Were I you I'd be inclined to invest in one of the cheaper resin machines and see how I went on before splurging for one of the more expensive units.Last edited by curious aardvark; 01-03-2019 at 06:35 AM.
