    Why are people recommending FDM printers over Resin?

    A inexpensive LCD based Resin printer would be miles better for the use-case you describe.

    Upsides of Resin compared to FDM

    Much higher quality
    Easier to use (only two variables, instead of hundreds)
    Less expensive
    Much Faster (dpending on print type)

    Downsides of Resin are:

    Print volume: the cheap resin printers have a small volume of 115mm *65mm *155mm (larger than a pack of cigarettes)
    smell/fumes: it's not bad, but you'll want to setup your printer in a well ventilated area or vent it outside through a windowmess/cleanup:
    washing process after printing that you don't have to deal with when printing fdm.
