Formlabs Studio 1: a \$699 resin printer from Formlabs

formlabs.com

Formlabs has always been the 'pro' resin printer brand with pro pricing. Now there's a \$699 founders edition. That's suddenly competing with Elegoo and Anycubic territory. Worth it for hobbyists, or is the material lock-in going to make it expensive long term?
