Different Types of Printers

Different types of printers include regular 3D printers (filament printers), resin printers, and even chocolate 3D printers.

Regular 3D printers print out filament, and the filament turns into hard plastic. Resin printers give more attention to details and are used for prototyping, high precision, and smooth parts. Filament printers, on the other hand, are used for bigger projects and projects that you want to last longer.

Filament printers have a larger build volume so they can build bigger things. Resin printers are smaller, but the detail in your prints makes up for their build volume. Filament printers are also cheaper than resin printers, which is why most people get filament printers.

Filament printers are more easy and beginner-friendly, while resin printers use more expensive materials to make things. Filament printers use cheaper materials.
