I’ve been doing 3d printing with PLA/PETG/ABS for about 10 years and I’m looking to try resin. I’m not all that familiar with the workflow besides knowing it’s UV cured. Is all curing done in the same machine? What are the reputable brands? What kind of build volumes are available?

    Does the temperature stability requirement mean it is difficult to print larger items that may take overnight?

      If you put it into a temperature regulated environment, then no. If you have it standing unregulated where night will cause a large (±5~10°C) change in temperature, then yes.

      Also, when printing for more than ~16 hours the resin might set, resulting in minor color changes, or bad prints if allowed to set for more than a day. So even if you intend to continue printing, you should clean the resin basin at least once every day.
