My husband and eldest son share 2 different types of 3D printers and these are kept/used in the tool/storage area of the garage.

Both were bought from Jaycar.

Ok .... I’ve just been informed as follows :

1. Anicubic Photon 2K resin printer

2. Anicubic Photon 4K resin printer (higher resolution in print)

Note : These resin printers are used by my hubby and son who make all sorts of things (mainly for war gaming and miniatures).

Also...the printing must take place in the shed with open doors because of the strong chemical smells which are emitted during the printing process.

It's called additive manufacturing.

Maching something from a chunk of metal is reduction manufacturing.

They still have a way to go with AM with material properties and cost it does produce less waste.
