When choosing a 3D printer, which type do you tend to prefer?
A) Resin printer (high precision, great for details)
B) FDM printer (affordable materials, beginner-friendly)
C) Both—I want to try them out!

For beginners, I'd personally recommend starting with Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM, option B) because it has a low entry barrier, affordable materials (like PLA, which is great for practice), and allows you to repeatedly disassemble and study the structure. Once you're comfortable with the basics, then you can consider getting a resin printer for high-precision models.
