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.
Inevitable, I think, if you go down through all the levels—aren’t some basic electronic components made only in China these days?
That depends on your opinion of the Taiwan situation. Taiwan is a big producer of chips and electronic components, and lots of electronics in general are made there.
