I've gotta admit, I had fun with my entry level filament printer, but I now own 3 resin printers too, and they're never turned off. Yes, they do have to be taken care of, especially with regards to the resin, but it's worth it.
At this point I'd better add, all mine are in my purpose built mancave, however I did run them in the house kitchen, for a while.
Each one has it's own personality, kinda like a cat or a car? But once you hone into it, you can create almost anything? The details are immense and your own imagination, is your limit!
I've literally just printed a 1/14 truck, with all the bells and whistles, and I'm happy with the results. It's taken me around 2 weeks, but I did use 6 bottles of High Speed Resin, which without, probably would've taken me another 3-4 weeks?
For you guys in the know, Standard resin prints at roughly 4 layers a minute. High Speed Resin is around 12 layers a minute.
My love for the printers, is because I can print models, that we can't buy?
I love scratchbuilding, but now I can flick my finger and the cab, hood and sleeper are printing, while I'm building the chassis? It's definitely been a game changer in my life, without a doubt.
You definitely need to be aware of the dangers though. Plenty of ventilation, gloves, mask and goggles. I also have mini air purifiers in each printer, and heaters.
And whatever you do, don't smoke near the 99% alcohol!
And most importantly, don't drink it!

Thank you Bozzer for your information and opinion. I will see what the future brings and if it's time to by a printer, I will definitely research and inform myself about it a little more and maybe come back to you guys, because you know the terms of 3D printers definitely better than I.

And don't worry, I do not smoke or drink alcohol. So this won't be a problem 🙂

Looking good, following. 👍

Very interesting. I'll take a look.

Michael Kohl
Me too. Anxious to see how you fare with the non-ACE ACE-kit.

Qwertzel autor
Well, the kit looks good. The plastic is solid and the fitting is good. For sure there is a little bit of flash but nothing crazy. So I hope the build goes down without any problems

Bozzer
That's quite a fleet, you're building there, mate. I'm guessing that you're in the business?

Qwertzel autor
Thanks, yes you are right. I'm in business since I'm six years old

You need to be careful with the black and white parts. I broke many of them while building the chassis

Bozzer
That cab looks mighty complicated to operate.
I guess that it's safer inside, than outside?
Them boys deal with firefighting, on a different level.
Excellent work, as always, and merry Christmas to you.

Good luck with this project. Always like the look of these more modern Unimogs.

Qwertzel autor
I completely agree. The 435 just look better than the 404.

Goldman
Congratulation for completing this model. Nice collection of fire vehicles.

I agree!

I see you've left the license plate holder on. I should have done the same! I tried to remove it as requested in the instructions by "sanding it off" but my result isn't very good. The whole rear side looks a bit rough now haha.
