Covers how the resin printing landscape has evolved since 2020, including improvements in monochrome LCDs, build volumes, bed leveling, resin containment, and user-friendliness. Details the setup experience of the GK3 Ultra — a large-format, 35 kg machine with a 300x160x300 mm build volume, automatic resin dispensing system, and pre-leveled build plate. Actual print results comparing resin (ABS-like and water-washable) versus FDM (PLA) across miniatures, LEGO Technic parts, and functional prints will follow in a subsequent article. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
