Speaking of Hot Wheels.... that's part of the reason I am yest again down the 3d printer rabbit hole. Man does custom HW. DONT EVEN GO THERE. So the research I have been doing points towards a resin printer vs a filament style for what he wants to do. But resin doesn't appear to be a good fit for reef applications. So back going to see if there is anything that will work for both of us.

Right resin is bad for aquariums, heck it has to be post processed correctly and the fumes are bad too.

But a FDM printer with a .2mm nozzle can really print tiny details

you could do pretty decent HW with a .2 nozzle.... a lot of folks don't like all thew chemicals you need for resin printing.

That is a rabbit hole I stay as far away from as possible. I support his addiction to some degree. He is mostly into the customization of cars. No clue on the game aspect of things.
