>>the only experience I have with creating and programming machines was with those motorized legos with a yellow box when I was a kid.

I love legos and all but a machine made out of legos wouldn't be very practical and The legos Were from my school.

nope, not a problem, one just adds tiny holes to drain the resin

>Stereolithography(resin printing) has quite a bit of advantages over FDM can be very accurate and very fast, like VERY FAST!

>The only thing holding back resin printing is the cost of resins and the fact that resins degrade when exposed to sunlight(almost like vampires)
Can they make multi colored objects with resin?

>OP, this is a bad time to get into the home 3d printing market as there currently is a bubble that is about to burst.
But there aren't many people that know about 3D printers outside hobbyist groups.


>There are more FDM machines on the market than you'd believe and if some big company decides there's a market for home 3d printers and start mass producing them, they will destroy the market for 'amateur made' 3d printers overnight
That's why kickstarter.

Also what I learn building this will be helpful in future.
