Nova 3D printing are coming to Charlbury Street Fair on Saturday with some toys etc they have made. Might be worth speaking to them to see if they could help.

Can I hijack this and ask if anyone in charlbury does fdm printing? There's some stuff I'd be happy to pay to have printed fory nerdy hobbies! Open to recommendations in the vicinity too (Witney chippy Oxford etc,)

If you want lots of detail but little strength then a resin printer can provide these. Lots of mucking about with liquids and baths.

FDM printing ( drum of plastic string) can give strength and is good for larger items below 300mm x 300mm. Get an auto levelling bed. These are normally cheaper than resin printers.

Avoid bambulab printers as these have cloud service lock-ins. 

Some American printers now/will have to have STL scanning build in to prohibit anything printing that looks like a gun so avoid these printer also.

If I had to buy a new 3D printer I would go for k1c carbon as it can print parts with carbon filled filament ( strong for gears )  the https://www.creality.com/products/k1c-carbon-3d-printer .
