I have done this with both, and honestly, the resin miniatures, while impressive, are a fuckload of work to remove the supports from, clean, cure, and dispose of the uncured resin and prep for the next plate. The hazard they present isn’t terribly noticeable until it is. Ventilation is probably necessary for all 3D printers, but unless you have outdoor or purpose built external venting, resin will bother you eventually.

As for FDM, you can do it, but it will never reach resin detail. On a 0.2mm nozzle, for instance it would clog too much, or print too slow and something would end up interfering with the print. A 0.4mm does alright, but you’ll want to do some abrasive finishing and some thicker layers of primer.

It also depends on your plastic, how much you are willing to tweak your printer, etc. unfortunately, unlike resin, once you dial in the settings you will have to monitor it as the plastic absorbs moisture, the extruder and other gears wear down ever so slightly. Ambient temperature will affect how well layers stick, and slight breezes will be noticable.

oh god dammit

edit: looks like it was four lots affected by broken machinery, 29oz packages, P-7211, Best by date of 09-04-2024.

So im in the clear

Fried chicken anything, nuggets, tenders, wings, drumsticks.

Beef sandwiches.

Fries are awesome, I don’t know why you’d do potato chips though.

Broccoli, ham, rolls. a lot of stuff

Man I’ll tell you, if I popped a Valium for my panic attacks my life would probably fall apart

Do they even give people valium anymore? I mean for like anything other than colonoscopies?

Lmfao my 6 year old will love it

I cant actually find any good comparisons of the ships, but it’s not that surprising.

I mean after the explosive size difference between prime and altered timeline stories I suppose they could have some fun with it. And the fact that it has a unique method of travel.

No, this didn’t happen in the show did it?

I would have remembered Discovery being larger than the Constitution class.

They still have bowling on TV.

Are you guys trying to make me feel older than I really am?

You know I’m something of a giant ship that can lay pipe myself.

but that’s a great picture to show this scaled in

wait, exploration rigs?

Those things that look like platforms rather than boats?

they can dock?

Happy Birthday!

You’re a great person too. I’m on good terms with my parents, but I’ve always had a really hard time connecting with my dad.

This community keeps giving me ways to talk to him with the shit you and other come up with, so thank you too.

You just know there is a software engineer in Starfleet who was repeatedly reminding their superiors that leaving the “safety protocol” feature as a user option would end in disaster.

They probably eventually got word of Picard’s debrief from First Contact too, and subsequently shut up about the matter. Innocents were one thing, the borg another, apparently.

… “Radiation Levels”

I cant stand this. While yes, technically radio and microwaves radiate from a source, we do not use that term to describe anything but particles capable of ionizing other particles. Phones cannot produce UV, Xray, or Gamma radiation. If they are emitting particles from radioactive decay, that would be a level of maliciousness.

Being the trekkie that mentioned star trek, my process was:

oh god, someone wants to talk star trek with me, don’t mess this up, you have waited a long time for this, do as we prepared!

“Thank you.”

Damn it.

oh jeez thats a great one

I got a pretty nasty scratch across my nose lips and chin today and all I thought was “well, I deserved that”

cats are abusive as hell aren’t they

I love it

Yeah, the strange new worlds spinoff of Discovery easily makes the show worth it to me.

Which makes me wonder how far they will go with the new casts of TOS characters. Kind of exciting

Brilliant

Alright this community is my favorite by far
