If you don’t have that kind of time (or a space that won’t fill with noxious resin fumes) you won’t be using your printer often enough for it to be worth it. When this humble editor got his printer in 2020, it didn’t go well. Used it all of a dozen times, and it broke twice, forcing me to get an entire new printer or spend 2 weeks just trying to fix the damn thing. Then the bottom of the bat broke and resin spilled everywhere… it wasn’t pretty.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

This method coming to the home printing market signaled rise of even cheaper home 3D printing. Several companies make SLA and MSLA machines specifically targeted at the wargammer/hobbyist market that are fairly affordable by hobby standards. The Elegoo Mars series and Anycubic Photon family all start in the 200-300 USD range.
