When choosing a 3D printer, most people focus on two key parameters: resolution (layer thickness) and print speed. High resolution is great for detailed prototypes and fine parts, but it can significantly increase print time. On the other hand, fast printing is advantageous for large-volume production or test models, though surface quality may sometimes be unsatisfactory. How do you strike a balance between these two? In which situations is it logical to prioritize resolution, and in which should speed take precedence? In your opinion, what is the ideal approach as a community, and what are the technical reasons behind these preferences? I look forward to your thoughts!

Thanks bro, I think it depends on the intended use; for detailed models, prioritizing resolution makes sense, and for quick prototyping, speed is the way to go. So, what size parts are you usually working with? Do you often handle large-volume prints?
