    Bought a resin printer!

    I bought a resin printer a while back....ended up giving it to a buddy who is into Warhammer and other miniature games no doubt way more tricky! even just the slicing part has quite a bit more to it! but the detail in the things you can print is stunning enjoy your new toy!
