Hi everyone. I’m looking into my first 3D printer and would like a resin one for the great detail it can produce. I’m looking for companies that make respected machines that aren’t out of China. I know of Prusa but their resin printer is incredibly expensive for me and a beginner.
As a second note, I would love to support a USA company as a first choice if available and like the software and firmware to be open source. I’m happy to have found PrusaSlicer with UVtools so there’s one less Chinese/semi proprietary/subscription based software.
Epax is a non Chinese brand (USA) that still isn’t as expensive as Prusa and from what I have learned is that it’s a good company with a good product. I’m not necessarily looking for something cheap, just not extremely expensive to me. I don’t want a Chinese based company’s product with lots of technology having access to my network in my house.
