Thanks, I might have to pick one up. I did a deep dive into resin printers some years ago. My goal then was to learn to use the resin printer and Blender to create my own plastic model of the "space tug" that NASA was proposing back in the early 1970's. github.com/EngineersNee...

I enjoyed the process—more or less. Resin printing is a dirty business (and Blender has a huge learning curve). The result was pleasing though.

This printer's been extremely reliable, with the only print issue (a slight deformation) being the result of my laziness, deleting supports where they should've been lol. I was surprised by that. But still a lot more involved than FDM.

Aggressive price cut like that is usually a land-grab move. Formlabs is private so no SEC filings to peek at, but when hardware players in this space get aggressive on pricing, I always check whether insiders at public competitors are buying or heading for the exits.
