Well resin sucks ass, for one thing Honestly, I kind of prefer the resin that 3D printers used, because it's got a minimal amount of cleanup compared to injection-moulded plastic. With plastic, you have to clean up all the sprue marks and file down the mold lines for every single part, some of which can be an absolute bastard to deal with if they're in an area that has a lot of detail. Old-style resin used to have similar issues, but 3D print resin has very little cleanup involved - just wash them (which, with a 3D printer, you're already going to be doing in the curing step anyways), remove the supports, maybe do a little cleanup if they didn't come off cleanly, and you're ready to go. The only real complaint I've heard with resin is it's more brittle/fragile than plastic, but that's kind of a null issue when you can print off a new part - or even an entirely new model - whenever you need. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! <cite>darkknight109 posted [p:975860461] in So games w...
