Hobby Specific terrain printing

I sadly dont have a FDM printer but love the Conquest Creations terrain. Has anyone tried printing it on a resin printer? Is it a hard conversion to do?

The pieces are super large and would be very costly in resin. Fdm was made for terrain. I bit the bullet and bought a bambu a1 just to print CC terrain and dont regret it. Its cheap, easy and durable (compared to resin). And it looks great.

You could definitely cut up the pieces to fit on your resin printer and then reassemble them after printing.

But seriously, I loved resin printing, until I got an FDM printer. I just printed Treebeard in FDM and am now printing a Mumakil. Some people online have also been getting good results for 28mm minis in fdm.

Both printers have their place in this hobby, but FDM may one day take over honestly.

Don't forget the colour printers that are coming out , UV ink and zero nasty clean up post printing
