I am sure this is a very expensive printer , 

Quote "The Inkspire printer is described as capable of surgical precision—50x50 microns with minimal layer height of only 25 microns"

Whats the best an Ender 3 can do to compare ?

This is my favorite application of 3d printing tech.  It's so easy to recreate old parts or custom trim pieces like that with some time in CAD and a couple hundred dollars invested into a machine.

That specific printer is pretty expensive for the hardware and build volume.  You can get the comparable Elegoo Mars for under $300. However, resin printing is much more toxic, messy and smelly than FDM printing.

I've done a couple center cap projects for forum members with my Elegoo Mars and I have a couple more projects for friends' cars in the pipeline.  The final product you get out of SLA machines is just unreal.

You'll need to log in to post.
