It's good than you are now on BFG FR too !!
About this resin vs 3Dprint discussion, i really don't know what to think. I am feeling than the 3Dprint (and i am mainly thinking about the FUD) is really badly consider by the community. And still i don't see why. I am feeling both material and process are having they one advantage and mistake.
Resin is cheap when you start to produce "en masse", and it's true the surface is pretty nice to paint.
But to make it affordable you need to make a big production. Sometime you have bubble or some mold issue also.
In term of 3D print, FUD is some kind of good balance between price and quality in comparaison with all the other material Shapeways is offering. All the other material is not fiting the type of precision we are looking for.
It's printed on demand, meaning no stock for the producer and so no logistic to take care.
I agree some time you see some line or other artefact the process is creating, but really with few thin layer of paint you don't see them so much.
What i also enjoy with the 3D printing there is no restriction about what kind of shape you can print. In resin you need to check than you piece can be take out from the mold.
I am feeling people in general are having bad opinion with this kind of new process. There is for sure stuff to evolve with this new process, but i don't see so much issue with it.
And 3D printer will evolve soon

I am more unhappy with all the Shapeways politics about how far you can push there machine....
