Agreed, but it's worth calling out that some niches more or less require resin.

Anything small and aesthetic is going to basically require resin. Warhammer minis and jewelry (tiny filigree) come to mind.

FDMs have gotten better, but you're still not going to get those fine sub-millimeter details like you can with resin.

Yeah, resin is a must for minis.

I outsource to a guy a know who's a jeweller and has his workflow down. Tried doing it myself and hated it.
