I don't really need any heroscape minis,(Or any other minis for that matter) but it would be fun to make top notch minis if the want ever arose. My fdm snapmaker does a pretty good job for minis but I like to generally use it for terrain. Any thoughts on resin printing heroscape minis would help. Thanks.

I'm in two Facebook groups that often show pictures and comments about resin prints:
3D Printed Terrain & Miniatures
The Table 3D Printing Guild
Both the Mars and the Photon come highly recommended on the sight--people regularly blow me away with the detail they can get. You'll need to vent the fumes, and you'll need to be able to add drain holes to the model, and you'll need a UV curer. Also, the resin costs about $1 per figure instead of 15 cents. And the resin is more brittle, although new additives are making them more flexible.
