3D printed Ergo parts: SLA vs. FDM? - Lemmy.world

Hi All, I’m planning to print a plate & case for a handwired 46-key split kb. I have access to both SLA & FDM printers at a fab lab, so wondering which printer tech would be best to print various parts such as keycaps, plate, case etc. Function’s more important than looks for me. I’m allowed to use PLA or TPU for the FDM, and the default resin (ABS-like?) for SLA. I’m thinking: - Keycaps: SLA (I want really thin keycaps) - Plate: ?? (not sure what’s better for a thin & durable plate that allows a bit of flex when typing) - Case: FDM (Due to costs, and easy to embed screws & magnets) What do you think?

It’s just more due to the size and it being a mostly flat print makes it ideal for fdm.
