Hi everyone. I’m looking into my first 3D printer and would like a resin one for the great detail it can produce. I’m looking for companies that make respected machines that aren’t out of China. I know of Prusa but their resin printer is incredibly expensive for me and a beginner.

As a second note, I would love to support a USA company as a first choice if available and like the software and firmware to be open source. I’m happy to have found PrusaSlicer with UVtools so there’s one less Chinese/semi proprietary/subscription based software.

    This is my course of action with anything I buy.

    1. Is there an ethical source
    2. Is there a second hand source
    3. Is there a EU company that may source the manufacture in China
    4. Rarely, buy the Chinese one
