FDM vs Resin Quiz
The choice comes down to what you're making and where you're printing. Five questions, honest answer.
Question 1 of 5
What will you mainly print?
How the answer is scored
Each answer gives points to FDM, resin, or a split of both. The higher total wins, and a tie goes to FDM.
- Resin earns points for ultra-fine detail, small prints like miniatures and jewelry, a tolerance for washing and curing, and a workshop or garage with ventilation.
- FDM earns points for functional parts, large prints like helmets and props, prints that come off the bed ready to use, and a printer that lives in a living room or bedroom.
- The gap sets the confidence: 5 points or more is a strong match, 2 to 4 is a good match, and under 2 means you could go either way.
Once you have an answer, the quiz shows the three highest-scored printers of that type, so you can go straight from "resin or filament?" to a shortlist.
