I’d also note that resin printing is a huge pita compared to FDM. Resin has quite a few post-processing steps, plus it requires much more ventilation and handling equipment.

Pls don’t make me go back

+1 for Unifi Protect. Their hardware may be a bit pricey, but it doesn’t require any cloud/Internet connection and the app/interface is excellent.

I haven’t tried the 3rd party cam support, but I don’t think the price for the cameras is too outlandish for what they are and how well they’re built.

Iirc the Unifi Protect software can be self-hosted now too.

I’ve built a 0.2 and a 2.4 from kits and they’re great printers with loads of mods available, but I find them had to recommend unless you have the ability to print your own parts. You can buy a kit that comes with the printed parts or get them through the print it forward program, but if you break any of the parts during the build, it can be challenging to source a replacement.

If you do build one and don’t have access to another printer, I would recommend printing replacements for the most critical components once you get it running (especially the hot end parts).

Otherwise, they’re super fun projects and I can’t recommend them enough.

For those who don’t get it
