    The bottleneck isn’t acquiring plastic. The bottleneck is everything else.

    This is spot on. I’ve had resin printers for ~6 years now, I’m quite skilled at adding supports to models (and despise pre-supported ones). I bought the first one fully intending to print RPG minis and maybe also make my own 40k army. Printed a lot of minis, printed some on commission, sold some, including 40k, but never made an army, “my” army, I get stuck at choosing a force/faction and then making the composition. The ready made combat patrols just feel “meh”

    Most importantly, I only know one 40k group and they play ~30km away from where I live. I already do that kind of trip every single day for work, so that was a huge dampener to me.
