Hello, guys! I hope you are well.
I'm thinking of buying a 3d-printer to develop some stuff for my ants (among other things).
I know this is not a technical forum. I just want to grab some of your knowledge (aka, experience) before making a decision.
I'm leaning to resin printers (AnyCubic or Elegoo) mostly because of the end quality. I'm aware resin requires a second step, wash and cure, but given the finish... I think it is a fair price to pay.
Is anyone using printed resin gadgets for ants products? Like test tubes caps, feeders, etc. Is it safe both the resin as what is used to wash and cure? I'm a newbie in both, ants and 3d-printing, so, I want to be extra careful and avoid any side-effects.
Not counting the possibility of printing bigger pieces and the price of filament vs resin, is there something else that could make you opt for a filament printer?
Remember that my question is ant-oriented; I'm particularly concerned about products affecting the health of my colonies.
As always, your advice will be much appreciated.
