wouldn't recommend resin printing for beginners. its kindof a nightmare
It took a while to get all the upgrades and tweaks working to get a good print.
Never considered resin until this price.
Wondering how much harder resin will be.
Fewer VOCs for sure though. I won't even open my SLA cabinet (Which I keep in my garage) without a full respirator on, and won't open the printer itself without wearing gloves and a face shield. The toxicity between the two are worlds apart.

I don't know if it's hard, but it's a whole different world. I've been FDM printing for about 8 years now. I picked up an SLA machine about 6 months ago and I'll say that very little of my FDM experience comes into play. It seems hard to me because I'm having to start all over again in the learning process. There's also a ton of work involved after the print is finished. I'm strictly functional as far as my prints go, so most of my SLA stuff has been molds to cast resin or rubber into, so when I use it, the extra time and effort it takes to process the parts makes up for itself by having molds that are pretty much ready to fill as soon as they're washed and cured.

You're comparing apples to oranges. They have very different use cases, and resin printers are generally more expensive to run. Did you look at the retail price of this printer? It's more expensive than an Ender 3. Resin printers have less moving parts, but some of those parts are consumables and more expensive to replace. The FEP film in the vat is a consumable and needs to be replaced after its worn out. The screens will eventually wear out, and they're pretty expensive. Resin is also much more expensive than filament. FDM printer parts rarely need to be replaced. I have four FDM printers, and the only thing I've had to replace on them in over 2 years were the cheap fans they came with. The ones I replaced them with were $10 for a pack of five, and they've been going strong for nearly two years of nonstop printing. I have two resin printers, as well, and they cost more to run. Resin printers are great for detailed cosmetic pieces (like figurines, etc), but FDM printers are much better for functional parts.
It's also heavily depends on the filament you're using. PLA and PETG produce less volatile compounds and microparticles than cooking does. ABS, ASA, and a few other engineering filaments are up there with resin. I mostly print PETG and a little PLA, but I still run my printers in a spare room as a precaution.
Set off my fleshlight alarm.
