• Filament prints are more durable than resin prints 
  
• Resin prints are affected by heat, I find they can warp if sat in my car on a hot sunny day
  
• Resin printing can be quicker than filament printing
  
• Resin is more of a homogenous part without layers that filament prints have
  

For bodyshells and super fine detail stuff I prefer resin, for chassis I much prefer filament

Ref my previous thread question :-) You have already answered it.... Thank you
