Consumer 3D printing. I still can’t get over the fact that I’m able to get a device for only a few hundred bucks that lets me manufacture almost any kind of simple widget on-demand in a matter of hours. It feels like I’m living in the future.
I've been considering a 3D printer for quite some time. Do you recommend FDM or SLA?
What kind of things do you print? How often do you use it? Does it just collect dust? What kind of hobbies do you have and does a 3D printer support/enhance it?
I'd stay away from SLA, I'm told uncured resin can be quite toxic.
Quick Google: "Short-term exposure to resin fumes can result in dizziness, headaches, and throat irritation. The long-term risks are unknown due to lack of research, but may include increased risk of cancer."
