    Idk I have a $300 printer upstairs and you totally can just print stuff on it immediately. The days of super expensive (money and/or time) printers is past.

      Oh yeah, you can get printing immediately, even make some really good stuff, but I’m taking about the people who think they can pick up some bunk diy thing and bag of pla and get professional resin detail on their first go.

        Oh, yeah, it’s gonna be a little rough around the edges. I don’t really mind layer lines, but if you want a perfect product you’re going to have to put in some design work to get it to that level and have a good printer for it.

          I actually love layer lines, it’s such a distinctive look and feel that few other things have. I keep a second profile for my printer that prints at 0.4/0.2 just for that feel.

            I’m still amazed you can draw something on your computer and physically print it into reality. I do agree that layer lines can look pretty cool.
