Following on from both the weekend Scaleforum and last nights zoom meeting thoughts have been going on in my head as to whether to buy a printer and if so what type ?
First off, all the detailed discussions go right over my head, so to start off with the main criteria is ease of use,
Looking at the printer James had at Scaleforum, for cheapness resin seems to fit the bill, but could I handle all the setting up adjustments, then there is all the UV and cleaning that has to be undertaken
Would a FDM machine be an easier, therefore better machine/system for me to use ? If so what are good budget machines ?
Secondly it seems most of us in the group have resin printers, so for the benefit of the group would it be better to buy a FDM machine and be a group source for bases, jigs etc ?
I could learn the basics of an easier system to use and in the future migrate into resin printing as well
At the moment I would really like to try out the plug track system, with a standard turnout both in 4mm and 7mm scale. It was intermated at Scaleforum that there are a couple of people able to offer printing services, any thoughts on who they are please.
I am hoping I have used the correct terminology
