Still, you'd need a pretty good 3D printer to get that much detail in such a small object, right?
Yes, but you’d have to start with wanting to print something as dumb and ugly as this.
The cheapest resin printer can do this easily.
Doesn't seem that outlandish for a resin printer.
No.
You can do it with a $200 printer using a smaller nozzle.
This, my (former) 3d printer ($200) can print whatever with a smaller nozzle, the .2 rather than the stock .4.
Even the cheapest Resin printers could do this. FDM printers definitely not.
Resin printers are a big health hazard though, I developed epoxy contact allergy from exposure to the rosin, even though I was careful with always wearing PPE
Well obviously you were not wearing PPE and let your skin touch the uncured resin, but I agree the toxicity of resins is vastly understated by the industry.
PPE for those resins isn't a pair of gloves and a paper mask, it is a full cover splash apron and a full face respirator that is rated for organic chemical gas. The fumes getting on your skin or trapped in mucous membranes like the lungs and eyes that causes it, direct spills just accelerate the process.
