Why Resin 3D Printers Are Better 

I've been trying to figure out if I want to get a normal 3d printer or a resin printer for a while. Thanks for the information!

I don't think anything about what you said here was wrong. I think an entry level FDM printer is probably wrong for your needs though. I love my FDM printers for rapid prototyping systems which need to maintain certain physical properties and mechanical accuracies. If I make something that is a part to replace something on furniture that broke, or if I need to make something that is going to hold some amount of weight, or utilizes its own hardware like gears, the FDM printer feels totally unmatched in my experience with resin. When I print models I make with Zbrush that are meant to be cool display pieces, or miniatures, or anything with, say, legible text, the resin printers win all day long. Easily, hand over fist, just better in every respect imaginable. I was unaware that resins had advanced to have better mechanical properties and that "smash these keychains and give em the ol' bend" portion was very worth watching. I also run my FDM printers all the time, nonstop. Running the resin printer I have nonstop feels... fiscally irresponsible and very different. I'm not trying to contradict anything you're saying here, just to scream into the void with my own findings for anyone comparing the two.

I used to work at a filament production company called Printbed as their production specialist. There is quite a bit that goes into the process of making filament. Temperatures being the big thing, speed being another, but color being the biggest. Some color pellets from some companies would work amazingly, others not so much. Colors that work at said company would also work amazingly, but some colors won't. We've had a big issue with white for a good while where we could only make it work on 1 machine through hand mixing. The rest of the colors would work on the more automated machines. Some colors from a different company also had a residue that would be produced at the die. Thankfully they don't use them anymore and are having their color produced at a different company. Some colors also just didn't work no matter what we tried. Having that happened sucked because we would have to clean out the system, try again, and if it failed then we didn't run it again. But after producing a new color that was consistent, we tested them on our 3d printers extensively to see if they worked in the printing process and at different temps for each run to see what would help it run more efficiently. Granted, they are higher end machines, Ultimaker S5's and Prusa's. Luckily I'm in good relations with them to this very day. I still order my PLA from them and catch up on what they're up to.

What an informative video!

Resin gets you better prints, but sometimes it's not just about the quality. Dealing with fumes, the whole curing process, having to wear gloves and stuff, etc can be quite a headache.

Man it's so great to see you back

What do you suggest using and wereing when cleaning resin

Don't own one 3d printer since im broke but maybe i will try these 3d printer one day. Great video!

Great video

Resin = Awesome Quality Models Filament = Great functionality That’s my thoughts

Pretty good editing

Nim could you make an L3/33 CC pls

You're not necessarily wrong with anything here but for larger and more rigid parts a FDM printer is needed. For what you do, model printing, a resin printer is best because you want detail and flexibility in color and finish. For FDM I need strong and specialized parts that don't fit on printers the same price as my heavily modified Ender3v2 and Ender 5. You aren't wrong for your case but it all comes down to use cases at the end of the day. I wish to get a resin printer eventually to print models but for now I just need to make parts that go into my other hobbies

Nice

Can you please make the arjun mbt tank or universal carrier please please please please please please please

Bro please make ( Morser Karl mortar )

New video lets gooooooo

Cool

Can you make some tank i am missing the tanks

Resin printers pretty much turned me around on 3d printers being decently viable currently as a consumer product. Still waiting to see how much better they become over these next few years before getting one. Guess Penus Maker 4000 is on its last days, the resin one will help fill out your shelf with anime girls and shrek statues now.

Can you make the chi to

Helo nim productions i hope you rest well on your cardboard tanks, how about you make fv215b 183 ill show mine as a reference model to make it easier but rest first

dude you made me restart making cardboard models. I think you should creat a discord server so people can talk about models.

Make Morser karl

Ok

ᑭᖇOᗰOᔕᗰ 🤭

Can you 3D print an army man with a minigun

Can you just make tanks because i miss tanks

Army men

sell your 3D prints like my dad

Just make a tank ffs

“Making the sun a natural enemy” My skin: yea that’ll happen xD
