Hi everyone. I’m looking into my first 3D printer and would like a resin one for the great detail it can produce. I’m looking for companies that make respected machines that aren’t out of China. I know of Prusa but their resin printer is incredibly expensive for me and a beginner.

As a second note, I would love to support a USA company as a first choice if available and like the software and firmware to be open source. I’m happy to have found PrusaSlicer with UVtools so there’s one less Chinese/semi proprietary/subscription based software.

    Fair enough. But their products can be flashed with open spurce firmware, like klipper and marlin. That should remove any spying that would happen.

    Of course, if you’re worried about spying, don’t get the closed source stuff like bambu or whatever, but there are those where you can just flash a new firmware on it.
