    I'm not sure that that is a correct comparison. Does anybody have any experience printing with a SLA printer? How much does a liter of the resin actually print? My guess is that the volume of the polymerized plastic will be greater than the un-polymerized liquid but I'm not sure by much.

    How do you care for the liquid? Will it evaporate? How much will it polymerize in a sunny room?

    Ah, forgot about that. Makerjuice specifies 8% shinkage for SubG and 3.5% for SubG+. No such information seems to be available from Formlabs for their resin.

    I've edited my post with the adjusted numbers. Accounting for shrinkage increased the cost of the SubG+ by $6 and the SubG cost by just over $12.

    Hi guys
    I'm with Kdog. It's not a simple comparation. SLA (resin) brings a high detailed model printed, as much more than ABS or PLA FDM printing. So how much that feature?
