Various Items on 3D printing

[Doddy]

Just a curve-ball... the resin printers (and I'm thinking the Anycubic in particular) are becoming rather affordable and offer quality (and dimensional accuracy) far beyond what my fdm machines has achieved. Build platform size is the compromise, as well as buggeration in post processing but its impressed the hell out of me. There are some limitations particularly for "engineering" designs (rather than organic modelling) but they are at a price that makes them interesting.

Hint: I managed to print modelled internal separate M3 tapped holes in a printed enclosure (4 in each of 3 enclosures) that each worked flawlessly without any post-processing beyond UV curing. Presentation of the model is almost presentable (this is the area I'm concentrating on)
