Editing 3DPrinting (section)

==== Types of Printing ====
Since no one has access to [[Dark Age of Technology|Electron beam melting desktop technology]] this wiki will cover the most commonly used home printers. 

'''Digital Light Processing (DLP)'''
DLP (also called SLA) technology uses a digital light projector screen under a vat of UV resin. DLP 3D printers can image an entire layer of the build all at once, resulting in faster build speeds. While frequently used for rapid prototyping, the fine detail allows for quality [[Miniatures|minis]] to be printed. However, this type of printing is significantly more complicated, and thus costlier, than FDM printing.

'''Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)'''
FDM is a common desktop 3D printing technology for plastic parts. An FDM printer functions by extruding a plastic filament layer-by-layer onto the build platform. It’s <s>stinky</s> (just use PLA) but a cost-effective (up to 30 times cheaper than [[Games Workshop|GW]]) and relatively quick method for producing physical models. This is best for creating [[Citadel Hard Foam Terrain|terrain]] or larger models. [[Image:Ender3.jpg|thumb|Costs a fraction of a titan and will make you <s>one</s> legions]]
