> I have been doing 3D printing for a decade, and have been through all the pitfalls. It was a long hard road to get consistent quality prints.

A decade ago, I would have agreed.

The situation has changed so much in the past 2 years that it's not very difficult to get high quality prints from a modern printer.

Sending files to a professional 3D print shop will produce better parts, but it's nowhere near a necessity for something like a simple Raspberry Pi case. Those projects are perfect for the latest generation home 3D printers.

I have fdm and resin. Bambu absolutely changed the fdm world. But for resin if I need something done perfect, I just send it off. I’ve had 100% success rate on all the resin prints I didn’t print myself. Anyway.
