Best Resin Printer for Miniatures in 2026
Why Resin 3D Printers Are Best for Miniatures If you’re chasing crisp facial features, sharp armor edges, or runes that are actually readable, resin is really the only option. Miniatures demand extreme detail at a tiny scale, and that’s exactly where resin printing shines. With layer heights as low as 0.025 mm, layer lines all but disappear, letting facial expressions, chainmail, and surface textures stay sharp instead of turning into a soft plastic blur. Resin also delivers strong repeatability. Once......

Which Resin Is Best for 3D Printing Fine Details vs Functional Parts?
Resin 3D printing is often marketed as a single category, but in practice, the resin you choose matters more than the printer itself. A photosensitive resin optimized for ultra-fine surface detail behaves very differently from a resin designed for load-bearing or heat-resistant parts. Treating them as interchangeable is one of the most common reasons resin prints fail to meet expectations. When comparing 3D printing resin types, the real question isn’t which resin is “best” overall, it’s what the part......

Water-Soluble Resin: Easy Post-Processing with Water
Water-soluble resin is a 3D printing resin that is soluble in water and can be cleaned with water instead of traditional isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or other chemical solvents. This innovation reduces the need for harsh chemicals in post-processing, saving material costs and making resin 3D printing more convenient and environmentally friendly. This article will introduce the characteristics and usage techniques of water-soluble resin. Source: https://www.crealitycloud.com/product/details/Water-Washable-R......
