For one thing, IME with cheap hobbyist 3d printers (e.g., Ender printing PLA), the article is dead on about accuracy... people say 3d printers are good for 0.1mm but I don't know how long they spend tuning the machine. I mean, they are... kind of... just not reliably. CNC accuracy of 0.025mm is much easier to achieve (IME).

If you mean to tell me that I should just have a resin printer to start with, well I agree but I think we should be specific about what kind of 3D printing we are discussing.

Remember, the guide was written over a decade ago. Certainly 3d printing has gotten better, cheaper, and a lot more reliable. Resin is really strong, though.
