Talk me into one! My understanding is Downsides: Mess/smell ? Upsides: Level of detail ?
I'd really love to know your thoughts haven't been able to sell myself though - I mainly am looking for part strength or resilience, detail matters less to me
Downsides and upsides are what you’ve listed here. Also, resin isn’t just stinky, it’s toxic, and setup and tear down is a pain in the ass.
