Resin printers are the laser printers (in a few cases, literally) of the 3D world.

Filament are the inkjets, super likely for something to go horribly wrong because of a tiny miscalculation.

Yeah except the ink is super toxic and will make your room smell awful and give you cancer for touching the final product for resin printers which generally isn't true of your book report

Printer toner isn't exactly healthy or good smelling either

But it gets fused to the paper really nice making it water resistant even. Your room does end up smelling like ozone though.

Theres nothing inherently wrong with traditional 3D printers though? You can get high reliability from multiple printers on the market.
