    Default SLA 3D printer?

    Does anyone have access to a high resolution SLA (resin) 3D printer? Something similar to a Formlabs Form 3?

    I have a small model I'd like printed, so that I can make a polycarbonate mold.

    I have a filament-based 3D printer, but the layer lines are too prominent for my application. I also have a small CNC mill, but the tooling marks also won't do. I'd be happy to trade time on these machines.

    I have a Prusa mini that I just put a 0.15 nozzle on and did a 0.05 layer height print in PLA. I assume you are looking to do a lost wax cast? Could also try printing in ABS and vapor smoothing? But I don’t think ABS burns out as well?

    Sorry about the delay - I have some filament printers, but the layer height is the big constraint, as they show in the polycarbonate sheet I am molding over the PLA/ABS/whatever.

    I found a guy off ebay who will print my part on his Form 3 printer for $30. I'll probably go with that angle, or otherwise end up buying one for myself.
