Got to experience working with resin 3D printers

Before I bought my first 3D printer (MK3 in 2018), I was wrestling with which to buy - filament printer or resin printer. My impression about resin printer is clean and sharp printout. Ultimately, I ended up with MK3 (and went on bought another MK3 and then two Minis).

Few months ago, I got new job, working at dental manufacturer as scanner/designer anterior crowns and got layoff. I was allowed to search within company to work different department and I had interview with my bosses and they were asking me if I'm afraid of computers. I told them no and I showed them my racing simulation and my 4 Prusa printers. And then they immediately wanted me to work with them. I ended up as their 3D printer technician. We have huge SprintRay, Asiga, and (much bigger) LuxCreo printers. They all are resin printers - we made nightguards and snooze prevent pieces. It was cakewalk for me since I have lot of experience with slicer and understanding 3D printer troubleshooting, etc... 

After working with them for 3 weeks, for some reason, I felt that I'm glad I did not buy resin printer. While resin printer can print faster - no matter how many models you put on a platform and the print time length remains same - and much nice and clean shape. But it's very messy and it's pain to clean them up - not to mention, you need to wash them off with isopropyl alcohol and then cure it. I don't have to worry about failed print (like filament does) through I have came across few failed prints as pieced did not stick to platform (then forced me to run full tray/tank print and then peel off from bottom of tray). 

I know filament printers can be pain, too, but I would rather having filament printer over resin printer. I'm glad that I got to experienced with both 3D printer materials.
