With high resolution, but it might cost quite a bit.

Do you have any knowledge about the strength of resin output? I've been thinking about dipping my toe into the 3D printing world, and have been waiting for the next jump in resolution. I've seen the resin output and it is in fact very high quality without the usual stepping. I'm curious how strong it is for things like car parts.

Oh, and thanks for the compliment. I've been having a lot of fun with it. My dollhouse.
