The printer is the purchase everyone researches; the consumables are the purchases that never stop. A 28-32mm supported miniature uses maybe 10-20ml of resin - pennies per model - but the resin comes by the litre, the FEP or ACF film under the vat is a wear part that gives out every 20-100 prints, and everything that leaves the plate needs washing and curing. This shelf is that running spine, from the hobby shops we already track rather than a marketplace lottery: printer resin by chemistry, replacement film, flex plates, resin tanks and UV curing chambers, with the machines themselves listed where a partner stocks them.
Buy the resin on chemistry, not brand loyalty - standard, water-washable, ABS-like and plant-based print differently and clean up differently, and the cheap litre is no bargain if half of it goes on failed supports. Film is the part people forget to reorder: check whether your printer takes FEP or ACF before it clouds, not after. A curing chamber beats a sunny windowsill for one reason only - repeatability.
