These look great. I want someone to do some comparisons between resin vs fdm, but AFTER they've been painted. For someone who's a super master painter, resin probably wins, but I wonder if the difference is even noticeable for an average painter.

I would absolutely want to do this. A friend had a resin printer. I will print a few minis and paint them. Then si a compare between them. Great idea. Thank you

Bro pls. Fdm prints are not going to be great. Things like faces will look absolute garbage in comparison to resin. They can be passable but you will do better to just group up with a friend or two and share a resin printer. I have an x1c bambu with 0.2 and the quality is unacceptable to me. It is so far from resin and gw plastic that the money saved does not make up for the lack of quality. Completely unacceptable.
Please never claim resin quality from fdm printers. It is plain clickbait lies. It can however be passable for trying a model or similar. It can print terrain or space marine tank sides (flat). But humanoids just does not work the results are absolute garbage.
An fdm is reduced to the simple prints - like a bike body or tank side. Or terrain pieces. Yet a lot of post processing is required.
Buy a resin orinter or buy the printed resin models from a friend with a printer in your wargaming communities. All communities have plenty as resin are so good quality right now.
Not even just this - the soft or abs like resins are fantastic. Much less brittle than the pla you suggested.
They are models, but subpar. Not the miniatures you are proud about.

Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate your thoughtful comments. While I agree that you won't get the same quality, some folks simply can't print resin for a number of reasons. This video tries to help those get in the best quality out of their FDM printer. Will look to improve the videos in the future!!
