"Look at the resin printers as they can print with higher resolution."
Yes, and no. Resin printers will indeed print at a higher resolution, but there are lots of things that you make for which resin is not as good an alternative as the FDM printers and for which you don't NEED a high rez for. The things that she is making is a good example, quick and easy print, made out of strong plastic. Resin printers are frankly, a pain in the ***. They are great for some things, no doubt, but it is sort of like cooking. You pour the liquid in the vat, don't breathe it if you can help it, then you start your print. IF all goes well, you then open the machine and have a dripping wet item and whatever liquid is left over in the vat. You take the plate off the machine that your print is stuck to and either get your rubber gloves on and take it off the build plate or else leave it attached and open up your Iso alcohol and swish the item around in it for 5 minutes or so. Then you blow off the excess with an air hose and rewash it in soapy water. Then, still wearing gloves so you don't get it on your skin, you have to set it with UV light. This is usually best down while your part is submerged in water, so you need a glass container large enough to hold whatever you print. Oh yea, you have to remove the item at some point from the build plate. It will be stuck pretty good, sometimes you ruin your part unsticking it. Anyway, once the UV light has cured the part, you can safely touch it now with your bare hands. But don't let the cat or dog chew on it, it is still toxic. Now, if you cured it while in water, it probably has not warped any. Otherwise, you got to decide if slight warping matters. Let it sit for a week and it may warp more, you just never know. Oh, and while you are waiting, you need to get a bottle and run the left over liquid in the vat through a very fine filter. You NEVER put used resin back into the virgin resin bottle. And you can dunk you vat into your alchy and clean it too after draining it.
OR, you can buy a roll of plastic of whatever kind you want to use, print it on the FDM printer and it is ready to use, no washing, curing, blah, blah, blah. Whoops, you say the dog got ahold of it and chewed it, no problem, dog will be fine, just print a new one...
