Usually 3D printers that use resin and stereolithography apparatus technology (SLA) allow more detailed, yet faster prints, but storing and keeping the liquid resin is a bit more challenging than simply handling filament (FDM 3d printer). Differently from a filament printer, a 3cm height object is printable in one hour. Alfawise recently released its W10 SLA 3D…
