Topic: I’m thinking about getting a 3D printer.

I saw a YouTube video last month of someone 3D printing a full sized R2-D2 (something I’ve wanted 15-20 years). My dad caught me rewatching the video last week and now he’s excited about the potential project.
So, now I’ve started researching 3D printers and things about more projects (Indiana Jones Hovitos Idol and Maltese Falcon).

Does anyone here have a 3D printer, thoughts or ideas?

Been thinking about getting one to do one off car mods, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.  Resin printers are more accurate than FDM machines, and getting less expensive so there's a lot of makerporn of them swirling around lately, but keep in mind that you have to handle and store the resin which can be a pretty big hassle.
