I'm doing well with resin printing, and am now working FEDM printing. I am currently building a a somewhat elaborate house with small details like railings and thin doors. I'm not happy with the (lack of) detail on these items done by FDM, so I kind of want to print the small thin items in resin. I can't see any reason not to, but I figured I would ask. |

Resin will have the finer detail. How fine can be an issue in any case. I use FDM for 'gross' structure like buildings and vehicles in 15mm. Troops will get resin. |

Mix
Printing FDM with the high detail necessary for details (like doors and windows on a building) makes the whole process very slow. Mixing them is the way to go, if the item allows it. |

It's best when the model comes in separate pieces, with larger structural components in FDM and small attachable detail pieces in resin.
Usually, gel superglue is good for attachment. |
